Nice choice of role models

L.A. Youth Group to Hold Vigil for Michael Jackson

The biennial convention of the International Association for People with Too God***n Much Time on Their Hands included a candlelight vigil for the Gloved One. Why this sort of demonstration was considered necessary is beyond me.

Some 200 teens will participate in the vigil at Jackson's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, hoping to inspire people around the world to pray for the onetime "King of Pop" amid revelations that he sleeps with young boys, said Alex Poe, director of Right Way Youth Activities Inc.

"We are convinced that he is on the verge of suicide right now," Poe said. "After watching this documentary and looking at the situation ... the kids themselves encouraged me. They said: 'Mr. Poe, the only thing we can do is pray."'

Right; pray that Jacko will suddenly become yesterday's news and that no one will care about his latest expression of unvarnished wierdness. If anyone has ever deserved to recede into the dark corners of entertainment history, it is Michael Jackson. Good riddance....
