Mar 8 2006Michael Jackson's getting buff for your approval
Guess there's not much to do in Bahrain. In one of the stranger stories to come around, Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine is telling reporters that the reclusive pop singer is doing 300-push-ups a day as part of an intensive weight-lifting regiment, with the hopes of becoming more "macho" and revitalizing his career. Apparently, Jackson didn't see how power-lifting helped Carrot Top's career.
The guess here is that buffing up has little to do with trying to appear more manly - he could achieve that simply by throwing out his stuffed animals and stop befriending little boys - but that he's been frightened into action after hearing the news about Yanni's battering ways. A hilarious street war's a-brewing, everybody. And we all have front rows seats.

I'm first and you're all jealous...you know it! Anyway...
A good starting point to become more manly would be to get rid of his vagina.

I find it hard to believe Michael Jackson CAN do 300 push ups. Unless there's a little boy under him.

Boo hoo buttsmack, you ARE #1.

im fourth...woot. yeah....
so he's decided not to be a muslim women anymore? yeah, that was making him seem a bit feminine...

Well, maybe if he just kept doing pushups all the time, it would keep him out of trouble. It's hard to chase after little boys when you are down on all fours.

I wonder if making 300 push-ups will help me finish college.
I mean, it did wonders for Carrot Top.

I guess when Michael Jackson says he's going to get 'buff', it actually means that he will get one less plastic surgery each year.
Those "300 push-ups" are the ones he does with his nose. He's hardcore.

#4 LOL! I'm sure the berka is still around somewhere? How bulky does he think he's gonna get? He looks like a 12 year old bo. No one thinks he's sexy. Except those freaks who flew halfway around the world and quit their jobs to stand outside the courtroom.

Hmm, when I first read the caption, I thought it meant 'buff' as in 'naked'. That would definitely not meet with my approval. Then again, pretty much nothing that Michael Jackson does meets with my approval. Except the part when he dies. That part's ok.

Maybe if he were serious about being more masculine he'd cut off his perm and wear a 'fro. Too little too late!!!!

11th bitches...
Strangely, but not surprisingly, I'm more scared than ever. A muscular Jackson...that puts fear in me like no other..
12. happy_bunny - March 8, 2006 8:08 PM
He can buff up. Sure.
Now what's he going to do about his face? Or his voice? Or his total lack of testosterone? Or everything anyone's ever known about him for the last 30+ years?

I think it's physically impossible for Wacko Jacko to be masculine.
16. slinkhard - March 9, 2006 5:59 AM
Fantastic. Because what was putting the ladies off was clearly his lack of muscle tone, and not the paedophilia, skin-bleaching or monkey-screwing.

Do any of you think that if given the chance, Micheal would molest the child version of himself?...I'd fuck the shit out of myself; the younger, curious, and sexier version of myself. I'd much rather take my OWN anal virginity than have Teri Hatchers uncle do it for me...Jerk never even kissed me goodnight...
18. tits_on_snack - March 9, 2006 11:23 AM
GROSS. He is almost fifty years old, his face is sliding off its skull, he's a disgusting little boy toucher, he calls his kids 'blanket', he wears circus clown face paint on a regular basis, he has a woman's hairdo, some sort of skin deficiency that makes him change race, his nose is decomposing, he wants to be a child forever, he invites young boys over for drunken sleepovers, he's had about a million plastic surgeries, he thinks girls are icky...
Yeah. Some muscles are totally going to change my mind about this man.

Jacko doing push ups to look more manly is like Stevie Wonder doing eye exercises to be able to see better.
20. gogoboots - March 9, 2006 12:29 PM
This just makes me shudder, there's no way he could possibly become more "macho". There may have been a time when he was blacker he was actually more manly. But now he's just a paler imitation of a man from an alien sexless race.
21. playahater101 - March 9, 2006 12:48 PM
#18 LOL!! You hit the nail on the head. Like the "muscles" he's gonna develop from doing push ups are gonna make us all forget he's a boy chasing plastic surgery nightmare. I was reading an article not too long ago about how he got his son Blanket from a catalog. In case anyone's interested in reading it

The Last brilliant idea of his to look more masculine was to wear that creepy phoney facial stubble. That didn't work out so well.

The mere fact that Jermaine could say that Wacko does 300 push ups a day and not break into hysterical laughter at his own silliness means he's either doped to the gills or certifiably insane. We've heard evidence that Wacko doesn't even bother to bend over to pick up his used manpons from where he yanks them out and drops them. I doubt he can COUNT to 300, nevermind do 1/100th of that amount in situps.
As for changing his looks he might want to contact that surgical team in France who put the new face on the woman who had her's eaten off by her dog. Wacko could plead the same cause - obviously something's been hacking away at that hidious mug of his.
Too bad he's broke, though. I bet people in France like to get paid.
