This seems to be turning into the perveted version of Jeff Foxworthy's you know you are a redneck if...

Some how, I'm thinking, I don't want to be famous for that.

So I'm flipping through the channels and I see the ghost like vistage we have come to know as Michael Jackson.

I stop, out of curiousty, and see what this freak of corporate pop has to say.

Seems ol Mickey there has gone bankrupt.

um......uh.......how???

I know he hasn't done much in the past decade or so, but how do you go from top grossing album ever to bankrupt?

The man even owns the rights to all the old Beatle's songs. Which was a serious bur in the side of Paul Mcartney when Michael out bid him when put up on auction back in the eighties.

Ok, so biggest pop star ever. Has the greatest selling album of all time. Owns the rights to one of the biggest bands in the last fifty years.

Sounds like he should be still sitting on a cash pile the size of Nebraska.

This is what my best guess would be. Mike didn't learn one key rule to having a shit load of money. When all you are doing is spending it, but not earning it, sooner or later it runs out.

Bad money management. Probably didn't bother investing his money and making it work for him.

So now, that pasty white black guy with a chimp named bubbles *now dead it seems*, child molestation past, and more plastic in his face then in Bill Gates wallet is gonna have to pray for a miracle.

He aparently has one last greatest hits album he has to crank out for Sony with four orginal songs before his contract is up. Here is the clencher to that. Seems he has been borrowing money on his thriller album, all his greatest hits, and even the Beatle's songs. Bringing his grand total bill to 200 million dollars owed Sony.

So what does this mean? The dumb shit just signed off any rights he had to all his hits AND the Beatle's hits. Has no rights to them, will get no royalty checks from them.

Not only that, but unless he manages to come up with some other money making scheme to get him the big bucks, he will be paying the interest of that 200 million dollars for the rest of his life.

It seems that his bankruptcy was long in coming. About a year ago he was given a loan so he could purchase a two million dollar watch he promised to buy from a jewelery store.

First off, you know you are going down the shit hole of bankruptcy if you have to take a loan out for a watch. And second off, how flamingly retarded is it for him to purchase a watch that costs two million fucking dollars when he is watching his finacies dwindle down so fast.

And two million dollars for a watch??

What the fuck does it do, come equiped with a recording studio and a freakin laser.

Jesus Michael, get a grip man!

And I don't mean on some poor, unsuspecting little boy's ass either.
