Michael Jackson was officially indicted today on child molestation charges; the indictment was announced, via a bottom-of-the-screen crawl during "The West Wing," about five minutes before the airing of "South Park"'s Jackson parody episode.
Jackson's youngest son, Blanket, could not be reached for comment.
Posted by Stephen Silver at April 22, 2004 01:28 AMIs Blanket really the kid's name? I thought Michael wasn't revealing the name to protect his "privacy" and that Blanket was just a term of convenience, used in reference to the fact that he also hid the child's face from the public with a blanket.
