Let the over-coverage begin …

Yet another reason why I’m glad I don’t have cable.

I really, really hope that if Michael Jackson molested this boy he gets the full smack of the law across his face. I want to see justice served, I honestly do.

What I don’t want to see is endless hours of nonstop Michael Jackson analysis and “breaking news” alerts on the 24-hour TV news monsters. Luckily, I’m not in direct viewing range of any of the TVs in the newsroom. But I will have to endure endless AP copy on the subject, and the never-failing dropoff in coverage of other news that always seems to happen when the media fixate on star-crusted crap.

One thing I will watch is an armed standoff, where a coked-up Jacko emerges from his compound armed to the teeth, bullets wrapped around his muscular frame, and pulls a Tony Montana, pumping lead into coppers and screaming “Say hello to my little friend!”

Oh, wait - that’s the statement that got him in trouble in the first place. My bad.
