Michael Jackson Parking Lot
We can argue all week about whether or not the media's reaction to Michael Jackson's death has been overly sensationalized and deeply disingenuous, and I'm sure that if the media has its way we will, but one thing we cannot argue about, because there is no argument, is that Michael Jackson had a lot of fans. So many fans, in fact, that you are bound to get a few crazies. It's just statistics. His sampling pool of humanity was too large not to include just so many crazies that if, for example, just a random example picked for no reason, he were to be put on trial for child molestation, enough fervent supporters would leave WHATEVER THEY WERE DOING IN THEIR LIVES, and go to support him outside of the courthouse, and there would be enough of them there that you could make a whole feature-length documentary about them.
TALK ABOUT LIVING LIFE OFF THE WALL. (Sorry.)
(Thanks for the tip, Darci.)

i'd like to think that if videogum was ever on trial for molesting the internet, a small, but dedicated contingent of core supporters would show up to e-court with signs and in mesh shirts.
Score = 34
Unlike MJ though, I believe that videogum is an internet predator and will continue its crimes until its put to e-justice.
Score = 10
My sign is going to read "Relax, Technojury"

As some one who's spent a lot of time and money on Morrissey I'm reluctant to treat fans of other polarizing artists too negatively but The Jackson 5....Million (and the Pullitzer for titles goes to......) make it extremely hard to do so.
Score = 2
My favorite was the woman that released a dove for each not guilty verdict at his trial. Amazing.
Score = 6
Interestingly enough, in Catholicism a white dove is released every time a new Pope is aquitted of child molestation. It's a beautiful and revered tradition.
Score = 9
