My family and I would like to send our prayers and heartfelt sympathy to the families, friends and loved ones of those who recently perished from the horrific earthquake and tsunami, which swept through Indonesia, Asia, India, Somalia and other countries.

Our love is also being sent to those who have miraculously survived this tragedy and to those who are so courageously on-site, helping to spearhead the relief efforts. We pray for your strength, your safety and the success of your life-saving missions of love.

Words cannot adequately express the shock, horror and grief we’ve felt, while watching news reports which have captured the massive devastation and despair. It has been especially painful for me, as I have visited these areas many times and I remember the love, kindness and warmth of the people I met there.

I would like to encourage all of my friends, and fans, to contribute to agencies and organizations assisting in these efforts. In times like these, we need each other... we must bond together in spirit and in service.

God Bless.

Sincerely,

Michael Jackson

MJ wants to bond...

You would have thought SOMEONE would have told him Asia is not a country.....

Just wait for Mariah's "But What About The Butterflies!" charity campaign.

I'm waiting for Angelina Jolie to announce shes going to adopt the entire child population of Thailand.

SquirrelMeat said:

" P.S. I have plenty of room at my house for all the orphaned children. Hugs, Michael."

Nice sentiment and all, but....


anyone besides me notice that Michael has a habit of unnecessarily using big words?

meow85 said:

Well, this is the same Michael that was "particularly upset at the handling of this mass 'matter' by the incredible, terrible mass media." (You meanies!)

Besides, that, though, Awww...shucks, what a nice sentiment..."

meow85 said:

I didn't notice, even after re-reading it

Oh, & I'm sure he means it & all (& it's nice to give kudos to relief workers) but this is clearly for "I'm not a monster, really!" brownie points

Everyone is devastated by this... well, most normal human beings who aren't busy ripping people off & molesting the orphans there (can you believe that shit??!!) ... but do we REALLY need a statement from the Jackson family on everything that happens? NOT, just donate privately & move on...

SquirrelMeat said:

How pathetic ru? read the statement it also mentions india is that not a country - besides he probably didnt even write this - if ure so savy to showbiz as u ppl make out u'd of probably worked that one out - fool ....

kremlinshadow said:

Take your head out of your asre Jacko Love Boy. Another wacko fan blaming everybody but the producer of the error.

If he wants to put a statement out in his name, regardless of who wrote it, he should at least check if its right.

Were you on that Wacko For Jacko programme on Channel 4?

SquirrelMeat said:

I don't know about that but it's the same genius who came up with the ultra-lame Madonna nickname - "Madogga". DavidEye & I had a huge laugh over that one.

CalhounSq said:

Well, in general then. Michael (or his scriptwriters. whatever. ) tends to use a lot of words that don't need to be in the sentence.

How about coughing up some $$$ MJ - statements about your heartfelt sympathy won't put food in anyones mouth. I would have thought his response to the tragedy would have been to write a song - thats his usual method of "helping". He can get his porno director friend to direct the video.

VoicesCarry said:

Remembered it tho didnt ya LOL - I thought Voices me n u were cool wiv each other now & u know im not some blind jackson supporter ....

SquirrelMeat said:

not un-needed in your case - Im not a blind supporter infact am bored shitless of being a supporter just now Im more interested in new music than the case - but you act like a 5 year old pick pick picking on everything Jackson - ure opinions known so why keep going on ??? and u ruin threads with ure boring lame excuses of humour .... (btw I flamed all them idiots on that ch4 doc on the mj board - we dont all agree wiv everything those types get up2!!)

kremlinshadow said:

Sorry dude, I probably went overboard! I think you have me mistaken for someone else! I'm a fairly big MJ fan. I've been positive and negative about some of his goings on, nut most of th time, I've never posted on MJ threads because of the obsessives, even here on the org.

I'm still going to slag the guy off when he makes stupid, ill concieved statements, just to try and look good.

Same goes for Prince.

DavidEye said:

DavidEye go hang off Madogga's haemeroids & suck harder coz when it comes to fanaticals ure one of the worst!!

SquirrelMeat said:

I know MJ is an adiot at times & same goes for the rest - but it was just the nit-picking thats got me - now, I cant be arsed with all this court case stuff same as when Prince tried to involve us with the "slave" thing - just seems these days out has gone intellectual discussions & on with kicking a man when he's down - know what i mean!!

kremlinshadow said:

Squirrelmeat was only pointing out that MJ is a greographically ignorant motherfucker, that's all.

Squirrel's actually being fairly moderate - I was expecting him to write the first thing that came into my mind when I read El Freako's statement:

Publicity stunt addressed to the twelve members of the jury who'll be trying to work out whether the molten waxwork in front of them is guilty of plying little boys with booze and abusing them.

I'm not saying he doesn't care about the victims, but the whole thing reeks the same way that recent kiddie's Christmas party at Neverland did - good image PR.

Shapeshifter said:

maybe so - maybe not - but unless prospective members of the jury sit reading his official site which is aimed at fans and such - I doubt many people would of even seen the statement .... besides squirelmeat has already explained themselves - no need for you to on their behalf

kremlinshadow said:

You know, fans aren't the only people who visit his open to the general public website. The media go there too - more so now, given that his trial is on the verge of starting. He put that statement on there in the hope that the media will pick up on it and spread it, so that it will reach the hearts and minds of the people who will ultimately decide if he gets to share a cell with someone who calls him "Latoya" in bed.

Shapeshifter said:

bait me all u like wont work , my 'fandom' isn't affected by the opinions of ppl on message boards - I come to my own conclusions!! (poor is the fan who's fandom depends on the permission of another )



valid points follwed by drivel
