CULTURE: No More Neverland

Appears that Michael Jackson's palace of exploitation has now been officially closed down:

MARCH 9--Citing Michael Jackson's failure to cover his employees with required insurance, California state labor officials today effectively closed the singer's Neverland Ranch and fined him $69,000, The Smoking Gun has learned. Investigators with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement arrived at the sprawling Los Olivos estate this morning and served the below work stoppage order on a security guard. Additionally, in a March 7 letter, the state apprised Jackson that more than 30 workers have filed unpaid wage claims against him and that he owes those employees more than $300,000, as well as penalties in excess of $100,000. The state's demand letter contends that Jackson has been welshing on his employees since last December.

According to Defamer, since being acquitted on child molestation charges last year, Jackson has been hiding out in Bahrain. Ironic considering it's perhaps one of the only places left in the world where "They Don't Care About Us" might still get prominent play.

Could MJ get any weirder?

Please refrain from answering.

So you're saying that you would let your son sleep with Michael Jackson?

I'm surprised that the quoted source material has an ethnic derogation like "welshing." TheSmokingGun must not be hosted in Wales.

No, Neverland is from Peter Pan, Never Neverland was made up by people who don't realize there's only one Never.

Haha, I like the picture. Well I'm just going by the book I own. I figured the book would be right.

I never comment on anything, and when I do, I manage to make an ass of myself.
