The story that was making headlines was that Michael was accidentally whacked in the face by his younger son Blanket while playing around, and part of Michael's upper lip collapsed. Apparently his lip was so bad that he needed to get it surgically fixed.
The media had reported that the reason for the bandages was due to MJ's lips bursting due to the accident with Blanket. Below is a report from "Extra":
Curiously though, during the GMA bodyguard interview, the topic of Michael's appearance at that time came up. They showed the pictures of Michael wearing bandages across the screen. When asked if Michael was hiding injuries under them, one of the body guards answered "No. That disguise to him was the burn victim"
You can hear this at around 5:15
Michael has been known for showing unique appearences in public. Most often, has been seen wearing masks, sunglasses and scarves, not so much bandages. So, why would they question the bandages over all his other disguises?
What does burn victim remind you of, Dave Dave perhaps?
The "disguise" really isn't a disguise, you can see it is MJ. So the bodyguards changing the story doesn't make much sense when they say he wanted to "disguise" as a burn victim. In light of the reports in 2007 where the explanation was given that an accident caused the surgery and resulting bandages, why would the bodyguards say that MJ was trying to disguise as a burn victim, now in 2010? And why a burn victim? In light of the Dave Dave Larry King Live appearance, it could make you wonder, and we are burning to know the truth... ;)

Very interesting remark.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking only of the "disguised" connection, but now as you mention the connection with the burnt victim Dave Dave - yes it makes some sense.
I just love the atmosphere in the room with these body guards. Would love to give them a hug for being so great to MJ. LOVELY!
ReplyDeleteI find this burn-victim theme SO interesting, SC. - Also because I'm taking interest in the hoax as a kind of (performance + concept) Art Piece as a whole; examining new limits, mediums and possibilities. -> And MJ definitely is a performer - not only onstage. He is (because he has to) so aware of his appearance in the categorical very different spheres: front stage and a back stage, even when it comes to his own personal life. Michael has never until now been able to have an untouched backstage life sovereignly defined by himself.
To sum the performance-theme up: He knows his symbolic + metaphors + paraphrase theory and readings of Art pieces for sure! He's a nerd when it comes to that! :-P And he has shown the world (like... for ever) that he knows how to empathize this 'craft' also when it comes to managing the media (though getting out of hand because it all has went into a constant hype with the Internet).
The symbols of the burn-victim is interesting. The burn-victims is at the same time the victim and the survivor. He who managed to fight the fire and survive though being scared for life. I found an article about chilean burn-victims becoming symbols of HOPE. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1310&dat=19880821&id=AWwVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=puEDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7024,5114624
The parallel to Dave Dave is also a huge thing, I quote. He also is a survivor and means a lot to the hoax.
Also MJ has an agenda of THE MAN (aka the real and fictive figures in Chaplin's movies, Ghandi's make LOVE not war etc.) against the System, in my opinion. I think there's so much indicating, that there are myriads of recent performances pointing this out, and I see a huge parallel to the 'V for Vendetta' theme in MJ's acting and his associates acting these days. Watch V for Vendetta - the crowd marching just like the huge crowd of soldiers in 'This Is It', Beyonce's Academy performance and Travis Payne drill'ing and marching like one of MJ's very dedicated soldiers with the inmates in the prison, on spanish TV and yeah: *everywhere*. Please watch 'V for Vendetta'. :-) It really exposes the theme: ONE MAN getting even.
Allow me to take it a step further out... Michaels physical appropriation of a very skinny man reminds me of a historic figure; the emblem of the victim itself. - The Muselman. I might be far out here, but Holocaust means burn-victim.
It's all for LOVE - even if you don't agree with me. Please remember that.

Ps. Loving Michael Jackson to me means being able to LOVE unconditionally and unselfishly. MJ-L.O.V.E. to me is a universal global kind of NETWORK LOVE! What did the man talk about: a demonstration of freedom. But we all need to feel free by knowing others acknowledging me as a unique person. LOVE is not good enough as words. LOVE is action, okay!?
Well, maybe they are giving us hoaxers another clue.
ReplyDeleteMichael probably did have an accident at that time which required him to need bandages (although I doubt it was Blanket punching him in the face, but idk). Anyway, now we have the bodyguards saying Michael wanted to disguise himself as a burn victim. As you pointed out, the little bandages worn certainly aren't enough bandages to resemble a burn victim. So why did they say something silly like that? They and (MJ) would know that we hoaxers would immediately think of Dave Dave. Which of course, have us all relate it to the debate of whether or not; MJ was Dave Dave on LKL. And for those who believe he was the burn victim Dave Dave, here is another veiled confirmation that he was. Therefore, concluding our Michael is still alive and this is, as we all know, one BIG hoax.
The three of them are saying lots of unrequested things... the "bunt victim look", the two girlfriends, and so on.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to see the truth when so many things are told... that's a bit misleading.
*AgneseMoon*
I noticed the connection... about the bandages, burn victim, Dave Dave... right away too. Another hmmm moment! They talked about MJ not being a child molester, having girlfriends, being a real man, etc. I believe that's all true. But so much information coming out since he died contradicting all the accusations against him. This is all very interesting...
ReplyDeleteThese "bodyguard interviews" are a HUGE, orchestrated PR campaign to restore MJ's reputation.Just like he used Cherylynn Lee to spread the Propofol info he is using the bodyguards.(Wonder who planted the book idea in their heads?They only worked for him 2 years and only in Vegas). The Interviewer is one of the vampires that spread lies about MJ for years. Ashley Bennfield is another disciple of Court TV,same as Harvey Levin(TMZ)and the demon,Diane Dimone(ET).MJ is USING the same people who discredited his reputation to restore it.Bennfield must say 5 times in 2 days her "OPINION OF MJ HAD CHANGED". Day #1,the rumors he is Gay or a Pedophile are discredited.They establish he is a kind, intelligent man who is also a fabulous FATHER. A far cry for a freak, weirdo who may have a thing for kids isn't it?? No amount of concerts could do for him what this first day of interviews did. Day #2 is Finances. Cleverly,they state ALL emails and personal financial info went through a temporary bodyguard?? But MJ had a long time personal assistant and a business manager??huh?...It would explain how a "bodyguard" would have a copy of MJ's most recent PASSPORT! WHAT DOES A PASSPORT HAVE TO DO WITH FINANCES?? (look at minute #3. Clearly, again, says JOE. Its a shout out to beLIEvers).He is using the media.
ReplyDeleteI just find what they are saying to be so interesting. Why are they offering all this info? I too believe they are bringing up the whole burn victim thing to show something, what I am not sure.
ReplyDeleteI am having a hard time with all that these bodyguards are saying. I feel they are being very disrespectful to Michael and that is so very sad to me.
Yes, some of this could be a clue, however a good part of it isn't. They just want to make some money off of a book and by coming forward now, they are getting people interested in wanting to buy it. : (
Where were they prior to this? Also they had not worked for Michael in 2 yrs. A lot can happen in 2 yrs. Just a thought.
I am following all of this and I agree with most of it. I like the jokes as well =) The one thing I don't get is why he would want to come back to the fish-bowl after escaping from it.
