New Jackson Project Unveiled [a guest post]

by George Held on September 12, 2009

San Francisco, August 28, 2009 (INS). Reuters reports that before his untimely death Michael Jackson “aimed to direct [a] movie about foster children.” Apparently Mr. Jackson wanted to reclaim his childhood lost onstage with The Jackson Five and at the home of his abusive father, Joe Jackson. [The senior Jackson is known as “Shod” Joe Jackson to avoid confusion with “Shoeless” Joe Jackson of the “Black Sox,” who were actually White Sox. –Ed.]     

fingerlessgloveWhile most responses to the late entertainer’s plan have been positive, INS has learned of some dissent on this matter. A prime detractor has been the support group Victims of Child Abuse Lobby (VOCAL), whose leadership has vowed to picket the film shoot should any of Michael Jackson’s collaborators try to follow through on the project, which is tentatively titled “The Ungloved Hand.”

According to VOCAL spokesman Russell R. Russell, “This would have been a set-up for a known pedophile to get his hands on child actors and extras while he ‘directed’ them. We at VOCAL must intervene.”

Tony Bambino, press agent for the National Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), countered that “America owes its greatness to free enterprise. Let no boy be off limits to any enterprising gay man.” He then threw handfuls of rose petals at the assembled reporters.

Go online at INS.com to vote in our poll on the question “Should the Jackson Five Fingers go ungloved or unloved?”

Another poll question as we commemorate another anniversary of 9/11 is: “Who should be in charge of how 9/11 is memorialized—surviving relatives of the victims, state and city government, or real-estate interests?”

I believe that Michael’s gloved hand should be placed in Lenin’s tomb. Others have suggested placing it in formaldehyde, some in pickle juice, and still others say it should be cryogenically preserved and placed beside Walt Disney, whose fascination with Tinker Bell has been suspect ever since he began NATBLA (National Tinker Bell Love Association) in 1960.

I always wondered about Disney. Why was Gepetto so obsessed with Pinoccio becoming a “real boy”?

Great post George! “Shod” Joe Jackson! Coffe meets keyboard.
