Michael Jackson Documentary - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I saw the documentary last night on Michael Jackson in the UK, did anyone read about it?
Michael invites underpriveliged kids to his home, and they go around his home, which has a ferris wheel and amusement fairground rides. They then say in the same room as him, he says they ask to stay. He's very odd. Every question about what people say about him is answered by "People are ignorant". He dances a bit in it, makes his children (one of which has got his hair dyed) wear masks. He probably isn't a paedophile, but he is crazy now. He spent $3.5 Million in one store. He has statues from peter pan, the animated film in his house everywhere. Get this- HE SAID- HE ONLY HAD PLASTIC SURGERY TWICE, ONLY ON HIS NOSE! anyway, does anyone have an oppinion on his weird lifestyel?

I read about that programme, the person in the article on Teletext who was a phycolagist said that Jackson is trying to pretend that he is still a child and does not want to accept that he has grown up.

I watched that programme and I found it quite disturbing.
I feel rather sorry for Michael. He obviously has issues about the loss of his childhood and the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father. He seems to be trying to regain his childhood by surrounding himself with toys, childlike items (his obsession with Peter Pan - 'the boy who never grew up' - is very telling IMO) and spending a lot of his free-time with young kids.
Him saying that he shares his bed with young boys was particularly disturbing. However I don't think there's anything sexual going on - if there was why would he admit to this so freely? He clearly believes that this kind of behaviour is acceptable.
While the vast majority of the public think he's nuts, he obviously seems to perceive the way he lives as perfectly normal. All his life he has been surrounded by sychophants and people pandering to him and singing his praises and, as a result, he's lost all touch with reality.
I find it all very sad.

It made the front cover of the New York Post. I was reading it this morning. Did the program air in the US yet?

I believe all or part of the British Jacko documentary will be shown this Thursday on ABC's "20/20."

I cannot wait.

ONLY TWO PLASTIC SURGERIES? This guy just keeps getting better and better!
