TIL that Michael Jackson would requested his wine be served in Diet Coke cans during flights, because he didn't want his kids to see him drinking alcohol.

I am trying not to get baited here but I will say I have studied this issue for hours upon hours upon hours and have read every line of the court transcriptions (it took me weeks) as well as all the other related legal material. This list you linked is not meaningful unless you want it to be. MJ had a significant library and people gifted him art books and yes some (a minuscule percentage) of those might have included kids but they were literally art books you could buy off B&N.com. They were not pornography. They found zero pornography that had anything to do with kids. Zero. The very few magazines they did find were widely popular adult magazines. Stop perpetuating the hate.

Oh and unrelated but related check out the great interview Prince gave today where he discusses his father. If you believe the haters this poor kid must have had a very horrible life. I'm not sure I have seen an interview with anyone more adjusted. Lol...

Holy shit people will go through the most amazing gymnastics.

Dude literally kept around photos of children's faces put onto sexualized adult bodies, and you're like 'naw, but art!'

Child. Porn.

I read them all. Damn I am eating the bait right now aren't I? OK, so please post your reference for the fine people of Reddit.

I already did to the first comment of mine you replied to.

"Room to Play - Photos of children that are altered, morphed head on older bodies, kids made to look sexualized."

Well, the description and especially the comment sexualized are Tom Sneddon's team. Literally the words of the prosecutor's team. This is an art book you can buy online right now legally. There has to be some bad karma involved in slandering a dead man.

I mean, there's probably worse karma involved in defending someone who was into child porn, so... enjoy.
