 I expect a low 4 or worse. I don't understand why the world worships this man. This photograph represents the children and their lives he touched as well as his own disturbed childhood.

Glad this week is over! Ouch!

Post: Thanks for the Brown! I was a bit worried that the score was not low enough.

I think this is a great shot! It is a thought-provoking picture without being insulting. Michael was undoubtedly robbed of his childhood, and we'll probably never know the truth in the other area.
Further, it is an interesting photographic and editing effect.

I see it..it's a teddy bear. I was going to say that the post processing took away from the photograph but it made me look at it for awhile.

Freakishly odd - the processing has created a graphic abstract... all of which is perhaps representative of MJ. Interesting.
