The slam you hit Michael Jackson with is not funny. I will never EVER again buy a copy of your magazine (it was about four times a year I bought it before anyway) I also am going to tell everyone I know not to waste their money on your trash and I am going to write several negative articles on your magazine, one in a community column of a paper here in LA which I write for, the other in the paper of my college.
Whatever happen to the saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then, don't say it at all." Therefore, if you don't ahve anything nice to print why bother? Michael Jackson is THE GREATEST PERSONALITY to ever grace the face of this earth! We as humans are the lucky ones to be blessed by his presence. And obviously, your magazine, The Rolling Stone realizes this too because you know that anything printed about Michael whether good or bad WILL SELL! However, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Michael, His Team and His Fans will NO LONGER tolerate the type of journalism which oversteps its' boudaries making Mr. Jackson the target of malicious slander. HE IS 100% INNOCENT! You owe Mr. Jackson a public apology!
I have always viewed the Rolling Stone Magazine as a pioneer for all existing entertainment magazines. But today, I find myself extremely saddened and disappointed with your sudden change to defame the character of a person especially the World's Icon, Michael Jackson! Please restore my faith in your magazine and good journalism by taking the lead to focus on the accomplishments great artists and the valuable impact they make on the world as entertainers!
This "ad" is dispicable and shows what a low class, tasteless and irrelivent publication "Rolling Stone Magazine" really has become. The parties responsible should be nothing short of ashamed. You are absolutely disgusting.
This is blatantly disgusting and immoral. I would have expected more from a magazine such as Rolling Stone, but now that I see that they've resorted to childish, stupid, and overall OUTDATED material just to get some magazines sales tells me that RS is going down the toilet fast.
All of my respect for Rolling Stone is now obliterated. If I wanted to obtain trash I could just go to the city dump.
At least that's free.
I am so disgusted by this campaign. And i thought that Thr Rolling Stone magazine was by Michaels' side all the way.....DENG! When will people learn? HE WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY! HES' INNOCENT! JEEZ. By this campaign, this is certainly no way or respecting Mr. Jackson. Not only you are disrespecting Mr. Jackson, but also children that have been really molested. This certainly really not a laughing matter!! Im shocked on how Rolling Stone done this.
Michael Jackson is resilient and the Rolling Stone Magazine don't know who they are messing with. He will legally come down on you like a tone of Bricks!!
I'm shocked that Rolling Stone would do this to Michael Jackson and to be this insensitive to the children who HAVE been molested. Child molestation is no laughing matter. Oh and the pope one is JUST as sickening!
It is outragious that a magazine like Rolling Stone, who use to be very credible would stoop this low. They may have thought they were disrespecting Michael, but they are abusing all the children that have been REALLY molested. Molestation is a joke and the likes of Rolling Stone and comedians find it a laughing matter. IT ISN'T! They are the criminals. Michael Jackson was found innocent with 14 NOT GUILTYs...if you look at the truth in both cases, you will see that MJ was indeed innocent!
i thought it was a discusting and sick thing to do...and its an awfulw ay of making money..rolling stone should be ashamed...and michael jackson should sue!
Michael Joseph Jackson was found not guilty by the American Justice System. Why does Rolling Stone magazine chose to stoop so low and try to degrade his name and make a mockery of such a serious subject like Child Abuse. What fools! The offensive ad should be removed immediately and an apology should be made to MJJ and all of the victims of child abuse. And to the editors over at Rolling Stone, I will never purchase/subscribe to your magazine again.
Rolling stone sucks, leave the man and his kids alone for Christ sake, he was aquitted!!! I hope MJ doesn't just take this, I hope he fights it, Hell I would knock them the fuck out!!!
Money..Money..Money..if if is bad publicity they made us to know about them!Publicity = Money Michael Jackson Sells = MONEY The Justice WILL SPEAK ONE DAY WHERE EVERYBODY WILL BE JUDGED BY THE GOD AND THE MONEY WON'T BE OUR GOD!
It's a shame that a magazine that used to be the best is resulting to such low, disturbing actions. Is this how you want to gain success by marketing off the pain of others? I refuse to support your magazine ever again.
I can't even believe that anyone would look at this picture and okay it for a public ad. How very disrespectful to Michael and those that love him. Unbelievable!
they are crazy...like a tabloid...I mean,it's time for people to start respecting mike,but how could that happen if magazines like that doin this?fuck them
even if you don't like michael jackson, do not joke about child abuse like that.it is also unfair to pin it on him because he has been cleared of all charges. being a celebrity all his life, does not mean that he deserves to be accused. he is innocent. please leave him alone and find other ways to make headlines. do it to people who want to have all this attention. michael deserves to be loved for his music and wonderful person.
Michael Jackson is INNOCENT!!! And this campaign is offensive! I think that the magazine has told "Yes" to pedophilia with this campaign! That's too bad!!!
This isn't funny at all. It's not only insulting to Michael Jackson and his fans, it's insulting to child abuse victims.
The man has been proven innocent! Leave him alone already.
No it's not funny for the idiot that just said it was. I don't care if you like MJ or not, but what they are doing is offending people who have been sexually absued as well not just Michael and that upsets me more. No one should ever make a joke about sexual abuse and if you don't have proof that MJ did something STFU!
This promotion campaign is respectless to Michael Jackson. This singer was cleared of every charges being strongly victorius of his trial, the Rolling Stones magazine has loose all his common sense, this picture is just crazy, a real shame.
I don't think this campaign is funny. Not any of these pictures are funny!! You should be ashamed making fun of such serious problems and of other people like this! Or how would you feel, if you were on one of these Fotos?
All that ad does is demonstrate the narrow-mindedness of Rolling Stone, and their willingness to use a very serious and sensitive issue such as child abuse to sell a few magazines! The fact that they bring an image related to Michael Jackson into it just adds insult to injury! Not funny! Not clever!
That ad is completely disgusting! Rolling Stone is wrong for this. Not only is it offensive to Michael, but it's offensive to all people who have been a victim of molestation because these idiots at RS tried to make light of that type of abuse. NOT FUNNY AT ALL.
Your ad campaign is a direct insult to Mr. Michael Jackson. You have crossed every boundary of inflicting human suffering on men, women, and children of sexual abuse, both deceased and living. Now it's time for you to suffer the losses of future sales of your magazine, and for good reason.
I support this petition and I support Michael J Jackson 100%. This is disgusting that these things be sais about Michael Jackson and his name be brought down to such a level.
This is disgusting and an offense not only to a man who has never been convicted but to any genuine victim of child abuse. I will never buy or read your filthy magazine again. You have stooped to an all time low. Shame on you.
I think it's a shame that people can't leave him alone. He is a wonderful person with a big heart! If they dont have anything better to write about, then they shoulden't run a magazine!
