his dad would beat his brothers if michael messed up in rehearsals.. dude didnt have a childhood. so in his eyes, he literally viewed the kids as friends. man.. if you had kids and they stayed at the house of a mega millionaire.. dont tell me it wouldnt cross your mind (that is if you were no good) to get some money out of him.. its too easy.

Btw, I appreciate you being civil and not jumping straight to the insults. It's hard to find people like that around.

but as fanboyish: said.. i had read or heard that jackson really did have mental issues to the point that he was like a big child. it happens to lots of child stars... anybody that goes through that rarely ends up normal. but yeah, they were messing up michaels public image.. so yeah.. paying them to stop it.. giving them what they wanted (if they were indeed lying) would be the best choice. he'd have spent more money going through years of court with them probably. also, if it really is true that he had mentally regressed to the thought of a child, he was probably being encouraged to just give them money and go on with it.

also, about him having a better life than anyone on kotaku.. i doubt it. he may have had better MONEY than us, but im glad that i got to have friends as a child and that my dad didnt beat me.. or sneak into my window with a mask and scare me to teach me not to leave the window open. i understand people being upset about it and saying its a sad day because when youve been exposed to someone your entire life. i mean, my is only like 3 or 4 years younger than him, and she grew up listening to his music.. she was a huge fan. screamed when he came on tv, had his records and whatnot.. so itd only make sense shed be affected by these whether she knew him or not. i didnt react to him like that, but he had some songs i liked, and some things are passed on from generation to generation. this news saddened me because i knew my mom would be really upset.

lastly, death is sad no matter who it is (unless its scum that we know is scum for a fact like hitler or something). so yeah.. if just some random guy died that we all at least KNEW OF.. i wouldnt find it funny to make jokes about it at any time. i dont like making jokes about death, no matter whos involved.
