    Michael Jackson Conspiracy Thread...

    I think Micheal Jackson is alive and well and living in solitude. He was aging, going broke (which in celebrity terms, simply means you can no longer afford the lifestyle you've grown accustomed too), and was getting more negative press than even HE was used too... I think he just quit...

    Anyways...thats what the newly revamped Voom website says...in so many words...:( One channel now, apparently. Site has a few promos on it for their signature series, but didn't see much in the way of a programming schedule or anything. Life goes on, I guess....
