42 cows sacrificed so 25 of his worst enemies would die? Taking bloodbaths? He IS living in a fairy land (pun intended).
Best quote?
Vanity Fair reported that Jackson wears a page-boy wig and a prosthesis that serves as the tip of his nose. The magazine interviewed a source close to Jackson who said that, without the device Jackson resembles a mummy with two nostril holes.

<strong>What is he cursing them with? That their noses will fall of and their careers will go south?</strong><hr></blockquote>
He wanted a curse that would cause the people on his list of enemies to die...Spielberg was one.
He hates David Geffen, considering him a member of Hollywood's "gay mafia" and partly responsible for deep-sixing his career or whatever.
As if mediocre, lame music, oddball personal behavior and unsavory images of his sexual interests played no role whatsoever.

There was a time, a few years ago, when I thought "you know, nostalgia always runs in 20-year cycles and with the 80's kinda coming back in style some, I bet Michael Jackson will be set for a major comeback and will be on top again, appreciated for his talent and loved by millions...".
Uh...no.
After all that's happened, I honestly don't know how he could ever, EVER regain 1/10th of the fame, popularity, success, etc. he once enjoyed.
Just on a stylistic/musical front, times and interests have changed drastically and his stuff just doesn't cut it anymore. And any efforts he undertakes to "toughen up" or make himself more of a "cutting edge bad-ass" are, of course, simply hilarious.
Add to that his increasingly bizarre behavior on...well, almost every level.
And if I put my cynical, "serves him right" notions in the background and look at it objectively, it's actually quite sad and tragic because, at one time, the man could do no wrong and ruled the entertainment world. He could've done so many things differently and still occupy a position of respect and artistic greatness (maybe like Prince, who, like Jackson, is not the mega-star he was 15-20 years ago, BUT is still widely considered a creative force and a musical innovator and a true "artist").
Instead, Jackson has degenerated into a sad, sad joke...punchlines for late-night TV hosts and so forth.
I honestly can't imagine anything he could do or say or release at this point that could undo all these years of grossing/freaking everyone out.
