This Weeks Top 10 'WTF' Moments

Well, this isn't actually recent by any stretch of the mind as I'm going to be using Michael Jackson in todays segment titled 'This Weeks Top 10 'WTF' Moments.'

10 - 1982: "The White Sequin Glove" - I still hate that damn glove just as much as I hated its icon status in the early 90's. It still doesn't make sense to me of how that silly thing became so popular while I thought it was the oddest damn thing I ever saw.

9 - 1984: "The Roof, The Roof, The Roof Is On Fire" - While on tour in 1984 after being brought on as the spokesman for Pepsi (bad move, Pepsi, bad move), Jackson was burned while on tour to promote The Jacksons' album. He suffered third degree burns.

8 - 1986: "Hyperbaric Chamber, Bleached Skin, And The Elephant Man" - Around this time tabloids started running stories that Jackson slept in a hyperbaric chamber, bleached his skin, and bought the bones of the Elephant Man John Merrick. And to be honest, I actually believe the tabloids this time.

7 - 1987: "The Release Of 'Bad,' And A New White Jackson" - In 1987 riding the high wave of success, Jackson decided to release his new look and album. A new whiter Jackson hit the tabloids with the release of his album "Bad" forever changing his face with plastic surgery.

6 - 1988: "Daddy Doesn't Love Me, No One Cares" - It was this year that Jackson released his autobiography disclosing his father and the abusive relationship between them. I really do think this was the dawn of "emo."

5 - 1991: "After Sleeping In The Hyperbaric Chamber, 'Black Or White' Hits" - After taking a hiatus from the music business after the release of "Bad" in 1988, Jackson returns with the release of an 11 minute controversial video for "Black or White." The source of seven more painful hit singles we had to listen to on the radio.

4 - 1993: "I Did Not Have Sexual Relations With That Wom...Err, Boy" - Yep, this was the first year that Jackson was accused of molesting a child that was staying with him at his Neverland Ranch. He would go on satellite and proclaim his innocence and just to top it off...settle out of court.

3 - 1994: "Uhhuh, You Know You Want Me Baby" - As if to give one last jab to society, Michael marries Lisa Marie Presley the daughter of the late Elvis Presley. Thank you, Michael, you proved to me that there isn't a God.

2 - 2002: "A Boy Named 'Blanket'" - It was this year that Michael decided to dangle Prince Michael II over his balcony while the awe-struck public looked on. Later to become the boy named 'blanket', I'm sure Prince Michael is forever scarred by this event. Nice going, Jackson, now everyone thinks you're fucked in the head.

1 - 2009: "The Comeback Trail, And Inevitable Fail" - Appearing at London's 02 arena Michael proclaimed that he was coming back this year. I'm not sure as I wasn't there but I think there was a sigh of "oh my God, not again" that went over the crowd. Four months after his announcement he was rushed to Ronald Reagon UCLA Medical Center and pronounced dead of cardiac arrest. Allegations of drug use sparked the DEA investigating as many as 30 different doctors in relation to this case. Which is why I promote illicit substances, no one can find the people that provide these services.

Kind of funny how this list degrades by year, at least I think so anyway. Well, there is my list of the top 10 'WTF' moments from the 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson.
