Oprah talks with Michael Jackson 

   After 14 years of silence popstar Michael
Jackson last week agreed to talk to the press,
personified as Oprah W.
   Normally it might not be that interesting to 
hear the pearls from a popstars lips.
   But certainly Michael Jackson is something else.
Obviously :  he is more successful and obviously
are the rumours surrounding him far 'better',
than what ordinary PR people can come up with.

   I for one were rather keen to learn the 'truth'
behind the tabloid headlines :-)

   a) Is it true , that Michael sleeps in an
      Oxygen incubator to stay young ?

   b) What kind of chemical did he use , to go
      from being black to being more white , than
      most white people ?

   c) How much did he pay for the skeleton of
      the 'elephant-man' ?

   d) Did he and Cher swop cheek-bones during
      plastic surgery ?

   e) Is he and Liz Taylor really secretly married,
      and was Bubbles his best man ?

   f) Was the ceremony held at the Betty Ford clinic ?

   g) Is his best friend , the chimpanzee Bubbles ,
      undergoing psychiatric treatment , as a result
      of a confusing family life , along side
      Dean Martins  alcoholic pet crocodile ?

   h) Is Michaels 'Moon - walk' commonplace on his
      (and ALFs) homeplanet of Melmac ?

   i) Will Michael run for president with Dan Quayle
      on his ticket ?


   Surely nothing mediocre or boring coming out
of the Jackson mansion.....

   But OK , poor Michael tried hard to deny all
these diabolic rumours during the talk with Oprah .
But actually not very successful , if you ask
this poster. After all : truth , as beauty , layes
in the eyes of the beholder.
   Which makes me wonder what kind of people we 
tv-viewers really are ?
