    More evidence that the "King of Pop" wasn't just an adult who never grew up, but a calculating predator:

    This isn't exactly news. Hasn't the Macauley Culkin thing been speculated about for at least 20 years?

    And in a couple of days, when the anniversary of his death is marked, we will be inundated with testimonials to his musical brilliance, many of which will suggest that he was railroaded and that any mention of these alleged atrocities is tantamount to racism. Please spare us all.

    Yeah, the Sunday People has great FBI sources I'm sure.

    Some of you people would fall for anything.

    Is that a mistake, or was Mommy just sitting there while Jacko put up porn films?

    Oxford comma would have helped here.

    Are you questioning the specific reporting in this story, or the larger story that Jackson was an unrepentant, calculating, sexual predator?

    But the Mail can get away with paying sources, where most of us this side of the pond don't.

    This should probably be moved to the Anything Goes board. It's not sports, neither is it news to anyone.
