I hate traffic lights. Luckily, I only have two between me and the freeway (one, if I'm going south). Hell, only four traffic lights between me and the day job, despite the 35 miles.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

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

Lord knows if I were famous I'd try not to have my children's images all over the place.
I see what you're saying, but one obvious way to avoid that would be ... not letting a camera crew film your life for several weeks. (Or however long Bashir hung around Neverland, I really have no idea.) The masks in public are not a horrible idea given privacy concerns -- though other celebrities seem to manage that without veiling their children -- but I don't see how hair dye would tie in. Seems like it would be easier to just keep the kids off-camera.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My friend cathy sent me this:
Bill O'Reilly cited the non-existant "Paris Business Review" to bolster his statement that the supposed American boycott of French products had a severe impact (in the reality based community where facts exist, however, business with France was actually up last year) but now there is a website: >[link]

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Okay, that Paris Business Review is funny. Funnier because it invokes accordions and the power of cheese.

Right. Among reality-based people, the perp walk does not end with dancing on top of a car for one's fans.
(And can I say, coincidentally, how happy I am that the phrase "perp walk" exists? It is almost as cool as "dirt nap".)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hey, I never said the guy was sane...

My parents (who are weird) tried to convince me that MJ's hosting kids at Neverland just recently was some sort of proof of his innocence. I couldn't convince them it was proof that he didn't know how to work a PR machine. I don't think claims of child abuse make for a good time for defiance.

Yeah. It was not the smartest PR move to state on-camera that he sleeps with children.
Showing up late for his first court appearance = not so smart either.

Well, it means at least some parents/guardians believe him. A friend of a friend's kids used to hang out at Neverland. Said FoF has never believed a word of the allegations.

No. It only means at least some parents/guardians are willing to let their kids spend time with him at Neverland. Anything else is reading into their motivation, and I don't think anyone posting here has that much insight into these individuals' mindset.
Also, even if it was true, it doesn't make him innocent. It doesn't even acquit him, if they're not on the jury. It's a meaningless act, which draws the eye, and I don't see how it can help his case.
But you and my parents may be more representative of the jury. We'll see.
