I'm suddenly picturing photos of famous people becoming fainter and fainter over time as they lose more and more of their souls. Hmmm. Maybe that's the problem with Michael Jackson.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

But who is he a photo of?

I've never seen him in person. The assumption is that in real life he might actually look something approximating normal. But I see now that this may be way too much of an assumption. Even soul-eating cameras couldn't make that much of a change without some help from "highly-skilled" and equally unethical surgical professionals.
Edited to add that no offense was meant to the highly-skilled, ethical plastic surgeons on the list. I just don't think that any ethical plastic surgeon would agree to do that amount of elective surgery. Stopping now to avoid swerving too wildly off topic.

Actually, I've feeling a wee bit peckish...
I don't think that this can be right. For instance, I have seen photographs of Donald Rumsfeld.
Man... just when I thought I could go to a place where snide political comments were secondary to comity.

Don't you mean, comedy?

No, comity.
Comity -def. "a state or atmosphere of harmony or mutual civility and respect"

Huh. New word.
Usually, everything comes second to the opportunity to make a joke, cheap or otherwise, around here.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

If you paid me 14 bucks and a pack of Marlboro's to do so, I'd tear your nose off with a plier and replace it with Silly Putty. I imagine someone was paid a great deal of money to destroy Jackson's face.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
