    “the absolute pinnacle of cultural criticism. there is a strange babygirl-ification of michael jackson happening online right now post-bioic, and i needed to return to the definitive text. "A family can be like organized religion: just about any crime can be committed and hidden in its name, and the Jacksons have plenty to answer for."”
