Whoa...for the first time in American history there is a major party presidential candidate who is younger than Michael Jackson.

Sounds like a lot of former rock stars actually.

Usually guys - women seem to deal better with it.

I don't particularly go out of my way to read what should-be-but-never-have-been convicted pedophiles have to say.

I think he looks LOVELY. Like a flower. A corpseflower, but still, a flower.

he looks like a hybrid of diana ross and a chimpanzee (the real picture that is). the imaginary fellow isn't half bad looking for a 50yo.

Maybe for his birthday he'll invite 5 10-year-olds over.

He looks like the creepy german guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark midway through his meltdown at the end of the film.

I'm sure that all plastic surgeons tend to play bocce. Usually the men smoke more cigarettes. But it's outdoor bocce, not the indoor kind we play in Kinshasa.

Will, I wouldn't expect you to know what rock is, but he is hailed the "king of pop" for a reason, you fucking idiot.

How will they make up his face in his casket? Remove the make up? Pump his head full of helium? Yuck!

Could have been more interestnig and "what if" accurate if the "au natural" fantasy version had shown him with either white splotches all over his face or blanched skin but sans the other plastic surgery - given his vitiligo.
