Nov 13 2008Michael Jackson can no longer attract children with amusement park, must rely on personality
Michael Jackson's piss-poor finances have caused him to hand Neverland Ranch over to a real estate company that saved him from foreclosure. Michael does own a partial share of the company but has basically abandoned the amusement park since 2003, according to the AP:
The singer filed a grant deed on the ranch Monday that makes the new owner an entity called the Sycamore Valley Ranch Co. LLC, Tom Pearson of the Santa Barbara County clerk-recorder's office said Wednesday.
Sycamore Valley Ranch Co. is a joint venture between Jackson and an affiliate of Colony Capital LLC, according to a person with knowledge of the transaction who was not authorized to speak on the record and requested anonymity.
The person could not say what would become of the 2,500-acre property in the bucolic, oak-studded hills of Santa Barbara County's wine country, 120 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
I doubt they can reopen the park to the public unless they get rid of the hand-painted "No Pants Allowed" sign in front of the Ferris wheel. That said, Michael Jackson has always had a special place in his heart for children but must now lure them in with simple promises of candy, or depending on his budget restraints, the pan flute.

If Michael Jackson has to rely on his weird ass, vacuous personality to attract anything other than flies, he is totally shit out of luck.
Karma at its infinite finest ...

Even his fingers are disturbing, and not just because they've been in places that they shouldn't have!

How can he be broke??? Oh right. Awful plastic surgeries are expensive..
So are settlements and hush moneies..I kind of feel sorry for it.

This mentally ill pedophile freak should be rotting in a prison cell for his crimes against children. There is a special place in Hell already set up and waiting for him, right next to O.J. Simpson.

Man how sad one of the richest dudes in the world (at one time) cant even scale back enough to keep his pedophile ranch.

Back in the day he was the most talented musical entertainer in the world. Sure, he turned into a total freak, but those kids had parents who sought him out and were delighted to meet him in person and let their kids stay over. The parents and the kids got what they deserved.

I'm old enough to remember when he was black.
Just too fucking weird.....

It's a tough economy and everybody has to try to save money. In fact, just the other day Michael Jackson was seen shopping at Walmart, of all places. Possibly it was because he misinterpreted the sign that said "boys pants half off".

Poor guy. He finally finishes turning himself into a white man, and Obama is about to hand the country over to the n i g g e r s.

When is Michael getting his own reality show on E?
I know it's coming.

"Reality" or "Realty?" - or do you mean Real Estate?

*yawn* veggi is angry, and probably hungry, but definitely has a large object jammed in their rectum.

After they eat their 3,000 calorie meals, obese people get yawning fits because their grossly distended stomachs make breathing difficult. It's a potentially dangerous situation that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Thumperchica, I'm very concerned about you. Forget all those worries about "I'll never find a man who can see past all this fat" - it's time to put first things first and see a doctor. A computer, a reinforced chair, sweats, and a pile of Twinkies is no type of life.
27. Thumperchica - November 13, 2008 11:58 AM
@26 - well done. =) Although, it's ding-dongs, not twinkies ;-)

#17 Go to hell, troll. I hate you. And I think hating is a sin, therefore I will see you in hell and that is where I am going to drink an ice cold Bridgeport right in front of you (not offering you any of course), then break the bottle over your head, shove it up your ass and twist it. Then God will be so proud of me that he will yank me out of hell and seat me next to Jesus..

And I heard that he appeared on a millionaire & celebrity dating club ^^^^^^MillionaireLoving. C O M^^ ^^^^with a personal account there. Maybe you have the chance to talk to him online. It is amazing.
34. FRIST!!! - November 13, 2008 2:06 PM
Yeah. 32 I care what you think..

What kind of "man" wears bright red lipstick? Does Michael even know he is wierd?
36. boo - November 13, 2008 2:38 PM
I handed out candy dressed as MJ the year he was on trial for child molestation. M0st parents would not let their kids come to my door. True story.

Well this explains why my real estate company has been getting weird enquiries from someone looking to buy a one bedroom gingerbread house.
I was wondering about that ...

Regardless of the slide that Michael has created for himself, it's hard to forget the moves this pop star put on society and the musical industry as a whole. Billie Jean still remains one of the best back beats ever created and opened up a whole new era of black artists appearing on MTV. You opened the door and your heart to us Michael and for that, we will never forget.

Hey Randal,
Wacko is a talentless fag just like you. His music sucked, and he's a pedophile, like you most likely are. He was a fad.........his time is long over........kinda like yours.........

Hey guys! Wanna get rid of an embarrassing boner? Go look at Frist's childish website featuring retarded pics of her ugly face and inbred friends. Awesome entertainment for the whole family!

I actually read that the pedo sold the ranch to his own corporation. Someday this piece of trash will no longer be on the earth. It already looks like a skull.

"Michael Jackson can no longer attract children with amusement park, must rely on personality"
Then why not install a pipe over to the nearest grade school's urinals? That way he can drink "little boy lemonade" whenever he wants! Problem solved!
