Jackson Seeks Ban on Eminem Video

Jackson Seeks Ban on Eminem Video
Oct 12, 1:37 PM EST

The Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Michael Jackson is reportedly angered by the way he is portrayed in rapper Eminem's recently released video "Just Lose It." The pop singer is said to be so upset that he has asked networks to remove the video from their rotations.

"Michael Jackson is very angry. He feels that Eminem has crossed the line," Jackson spokesperson Ramone Bain told the Daily News in Tuesday editions.

"Michael is calling on all networks to pull the video."

In the video, Eminem appears dressed mockingly as Jackson with a group of boys in the background, jumping. Then he sings the lyric in reference to Jackson's child molestation allegations: "Come here little kiddie, on my lap. Guess who's back with a brand new rap..."

Later in the video Eminem also ridicules plastic surgery done on Jackson's nose, and an accident in which Jackson's hair caught on fire while filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984.

So far, Black Entertainment Television has agreed to pull the video, and was expected on Tuesday to announce that it is removing the video.

"Michael feels the video is disrespectful and offensive...it's one thing to spoof someone, it's another to be completely insensitive and disrespectful," said Bain.
I think this is pathetic. I really think for one, that Micheal Jackson should realize we have freedom of speech/expression. Im sorry it offended you Micheal, but "GET OVER IT!"

I wish I could feel sympathy for Michael Jackson, but all the bad things that have happened to him have been brought on by himself.

I didn't know Eminem still did music. He's a punk who needs to have his daughter shoot him to death like the girl in the other thread.

Either way, poking fun at MJ is what being an american is all about.

Seems like anytime Eminem comes out with something new it's just basically a rehashing of his past stuff. Nothing new, nothing original.

I guess Michael has never heard the word parody...

Michael should've thought of the ramifications before he started molesting young boys.

By the way, when does he go to trial?

he has a right to be angry, if he's innocent. my opinion is that he's just screwed up, not a molester, but i haven't heard any of the evidence, so i'm not going to say anything. i'd be pretty pissed and hurt , though, if i was parodied for being something as serious as a child molester, if it wasn't true.

as for the fact that he brought it upon himself, i agree. but people make stupid choices sometimes, and when you're rich and famous, it doesn't seem like people question those choices very much, or they're afraid to confront you. i think it would be easy then, to make bad decisions. especially if it's something you grew up with.

just my opinion.

Whether or not Jackson's aligations or true or not. I think the whole thing is ridicilous. When Eminem made a joke about *NSYNC in one of his videos, they didn't care and thought it was funny. Some people just can't get a joke. They need to chill out.

Eminem sucks, but that's a whole different story. Why is Michael Jackson getting bent out of shape about this, but didn't bat an eyelash when Scary Movie 3 did basically the same thing?

He had a whinge then, but they just ignored it.

I don't think his video should've been banned. Eminem didn't do anything that MAD TV/SNL/or any other comedy show hasn't done already.
