Aw, man. :(

Was there any solid evidence that he was a pedophile?

People can easily make up their own mind as to if leaving kids unattended around the dude would be safe.

No. He liked being around kids so people thought he was a pedophile but when you look at his whole life he just wanted to stay a kid and live like one(look at his home for god sake).

And that's the essence of it.

Poster that posted that obviously thinks no. Other people might think that a person with those emotions and an adult sex drive could become confused and embroiled in unfortunate scenarios where he might have to settle out of court for large sums of money FOR INSTANCE.

Court says innocent.
 
CNN is always a bit behind with breaking news. There is going to be some serious egg on the face of Fox News if he is not dead yet, though. Unfortunately they are typically pretty accurate with breaking big stories...
 
Well, TMZ says he's dead :P

Everything else I've read says he's still alive but not in good shape. He definitely went into cardiac arrest, that's the shared detail among all the stories.

I'm not going to derail this thread into this further (and I don't want to get banned) but I think you guys bash Guybrush just because you don't want to hurt anyone by comparing them into what you define as monster (Pedophiles). If you think about it, intellectually, he's pretty much right. Whatever though, this is not the thread for this discussion.

Not really. If that's the case (can't help who you are attracted to), then I guess heterosexuals are the same as pedophiles.

Please rethink your logic.

Except a pedophile rapes children and gay people just date the same sex.

Nononono a pedophile LIKES children. Raping children is something that's far beyond pedophilia.

Honestly though, I'm genuinely shocked at the outpouring of emotion over this. I thought his star had diminished. Apparently not. By my recollection the first impact of this is bigger than George Harrison's death.

If he is dead his funeral will be one of the world's biggest ever. People will come from all over the world to see him off.

I'd just like to point out when terrible things happen to normal people, roughly 30 joke posts follow.

When a man who changed his appearance to look freakier than anyone ever and was accused of molesting children dies, saddest thing ever.

Not to start trouble, because he made good music. Just found it funny.

this is micheal fucking jackson, he's done more amazing things in his life than all of those normal people combined
 
All the local stations are reporting he's just hospitalized. I guess we're just waiting for the official word.

Except you're talking about sex offenders. A gay man can rape someone if he wishes to. Pedophiles are not rapists unless they fulfill their fantasies.

Where did I say gay or pedophiles are different than heterosexuals?

This would be much Ledger man.. MJ is famous through out the whole world.

Comparing this to Ledger is laughable; few people knew who he was. Michael Jackson defined a fucking generation, and was/is one of the greatest modern entertainers ever

And this is the guy people were expecting to carry out a concert I knew he was nowhere near up to doing it.

If he overdosed on sleeping pills, as it appears, his phsyical health wasn't so much the issue...

LOL at the Pedo defense force in here now.

They can fuck off.

Heath Ledger died by his own hand, doesn't mean it's not TRAGIC.
Thousands of celebrities die before their time and most in disgrace, but when it comes down
to it... it's a bunch of soulless psychos pontificating and passing judgment on them.

I don't care what they do in their personal lives, I enjoy their ART. Difference.

I guess he was basically flame-baiting and deserved it.

What's sad is that people jumped on him emotionally and couldn't even stop to analyze it for a second. =(

Unless I'm reading what he said in his post completely wrong, wasn't he just assuming that all pedophiles are old men that touch young boys(something that the media always portrays pedophiles as) therefore making the connection that pedophiles have to also therefore be homosexual since they go after those of the same sex.

I'm probably just reading it wrong...
 
[Updated at 3:15 p.m.: Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead by doctors this afternoon after arriving at a hospital in a deep coma, city and law enforcement sources told The Times.
