I don't understand why you would knowingly post and want to 'review' an openly fictitious article.
Sorry, but we might as well discuss tabloids! If we don't know the hazards, intentions, motivation of media such as this by now, then we really haven't been paying attention. I have to say I feel slightly offended that you say I need to think out of the box. I'll admit to not knowing anything about this particular satirical site, but I know enough about others I have come across to know they are not something I wish to spend my time on.
I understand the satire in this, but we shouldn’t let it affect us in any way. I can see their point of view in all of this, though.When we take a step back from what we’re doing here, from our beliefs, from the entire hoax community...we’ll see that WE created all of this simply based off of our own hunches. Let’s be honest, when has there ever been hard evidence that MJ is alive? The only way for us to know is for MJ himself to appear and tell the world that he’s still here. But, it’s been five years and no MJ….yet, we’re still here. Waiting. Believing. So, I understand how absurd this may seem to non-believers. To them we’re just a few steps away from becoming a cult or even our own religion. You don’t know how many times I go into my car and the first song I hear on the radio is Michael Jackson and I would take this as a ‘sign.’ I live in the LA-area now and drive past Forest Lawn everyday to work. There are many times I’ve considered getting a job there just to get proof that his crypt is empty. And one time, I drove out to the Barnes and Nobles in Calabasas to read books all day and hoping that MJ would be there in disguise. Because he loves books, am I right? It makes sense to me that he would probably stop in there. Go ahead - it’s okay to laugh at me. But, I also have moments where I ask myself why I do these things? What’s the purpose? Why do I believe in this? Would I be mad at myself if he really is dead? Would I feel guilty for believing he’s alive? Am I wasting all these years believing? I tell myself no.Because, suppose we all believe him to be dead, I feel I would still go through these same experiences except for a different purpose. His songs would be a ‘sign’ that his spirit still lives; Forest Lawn would be sacred grounds, so of course I would try to get a job there; and, I would still go into Barnes and Nobles in remembrance of him and his love of books (but, also because I love reading).And I think our community will still exist but perhaps with a different mission. Our love for Michael is so strong; this is what actually bonds us all together. That’s the real reason why we check back into the forum every day. It’s not about finding a new ‘clue’ or analyzing a picture or video. It’s about MJ…and our love for him. And, honestly, I think the tabloids would STILL mock us just because we are so devoted. So, I don’t care what the tabloids think of us. Michael endured this type of thing throughout his entire life. And now that he’s not here, they’re going after his children, his family, and now his fans. But, no matter what happens the next 5…10…20 years, etc….our love for Michael will never die.
