King of Pop or Teflon Child Molester?

It's difficult to come up with an intelligent commentary on a debacle such as this one, as has already been illustrated by numerous inane soundbites already broadcasting worldwide.

Still, I have to wonder. Who is the bigger idiot? The rock star who has been accused of molestation multiple times still inviting little boys to sleep in his bed with him? Or the parents who allow the scary reconstructed guy unsupervised access to their children? I guess it depends on what the motives behind each are. If Jackson is truly after these boys, he's got access and will no doubt get it again, as it shouldn't be hard to find parents that are either blind MJ worshippers or who see the opportunity for some easy money. If the parents involved are deliberately placing their kids in these situations to set up a nice littel civil suit, maybe they're the smarter ones. Sick and twisted, but smarter.

Unsolicited advice from Areo & Snuffy:

Michael: Don't invite any more kids to come over and play with you. If you must play, play with grown ups. No "Jesus juice" allowed.

Parents: Do not allow Michael Jackson within a hundred feet of your children. If he wants to pay for their chemotherapy or hospital bills or skin grafts and you see no other alternative, fine. Accept the money, smile for the publicity photos, and never leave your kid's side. Take them home no matter how much they want to stay and play on the toys at Scaryland.

Child protective services: Please check on this man's children. Particularly Prince Michael and "Blanket." I can't imagine any child raised in that environment is going to reach maturity unscathed.
