A Michael Jackson Is Best Measured When It Is Down

by Balk posted @3:30 PM

It looks more like Tito to meA family in Stockton, CA, claims the image of Michael Jackson made itself manifest on their tree stump on the day of his death. "'Michael Jackson was an icon to us,' said one neighbor. 'To Stockton, Michael Jackson meant more to us than Jesus, to some people. I think they're both about even.'" MSNBC talking head/Awl photojournalism correspondent Ana Marie Cox, who was scheduled to appear on the tree prior to Jackson's passing, had no comment.

    That's not Michael. It's Twiggy.

    Doesn't the instantaneous "Or Ed McMahon?" response from TWO of the subjects to the cathechetical, "Why not Jesus?" posit a hagiography that, in the Apocalypse, we may already be a winner?

    Oh goody, another reason to hate on Stockton, besides all the Clampers, migrant farm-workers and Pavement enthusiasts there. It's like Modesto, but more inbred.
