Oh Dear, Michael Jackson Praised Hitler!

Oh Dear, Michael Jackson Praised Hitler!: "

There is a book coming out called The Michael Jackson Tapes, and it looks set to send a few jaws hurtling towards the floor, then shattering, whilst eyes pop out on stalks, then go back in again. Kind of like in cartoons. Because, in the book, the crazy melty-clownface, during an interview with a learned Oxford University rabbi, thought he’d explain his admiration for Adolf Hitler, list a few women he could probably have done it with had he felt like it, and, at one point, he thought it would be wise to give a pair of child murderers a great big hug.

Oh dear, Michael. Oh dear.

It was all going so well, with the new single coming out, then the film of the build up to his big comeback tour. But now, it looks like a big turd is about to be smudged on the Jackson memories.

Talking to Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, Jackson declared:

“Hitler was a genius orator. To make that many people turn and change and hate, he had to be a showman.”

In the very same interview – conducted about eight years ago, with view to being aired/publicised – Jackson also talked about women, claiming that Cindy Crawford had flirted pretty heavily with him, he would possibly have considered going out with Liz Taylor, but didn’t want the whole world to look at them with arched eyebrows, calling them an “odd couple”. And he seemed convinced that Madonna was totally in love with him, but unfortunately, she wasn’t to Jacko’s tastes:

“She is not sexy at all”

He would, he insisted, have rather dated Princess Diana, but he never had the guts to ask her out.In another strange segment of proceedings – featured in the Daily Mail Online – the King of Pop referred to the Jamie Bulger killers, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, seemingly convinced that the pair of them just needed a good cuddle.

“I bet if you trace their life you can find they didn’t have parents around, didn’t have any love, nobody there to hold them, look in their eyes and say I love you. They deserve that, even though they’re going to get life. I want to say I love you and hold them.”

As posthumous interviews go, this one looks set to further split the consensus regarding the King of Pop, who, really, in hindsight, should have probably turned down any interview opportunities that came his way. It never seemed to go particularly swimmingly.
