Perhaps the bigger question is what's going on in the entertainment industry where pieces of scum think their shitty behaviour is acceptable? They're put on a pedestal for the wrong reasons, and when you start going down this rabbit hole of "why do showbiz people get paid so much" the broader question becomes what is wrong with our species.

In short I find it very hard to still enjoy the art of people who have been convicted of sex crimes, very rarely can I look past their indiscretions no matter how good what they've produced is.

PS: I'd never heard of Jimmy Saville until all the stuff about his pedo activities came out, but if you needed hard evidence to recognise that the guy was some kind of deviant without just looking at him then something ain't right.
 
While there are a lot of red flags around Michael Jackson and a lot of accusations there's nothing yet to actually be proven in a court of law. Until then he get's a conditional pass mark with an asterisk. If/when the accusations get proved against him then expect a rapid change of stance on him.

Rolf on the other hand got convicted of his crimes and got sentenced to jail time on 12 different charges.

Innocent until proven guilty, but if you are guilty don't expect much sympathy.

I don’t think that can ever happen now. Difficult to say something’s been categorically proved against him when he’s not around to defend the accusations.

That didn't stop them going after Saville when he died.

If Jackson has done it, then they should go after him and some sort of compensation paid to the victims from his estate.

Ohhh, so someone doesn't think we'll ever have a machine that can look into the past ala the major motion picture Deja Vu, hey? OK, you do that. The rest of us will be here in the real world, waiting for our hoverbikes and teleporters.

I’m still waiting for them to eliminate all lawyers, according to Doc Brown it was supposed to have happened by 2015.
 
I was looking at all the very 60s clothing currently in fashion the other day and thought of all the scifi from the 60s set in what is now the present, where they all wore 'futuristic' clothes. It would have been more accurate if they hadn't bothered with those.

Well Jimmy Savile also never had anything proven against him in a court of law, but he is universally regarded as a monster nowadays.

Not saying MJ is in the same league (nowhere near it even if only 10% of accusations against Savile are true) but I don't fault those that find it difficult to still listen to MJ.
 
I can't say that I'm terribly familiar with those examples so I'll use one of my own. Michael Jackson was an excellent entertainer but a dodgy character. Can you listen to his music today? Some will be able to, some won't. I can't imagine too many people would have left their kids with him though.

Savile, a British TV entertainer, was alleged to have perpetrated literally hundreds of sex crimes against children. Ian Watkins, former lead singer of the band lostprophets, sexually assaulted infants - found guilty and doing life behind bars I believe.

Yikes
 
Hopefully someone tops glitter next, a small piece of lead in the back of the head for anyone found guilty IMO.
Get them out of the gene pool.
I started watching a Loui Theroux doco years ago on a prison in the US that is solely for pedos, couldn't finish it.
 
People can have their own opinions.

Was he a great entertainer yep…


Was he a dodgy bloke. Obviously…

One doesn’t erase the other.

Anyway another great entertainer of our time had his say…



Non the mentioned above are acknowledging thats he is a shit.

While agree you can distinguish an art feom the artists, it’s very hard when it’s something as horrific as what Rolf did

Heading down Friday arv for a weekend of beers and watching my team's pants get pulled down

Lovely.

How much longer do you plan on staying up there? People like shitting on Gero but I really like what they've done with the foreshore and the Anzac memorial really is beautiful.

I'll be up here for a couple of years. I had never visited before moving so was expecting it to live up to its 'shithole town' reputation but it's not been too bad so far - foreshore is good, couple of decent bars around and I'm playing ammos too so it's fun times.

Probably couldn't live here long term though.
 
I can understand his curiosity but why the **** would you want to eat something thats been rightfully named as a bin chicken?

Initially he was catching it to hang its dead carcass in his yard to ward off other ibis.
