Now I have even MORE questions! ARRRRGHHH

Oh, but when you call me a loser and a joke, that's you winning an argument, right?

Look, here's all the answer you'll ever need — please read carefully:

Yes, Michael Jackson's actions in the 90s and 00s were probably at least in part informed by the fact that he was a black man his entire life.

You seem really worked up about this.

American history is a lot of reasons.

My brother and I were at the Seahawks game where they unveiled Boom, and yeah, it was perplexing. A lot of unanswered questions there…how far in the future did Blitz go, and how long was he there? Is Boom his son from the future, and if so, is his existence imperilled by bringing him back? Or maybe Blitz went to the

I'm calling you out for using the term "alleged" over and over to describe a skin condition that Michael Jackson did, in fact, have. I think you use the term "alleged" over and over because you believe it somehow delegitimizes Jackson himself. Yes, this is a separate complaint from your inability to understand the

Well, if you think of a person as being defined completely by how they look, and their character starts and stops with their appearance, then yeah, that's totally reasonable. If, on the other hand, you consider Michael Jackson to be a black American, and thus someone who was part of a very specific culture and

I mean…I don't know how much it matters but based on what you're writing, it seems that you're really confused by the whole thing.

It's not your fault, MJ didn't have enough albums to sustain this thread.

Even if MJ didn't look like what we think a typical black man looks like, he was a black man. Having a white man portray a black man is inherently problematic for a lot of reasons. And, with around the same amount of makeup as they used for Fiennes, you could turn a more typical-looking black actor into MJ.

To be clear, those of us who are disinclined to believe Jackson abused children describe Jackson's arrested development in part to explain what we see as a heightened empathy for children, that we think explains why he frequently had sleepovers with terminally ill kids. When I think about Jackson and kids, I think

For the record, and not that it matters, but I think it's extremely unlikely that Jackson died a virgin. His bodyguards wrote about top-secret dalliances with beautiful women; he was a superstar almost his entire life, so if he had any inclination towards sex at any age, he would have had no trouble finding a willing

You don't have to say "alleged" — Michael Jackson had vitiligo. Known fact.

I have a 3-months-late correction for you, Zack! (What can I say, there's a lot of good TV on right now.)

$500 though…eep

With Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver appearing in Avengers movies, I'm not confident I could make any assumptions about Marvel movie rights

Make the incest formal and you've got yourself a picture

What are these — Googas!!?! That's what we're calling them right?
