Michael Jackson hosts huge childrens party (no joke)

LOS OLIVOS, California (AP) -- Christmas came early for some 200 children who got to play at Michael Jackson's amusement park and meet Santa Claus.

"I hope you have a wonderful day. Merry Christmas. I love you," the pop singer called out to the children Friday from the driveway of his estate.

Jackson, who faces trial next year on child molestation charges, appeared happy during the few minutes he spoke to the arriving throng.

One of the youngsters shouted, "We love you."

"I love you more," Jackson replied before putting an umbrella over his head and walking back toward his house.

Jackson spokeswoman Raymone K. Bain said the entertainer chose to make an unusual personal appearance as a surprise for the last group of children touring Neverland before the Christmas holidays.

Bain said there was no relationship between the event and Jackson's upcoming trial.

1. creepy

3. Exactly!

As a mother, I would never allow my son to attend that party or anything to do with Michael Jackson, who is one sick puppy. The only reason he's gotten away with it so far is due to the power that money and fame bring, which is truly sickening.

4. That whole "I love you more" thing should be a red flag to a caring

parent.


Actually, the mountains of evidence linking Michael to both paedophilia and bizarre behavior should be a red flag....
