Hello, stranger.

Mung? What the hell does that mean?

Trust me, you don't wanna know.

Well lets just keep in mind that MJ kinda created his own race, considering black ppl dont really claim him anymore and white ppl dont claim him either, and i dont think any race ever will...just think about it

Prince isn't in a permanent state of childhood and is quite real about the world. He knows how people think of him.

Hmmm..I don't think you can even compare the two. Prince actually is not all that werid really. When I see him in interviews he actually seems articulate and intelligent. Sure he is very strong in his belifes and spirtuality but that necessarily isn't all that werid to me. Now Michael definatly is werid anyone who would do all that to their skin, face,ect . is VERY far gone.

I think MJ is strange but in his defense... Bubbles was cute!!! Now, buying the Elephant Mans bones was just crazyness and call me strange but, I'd use a hyperbaric chamber if I could afford it. They use them on burn victims, its very good for the skin. And severe cases of vitiligo CAN look like that. Look at this guy. And the disease can progress meaning that it is possible for a person to lose ALL of their pigment, I've seen documented instances of this.

In all of other examples I've seen of people with vitiligo, though, it has occurred more gradually than it seemed to with Michael. If I remember correctly, he was only out of the public eye for a matter of months before he came back as devoid of pigment as he is now! I understand that the process can be rushed along with some kind of injections or whatever, but usually you see the splotches like your pictures show before the complete change. Wouldn't you agree? Do you really think he started out with a simple case of vitiligo or that he went directly to the injections to change his skin color?

There don't exist cases of Vitiligo in which one's skin is so uniformly discolored. All his exposed skin looked exactly the same through all the stages of his "condition", from the sorta light stage during Bad through the completely white staged that shocked everyone at my dinner table when the Black & White video(lol) came on ET for the first time. Whatever condition he has, it's unique to him.

From what I understand, he'd had vitiligo for a long time before anyone (the public) had any idea as to what was going on. It was stated that he first began getting splotches on his hand which was the reason for the one glove thing back in the early 80's. When Bad came out (a few years after Thriller) he was a lighter brown. It wasn't until he came out again with Dangerous in the early 90's (about 10 years after Thriller) that his pigment was totally gone.

I can't speak on his treatment or say for a fact that he actually does have vitiligo. In my first post, all I was saying was that a person WITH color can get vitiligo and turn completely white, which apparently you already knew.

If he does have it, I don't think that you can comment on his course of action or as to how severe it was or wasn't in it's early stages. Unless you're there seeing him WITHOUT his MAKEUP how can any of us know. It's all just speculation.

I'm just choosing to give him the benefit of the doubt. There are many things about him and his actions that are strange to me. I don't think that he "bleached" his skin although that seems to be the popular opinion however, without facts, opinions are all any of us are left with.

I did a little research and found a few answers to the vitiligo questions in general. The second Q & A can probably explain the reason for the different shades he went through before he reached his current color.

Q. Will the Depigmented Patches Spread?

A. There is no way to predict if vitiligo will spread. For some people, the depigmented patches do not spread. The disorder is usually progressive, however, and over time the white patches will spread to other areas of the body. For some people, vitiligo spreads slowly, over many years. For other people, spreading occurs rapidly. Some people have reported additional depigmentation following periods of physical or emotional stress.

Q. What Treatment Options Are Available?
A. Depigmentation is a treatment that involves fading the rest of the skin on the body to match the already white areas. For people who have vitiligo on more than 50 percent of their bodies, depigmentation may be the best treatment option. Patients apply the drug monobenzylether of hydroquinone (monobenzone or Benoquin*) twice a day to pigmented areas until they match the already depigmented areas.

F you for asking

The other day I was sitting in my back yard pondering the same question over a bottle of tree sap I was drinking because my uncle said it would get me high. Anyway, it occoured to me that Prince was never in a video game as Bad N' Rad as the Sega Genesis masterpiece Moonwalker where he transforms into a robot, and then a space car. This act of sheer insanity trumps even MJ's likely pedophila as the strangest thing either him or Prince have ever done, and as such will make him the champion of this debate for all of eternity.

I think Prince should make his own video game and sell it on the NPG Music Club. It would be exactly like Dig Dug, but starring Prince. He would dig into the deepest depths of the earth with naught but a massive headbutt, and blow up adorable subterranian creatures with the soundwaves of his guitar. Man, I would play that until my eyes exploded!

That poor guy...He looks like something out of Night of the Living Dead.

Shave my nose down to nothing. Oh, and I have vitiligo too - how convenient!

Thanks, VanitySixx for that info.

I always played Moonwalker in the arcade, but didn't know it was on Sega. But that game was based on the movie Moonwalker, which was just a long music video for Smooth Criminal and other songs on Bad(guess after watching this, Prince decided to make his next CD into a movie as well) featuring Joe Pesci and a lot of ugly tarantulas. He turned into the robot at the end and then a space shit. But none of that was as strange as Captain Eo at Disney Land.

But MJ never fucked his sister(s) as far as we know. At least he didn't sing about it.

doctamario said:

MJ would never have the balls to take chances with his music like Prince

and at the end of the day which is worse: fucking your lovely sister or fucking 12 year old boys???

I hope you are talking about the interview that Oprah did with P & Mayte...
I hope I have not missed a NEW one!!!
I have emailed Oprah's ppl to ask her to do another interview.
Please tell me I have not missed it!!!!!

shanti0608 said:

you haven't missed a thing.

Prince is definitely more strange.

He's had more plastic surgery for starters
He lives with four goats and a very large sprout of broccoli
Not only that but the other day I saw him in a chip shop in Lincolnshire and he didn't even ask for any salt or a chip fork. Dammmm!

Case closed - wacko princeo

If I could only be that strange, shit, both those guys are fucking dope.

hmm, the injection thing is quite interesting. thanx 4 sharing with us. i've never heard about the depigmentation treatment before, but it is a known fact that mj has to go to his doctors every so often to have injections into his scalp. he said it was for the pepsi burn accident back in the 80's and it still affects him now, but could it really be for depigmentation to his face? i've always believed he has vitiligo. he gets very embarrassed talking about it and he states he has it and that's that and doesn't try to defend it so much like he does with plasti surgery etc.

And Madonna!

And together they are the (un)holy 80's icons!!!
