Time to contain the crazy

From Sky News:

The man behind the world's biggest online Michael Jackson fan club has said heartbroken followers of the star have committed suicide because of his death. Gary Taylor, president and owner of MJJcommunity.com, said he understood the tragedies had mostly taken place outside of the UK but he believed one may have been British. "I know there has been an increase, I now believe the figure is 12. I believe there may have been one Briton who has taken their life," he said. "It is a serious situation that these people are going through but Michael Jackson would never want this. He would want them to live." Jesse Jackson, a friend of the singer, has recorded a YouTube film on the site urging fans not to "self destruct".

The Sun reports that, "... a Jackson lookalike in Russia cut his wrists after the star's death was announced ... Russian fan Pável Talaláyev was found bleeding heavily at his home in Moscow just hours after it was announced that Jackson had died. But an ambulance crew found him in time on Friday and managed to save his life. One of the ambulance men said: "He was in a terrible state and kept on saying: 'It's all the same to me. I'm going to kill myself. It's the worst tragedy of my life and I don't want to live any more. I don't know why you saved my life, I want to be with him'."

So the guy who became a pop star,and in time decided to transform himself in every possible way, into peter pan. and not just the idea of peter pan but the actual illustration/cartoon version,which through surgery resulted in without question,the most morbid and awful self mutilation ever displayed by a public figure, has followers whose lives are predicated on the deification of this person,that they have actually killed themselves......now if aliens were studying us right now...

As Peter Pan once said, "I can fly, I can fly -- coach."
