Bizzaro Boy Conversion

Just when I think that freak of nature Michael Jackson can't get any weirder, he outdoes himself.

Michael Jackson last night became a member of the Nation of Islam - and sources told The Post his religious changeover comes along with a shake-up of his personal staff.

High-ranking members of the Nation of Islam have been working to bring Jackson into Rev. Louis Farrakhan's flock - and Jackson's conversion is now well-known in the NOI community.

The Gloved One and Louis Farrakhan...now there's a match for you.

I have often joked that my idea of hell would be a neverending roller coaster ride (afraid of heights) sandwiched between Richard Simmons and Kathie Lee Gifford.

Given this revoltin' new development, I may have to alter that scenario.

*shudder*

Eternal Youth, please be more considerate & do not reproduce an entire freaking article in the comments. A link will suffice, thanks.

Furthermore, neither I nor anyone else mentioned guilt or innocence over Mr. Jackson's upcoming charges....just that I found his "conversion" to Islam rather bizarre, even for him.

And I do.

Aaron, your link is updated. Nice photoshopping.

Heh.

I think Laurence at Amish Tech Support said it most succinctly.

Yep. I was thinking something similar, but then realized that was really an Arab thing, not necessarily Muslim....you know, there's no shame in pitching, just catching.

Thank God! It could have been worse - he could have decided to become Catholic.

Following the money, Rita. They're willing to sponsor him and pay his defense.

I mean, the poor boy had to open Neverland months ago for private parties to help pay for his lavish lifestyle. Taking on a new faith so that he can pay for his attorneys shouldn't come as that much of a shock to anyone.
