Michael Jackson...can he get any weirder??

[The Lucky One]

Has anyone seen the footage they've been showing today on all the news networks of Michael Jackson dangling an infant, with a towel over it's face, from a balcony? I'm not sure of the circumstances, and neither are the networks, but what in the world was he doing?

Poor kid!!

Just checked it out online... I guess he *can* get weirder, he seems to have devoted his life to it or something.

XM, so what was he doing?..

I have no idea what he is doing - but given his upbringing - can't say he is a real sane dude - nor really a great dad type.
I hope he wasn't doing anything bad. I still have a fondness for him.
It was weird that there were all these fans outside of his window and he looked angry and like he was showing someone the baby and then going back in. Maybe annoyed at the noise outside? Couldn't get baby to sleep? Was that his son? Hmmmmm.....so many possibilities.

It was weird. Dh and I were saying that if it weren't a superstar, you'd have social services called in if you treated a baby like that. It was horrible.

I just read that he has "apologized" for dangling the baby out the window. Apparently he thought the crowd outside would like to see his new son, so he held the 9 month old over the balcony with a towel over his head. Super wierd if you ask me.

IMO, the baby appeared to be scared. You know, kind of flailing around and all. And Jacko thought it was funny. I just don't know what to make of him anymore.

After the baby dangling, he took his two older kids to the zoo to see the monkey exhibit and made them wear veils over their faces to "protect them from potential kidnappers." I'm sure that's a real concern, but for some reason the picture I saw of them just made me feel sad.

MB, I have *no idea* what he is doing. I have to wonder if *he* has any idea what he is doing.
