This post concentrates on the latter.
During Jackson's life, it was essential that Jackson be portrayed as dominant - "the King of Pop." Albums, singles, concerts, humanitarian efforts - all were portrayed as hugely successful with strings of superlatives.
Well, luckily all of that ended with his death, right?
Yes, The Gloved One has a Twitter account.
A verified Twitter account.
And if you look closely at the account, you will see that it was established in July 2009.
Jackson died on June 25, 2009 (I remember; I was flying back from a conference in Atlantic City, and all of the TVs in Hartsfield Atlanta airport were talking about his death.)
So this verified account was not created until JUST AFTER HE DIED.
But if you scan the tweets from the account, you'd think he never left us. One example:
“It makes me so happy to be able to brighten those kids’ days by just showing up and talking with them...” –MJ
That particular tweet received over 1,300 retweets over 3,800 likes, and numerous replies regarding how much people love Michael, and how much people miss Michael.
If Jackson's former father-in-law is truly still alive like the tabloids claim, then he must be really jealous. Sure, Elvis had his devoted fans, but nothing like this. Plus, Michael earned twice as much in 2015 as Elvis did. (Sorry, Bob Marley.)
