Michael Jackson fans are competing with Penn State for most delusional fan base award



Source-
Reviews on Amazon (AMZN) are becoming attack weapons, intended to sink new books as soon as they are published.
In the biggest, most overt and most successful of these campaigns, a group of Michael Jackson fans used Facebook and Twitter to solicit negative reviews of a new biography of the singer. They bombarded Amazon with dozens of one-star takedowns, succeeded in getting several favorable notices erased and even took credit for Amazon’s briefly removing the book from sale.
In "Untouchable: The Strange Life and Tragic Death of Michael Jackson,” Randall Sullivan writes that Jackson’s overuse of plastic surgery reduced his nose to little more than a pair of nostrils and that he died a virgin despite being married twice. These points in particular seem to infuriate the fans.
Outside Amazon, the book had a mixed reception; in The New York Times, Michiko Kakutani called it “thoroughly dispensable.” So it is difficult to pinpoint how effective the campaign was. Still, the book has been a resounding failure in the marketplace.
The fans, who call themselves Michael Jackson’s Rapid Response Team to Media Attacks, say they are exercising their free speech rights to protest a book they feel is exploitative and inaccurate. “Sullivan does everything he can to dehumanize, dismantle and destroy, against all objective fact,” a spokesman for the group said. An administrator for the rapid response team, who identified himself as Steve Pollard, said five people run the Facebook site and Twitter efforts, only three of them in the United States. Going after “Untouchable” was “a moral responsibility,” said Mr. Pollard, a 52-year-old resident of Detroit. He explained, “If you were to drive by a graveyard and see someone steal a corpse in order to make a profit, you would feel some responsibility to do something.”
He said that the response team did not tell fans what to say in their Amazon reviews and that they did not try to have the book removed, despite messages to the contrary on the Facebook page. But he added in an e-mail that some of the favorable reviews of “Untouchable” “were removed (I think) because they were attacks against fans and not reviews of his book. We reported the attacks of course.”




Randall Sullivan dropping bombs! I don't think MJ was a virgin however. A vaginal penetration virgin? Absolutely.  Definitely not a butt sex virgin though. I'm not here to speculate on his pedophilia/homosexual tendencies, I want to discuss Michael Jackson's Rapid Response Team to Media Attacks. When there is a media attack on MJ do they light up the sky with this?






Once they see the symbol in the sky they go running to the nearest device with an internet connection ready to one star the fuck out of some Amazon reviews. How about Scott Pollard? Your a 52 year old man who believes it is his duty to protect a dead dude you never met before from negative comments You are doing the family name proud. The quote at the end really gets me though, “were removed (I think) because they were attacks against fans and not reviews of his book. We reported the attacks of course.” Oh but of course! Dude you are from Detroit, if you reported every threat that's ever happened to you, you would have no time left to defend Jacko's honor.
