Never In The History Of Man…
…has so much money purchased so little in return:
Smiling and waving to screaming fans, Michael Jackson arrived in Japan on Sunday for his second visit in recent years to host an exclusive party where admirers pay $3,500 to spend 30 seconds with the pop icon.
A relaxed-looking Jackson in trademark sun glasses and black leather jacket was ushered by guards past hundreds of screaming Japanese fans at Narita Airport on Sunday afternoon, some carrying signs that read “We love Michael” and “Welcome to Japan.”
At the VIP party, guests will get to mingle with Jackson, spending 30 seconds to one minute each of exclusive face time with him, according to organizers.
Note to these fans: for $5,000 a minute, I will allow you to blow kisses to an image of your money burning…holy cow, but that’s stupid!…

Further evidence, as if any were needed, that the Japanese are a strange bunch. When your culture produces both haiku and pornographic anime, there’s some strange friction going on.
As good a time as any to recall the words made famous by Thomas Tusser:
“A fool and his money are soon parted.”
More weird then the Wacko Jacko Man
the VIP Party Japanese have sponsored him again
They healed his world, their but was his,
was it that good, is there something I miss ?
This man of plastic, the King of Pop,
a walking matchstick, this is a Flop !
