Michael Jackson: Threat or Menace?
The Smoking Gun
"FEBRUARY 2--A California judge today unsealed documents related to the search last year of Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch, providing the first glimpse--though heavily edited--of what investigators carted away from the singer's estate. The documents include redacted inventories of items seized from Jackson's home and two other properties raided November 18. According to the below Neverland inventory, Santa Barbara Sheriff's deputies removed computers, legal documents, magazines, and a Canon digital camera found in Jackson's master bathroom. The court records, released by Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville, show that the material was taken from the 'main house' on the sprawling Los Olivos estate. Agents searched Jackson's master bedroom, where they took a 'note' found in a nightstand, and had to have a locksmith open the locked master bath (keys to the bathroom were apparently found later in a safe). The search warrant documents also include lists of items seized from the Beverly Hills office of Bradley Miller, a private investigator working for Jackson, and the L.A. home of Hamid Moslehi, a videographer who has worked for the so-called King of Pop. Melville, however, has refused to release the affidavit filed in support of the searches, a document that would provide a details of the prosecution's case against Jackson as well as the account provided to investigators by the teenage boy who has accused Jackson of molestation.

Because you know you want to see it....
DRUDGE REPORT

"'The decision to go forward went to the very top of the network,' a well-placed source explained from New York.
"The groundbreaking scene came during the most-watched television broadcast of the year -- and during the dinner hour for the nation's west coast viewers."

Marv Wolfman
Marv Wolfman's Website
"Writer of comic books, movies, television, animation, theme park shows and rides, children's books, novels, interactive, internet animation and, in my spare time, a couple of other things I'm sure I'll remember later. I started writing because of my love for comics, so it's great fun to realize that so many of my characters have been turned into movies, TV, toys and animation. Fact is, I've been told that I've created more characters that have been adapted into movies, TV and animation than any other comics writer with the exception of Stan Lee."

"The Schizophrenic Murderer with the Chainsaw"
'Chainsaw Massacre' Horrifies Greek Docs
"ATHENS, Greece - The remake of the 1974 cult horror movie "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" opened Friday in Greece with an introduction demanded by psychiatrists: Schizophrenics aren't always violent.
"The distributor of the film — with the Greek title "The Schizophrenic Murderer with the Chainsaw" — said it added the preface prepared by the Research Institute for Psychological Health.
"The distributor took the action after Greek psychiatrists demanded that the Greek title be changed because it insulted schizophrenics and stigmatized people with psychological disorders.
"The movie is about five stranded youths who become the prey of a deformed lunatic."
