: Is it just me...
: Or is it Jacksons schtick to invite underpriveledged kids to his swank fantasy land of an estate....just to rub their noses in it....
: On that tram tour...alls he's saying is " I have this....I have that"
: as a young poor black kid stares increduously into space..."You have a water park?...................Damn!"
I think it makes him feel elation to have all those kids admire him....it's probably a feeling similar to if a grown man (say, yourself) had a hot night with Carmen Electra. He just happens to feel elation when it comes to impressing kids and being the one responsible for them saying, "Dayum, your place is the shizznat!".
The most cringeworthy moment for me (and it's hard to zero in on just one) was when his lil' buddy was holding hands with him. I don't know any twelve year old boys who would hold hands with a 44 yr. old man and cuddle. I think only the kind that would even consider that would ride the special bus to school. But, then again, I don't know any twelve year old boys. My friends are adults.....wacky, isn't it?
