This is not good at all. This is some 1984 and Farenheit 451 scary shit going on.
It's a cartoon for fucks sake

I'm pretty thankful right now that Sonic 3 never officially traded on MJ's name.

Super Size me still has Jarred talking to a 14 year old girl and he was convicted.There's s a bit of a difference in context.
The movie wasn't a cartoon. Naked Gun isn't still in the public spotlight. Nordberg wasn't portrayed as doing the same kind of criminal actions that O.J. Simpson was guilty of in real life. Nordberg wasn't deified, called out by his actor's name and spent the brunt of those movies as a clown on the receiving end of physical comedy.
So it's not quite the same thing.
And, if Naked Gun's producers requested that the movies not be shown again, that would have still been fine.
Still the dumbest take in the thread.This is not good at all. This is some 1984 and Farenheit 451 scary shit going on.
What bearing does this have on whether the creators of the Simpson's feel comfortable airing work of theirs featuring MJ?Super Size me still has Jarred talking to a 14 year old girl and he was convicted.
Yes, but Morgan Spurlock is a known piece of shit himself, so that type of thing probably doesn't even register on his moral radar (if he even has one).Super Size me still has Jarred talking to a 14 year old girl and he was convicted.
Oh really? I missed something thereYes, but Morgan Spurlock is a known piece of shit himself, so that type of thing probably doesn't even register on his moral radar (if he even has one).
Read the post I was replying to.What bearing does this have on whether the creators of the Simpson's feel comfortable airing work of theirs featuring MJ?
"Other media features child abusers!"
So?
Yeh but you also mentioned it on your other, now-edited, post.Read the post I was replying to.
That said: OJ is not seen doing the things he was convicted of.
In super size me Jarred is shown interacting with a child of 14.
With regards to it being removed from streaming services, is that just talking about subscription services the likes of hulu or is it going to be pulled from iTunes and amazon as well? And if that is the case will that episode just disappear from peoples libraries that have actually purchased the season/episode?
Why are you getting so emotional and policing the thread??Yeh but you also mentioned it on your other, now-edited, post.
I don't understand the point your making, unless you're just shocked other media has these people in them and are still available?
I asked you a pretty vanilla question on clarifying the point you were making as I didn't get it.Why are you getting so emotional and policing the thread??
I thought I had quoted the post I quoted above and reading again I realised I had not.
Again, what are you on about lol, what does this have to do with the creators of things not feeling comfortable airing those things?If convicted people are not erased its just weird they do this over a doc on HBO now, when he was in court for years fo rthe same thing.
They shut if down over media, not over legal action.
Men in Black II and 13 going on 30 are banned now then also?
It read that way, apoligies if not.I asked you a pretty vanilla question on clarifying the point you were making as I didn't get it.
How is that getting 'so emotional' and policing the thread..?
Again, what are you on about lol, what does this have to do with the creators of things not feeling comfortable airing those things?
What does Men in Black II or 30 Going on 30 have to do with Matt Groening?
Yeah, it was a few years ago. https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/s...lock-admits-history-sexual-misconduct-n829581
Ok that rings a faint bell, jeez.Yeah, it was a few years ago. https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/s...lock-admits-history-sexual-misconduct-n829581
The start of what though, and what line?It read that way, apoligies if not.
Its Jackson in media, I am asking where it stops and what the line is.
If this is the start where does it end exactly, its a strong stance Gracy films have made here and wasn't it Brooks who made this choice not Matt?
I am not saying it is.The start of what though, and what line?
This is the creator of something deciding they don't feel comfortable airing the work they've created anymore because it features a child abuser.
This isn't some massive campaign on social media resulting in an episode being taken down, it's the person that made it not feeling comfortable with it any more.
Yes.. a precedent of "a creator who feels uncomfortable airing their work featuring a child abuser has the right to remove it".I am not saying it is.
I am saying this sets a precedence for others to follow and that social media may yet kick off the next jackson themed thing that turns up on TV.
Anyway I am walking away from this convo as you are obviously not getting that I am saying.
Groening has every right to renove the episode, just as Lucas had the right to add additional CGI to Star Wars, and Spielberg had every right to change the guns to walkie talkies in E.T.

wow how must it feel to be so wrongLet's be honest Michael Jackson's involvement with that game was a bad thing. It's allegedly a legal nightmare, and the music he did is abysmal
I have that 'Lisa, it's your birthday' song stuck in my head for decades
I was looking in the little booklet that comes with the season three box set, and it doesn't say Jackson was the guest on this episode at all, they say it's 'John Jay Smith' any reason for that?
Oh that's weird, considering on the commentary they admit its Jackson and talk about him coming into the studio to record. Thanks.The record company wouldn't give permission for MJ to do it, so they pretended to hire an impersonator as cover, but really it was the real MJ all along, he just wasn't credited. The ruse was so good that there were still people on GAF adamant it wasn't MJ as recently as 5 years ago.
Have you heard the alternative track made for the PC version? Now THAT is bad.If you think the music in Carnival Night Zone is good or fitting, then I don't know what to tell you.
Wow, haven't seen the documentary, but it seems that it clearly changed Era's mind about MJ.
Last time, on the thread for the documentary's announcement, most people talked about how it has been "proved" that MJ aint a pedo, that this documentary would be bullshit, that it would just be saying the same things we already know, etc etc.
And now it seems that everyone has changed his mind.
I must watch this documentary.
Oh.. I see.
You're welcome to read the thread to see the viewpoints raised and the posts people were banned for.
Sure, I'm really interested. I'll watch it.You're welcome to read the thread to see the viewpoints raised and the posts people were banned for.
Either way I recommend you watch the documentary and following Oprah interview if you want insight into the current sentiment surrounding Michael Jackson.
Being legally "not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt" in a complex judicial system =/= cleared of being a pedophile.I haven't seen the doc, but I guess it's convincing seeing as everyone now is convinced Jackson was a pedophile, even though he was cleared in a court of law 20 years ago.
Better get the dvd while you can. Oh, and if Wade Robson wasnt a scam artist, these allegations would be easier to believe.
As if your post weren't biased enough your avatar seals it. I don't suspect you'll last long with posts like that.Better get the dvd while you can. Oh, and if Wade Robson wasnt a scam artist, these allegations would be easier to believe.
