Jackson living in Bahrain - forgets to tell employees

"It is public knowledge that Mr. Jackson currently resides in the Middle Eastern country of Bahrain," Jackson spokeswoman Raymone K. Bain said late Thursday in a statement. "He therefore decided to close his house and reduce his work force." [Yahoo News]

Clearly someone forgot to tell the State of California or the employees of the Neverland ranch this public knowledge. Michael Jackson has clearly become a joke. Not only in music, but as a representative of the human race. Perhaps he will fare better in an Islamic state where they tend to cut things off for transgressions, rather than find you innocent.
