News Flash:- Wacko Jacko

[Dante]

When i first saw the thread i thought that maybe he had started to decompose a la South Park.

it does puzzle me why he is calling celebs as witnesses. i can't really see how they are going to help his case other than in the "we are rich and famous so you must believe us" stakes. Which'd do more to piss off a jury than impress them, surely. Unless they are going to liven up the 6 month trial with the occasional sing-a-long

 

[T & P]

Well he has been looking a bit pale lately.

..

there's a syndrome called "Munchhausen's syndrome", i think,
wherein a person fakes illness to get other's pity (if i remember it correctly).
-mr.Wacko seems to have got his fair share of this...
(came to court last year in crutches, now he's suddely too "ill"
to proceed with the trial against him- Yeah, so was Pinochet... ,
his doctors declared him "unfit"too... )

I think Munchausen's is actually making yourself ill (or someone else if it's Munchausen by Proxy) for attention, rather than faking it.

-ok, yeah, i wondered about that... you're right.
(i was thinking about "hypocondriac", rather, i think...!?)

-he's still creepy as f*ck, tho'...

You're not wrong about that Maya...

What do you think the jury selection process is for?

Defence: "Do you believe in the Tooth Fairy?"
Candidate Juror: "No..."
Defence: "Objection!"
Defence: "What's 4 divided by 2?"
Candidate Juror: "3"
Defence: "No objections..."

So. He was rushed into Casualty with a heavy cold.

I'm not too sure that'd go down very well in my local hospital. Nor would a judge be that impressed...

Ah, but you live under the oppressive yoke of Socialised Medicine.

In the Land of the Free, you just have to work hard enough* to be able to afford to get hospitalised with a cold when it suits you. That is the True Meaning of Freedom™.

* Yes, of course it's a fucking lie.

 

[Silva]

of course it's fucking serious. Can you imagine him sneezing ? If it' a big one, it will be a problem to put apart snot and the nose that was put on his face. If he tries to hold, half his face would probably collapse.

You people have no conscience at all

 

[Wess]

maybe his nose fell off. like in the Eminem video.

or the South Park episode...

 

[pk]

He's summoning his own kids as defence witnesses.

For someone who claims he has the best interests of children at heart - why would he summon his own kids and subject them to cross-examination in an abuse case?

What the fuck would they know about his abusing a cancer patient?

I'm sorry, but all this points to one conclusion for me - that he's a desperate fool who doesn't give a fuck about kids, his own or anyone elses.

I reckon he's a lying-ass whitey paedophile muthafucka, cha'mon.

 

[brokenyolk]

Reminds me of The Winona Ryder trial, where she hurt her arm in the media scrum, and came to court the next day wearing a cast.....on the other arm.

 

[Stigmata]

Why do celebrities/dictators always get ill when they come to trial? Wacko probably spent the night in the same ward as Pinochet and Milosevic. When this all blows over they'll release an album together.

 

[butchersapron]

We can only hope.
