Jumping on the Bandwagon
Rich Cerow
The current media circus is, of course, the Michael Jackson trial. And we here at XtremeWailing.com,
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists that we are, are not above reporting on the trial of the century (until
the next one, like when some white girl gets kidnapped and murdered and then we find out it was her own
father who did it all along. And America’s shocked because this happened in a town just like your own).
Now, I’m not going to venture to guess whether he’s guilty or not. Frankly, I don’t have all the evidence,
and really, it looks like nobody’s ever gonna know except Michael and that kid. Plus, talking about
child molestation is just gross and creepy. No, what I want to know is where the Make-A-Wish foundation
is finding these kids who, with their last dying wish, wanna meet Michael Jackson. I mean, he hasn’t made
a good album in about fifteen years, a good single in about ten. And you’re telling me eleven year-olds are
still, somehow, way into Michael Jackson. When I was that age, I couldn’t be bothered with anything over a
couple of years old, let alone music my mom might’ve liked. Yet, somehow these kids are digging around record
stores nabbing used vinyl copies of the Free Willy soundtrack and Blood on the Dance Floor, cause they just so
into MJ they gotta have all the remixes and b-sides, the rare oul’ stuff. Either that or those kids got into
Michael (not literally) through Invincible, in which case their terminal illnesses are affecting their taste.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation respectfully requests that you make your donations in
the form of small bills. 'Cause just about all these sick kids gotta hit the strip club one last time
before they go.

But, despite the fact that there’s no possible way kids today (did I just say “kids today?” Watch out,
next I’ll be telling stories about the war and asking you what your name was again?) could naturally develop
an interest in Michael Jackson, there’s nobody questioning the singer’s relationship with the Make-A-Wish
Foundation. Clearly Michael has some deal worked out wherein the Foundation is funneling kids to him in
exchange for more totally bitchin’ tunes about healing the world for the entire human race. Now, like I
said, I make no judgment as to what nefarious purposes Michael has for these children he apparently has
unlimited access to. Frankly, he could be performing genetic experiments on them a la Dr. Moreau, creating
a race of half-children / half-three-legged ponies so as to overrun the world governments and force people
to continue financing long-form videos like “Ghosts” (oh, excuse me, “Michael Jackson’s Ghosts”) that
nobody wants to see. Obviously, in the hospital, these kids are asking for the chance to shake Justin
Timberlake’s hand, but some oily businessman, with slicked-back black hair, who works for the Foundation
is saying, “Now, wouldn’t you prefer someone a little more…attainable,” and somehow swaying these kids
toward Neverland (which is a good name for an amusement park). But where is the news media covering this
conspiracy? Nowhere. Which is why, faithful readers, we here at XtremeWailing.com need to cover this story.
Definitely not because it is the hot topic at the moment and we are uncreative. Most definitely. And now
that I’ve exposed it, my work here is done.
If you work for the CIA and wish to assassinate me before I expose just how far up the ladder this
thing reaches (all the way to the White House!), e-mail me at
rich@xtremewailing.com and I’ll let you know
where I’ll be next week. Way I figure it is, I’ve had a good run.
