I actually used to like the young, black Michael Jackson from the Thriller era. He was a great entertainer. Maybe he still is, but I wouldn't know -- can't get past all the other crazy stuff, including his reinvention as a white woman.

Before he was Carlton on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, he was Alfonso on Silver Spoons, which is how I'll always remember him. *Sigh*

.....I love Pepsi, and their subsidiary, Frito-lay, who make the saltiest, tastiest, most fat-laden snacks around. But my god, they've shown an uncanny knack for signing up smarmy artists to make commercials with over the years!

.....I do have to admit, even as a metal-loving, disco-sux kinda guy, that Thriller was cool. Even better was a Halloween special he put together about 5 years ago, where he at one point played the part of a fat, evil white male mayor. Superb! Nothing like kidnapping townspeople and scaring the crap out of them to get them to like you! Wait... sounds too much like his real life!
