Nice post One guy made a crack about it and you go getting your manties in a knot over it? Blah blah, go slip a valium under your tongue and chill out telling people to stfu just because they don't know/love your mate Jacko.

Or better yet why don't you harness all of that negative energy go keep a candle-lit vigil outside the court room?

 

I agree that ignorance is dangerous and I personally am not a fan of the media. I base my belief of his guilt not on ignorance, but professional knowledge about the dynamics of sexual abuse. Sorry you're all riled up about this, but I don't think it's necessary to tell people to stfu.

 

media: jacko rhymes with wacko, call him wacko jacko

 

Yes, the news anchor kept trying to get someone to say "Jacko is Wacko", but they wouldn't say it. It was funny.

 

Apparently it's a British press thing...this based entirely on my reading F1 Racing magazine. In there, the writers are always assigning contracted names to everyone. For example, Mark Webber is "Webbo", Giancarlo Fisichella is "Fisi", etc.

Just one of those idiosyncratic things our friends across the pond do, I guess, and in this case it caught on over here as well.
