Oh, as opposed to all of his real friends who have barely stopped to take a breath between appearances on the BBC, CNN, and other programs in the US (and by "other" I mean any and all others that'll have 'em) since before MJ was pronounced dead.

I agree with apsara and desmosedici (both difficult names to type, so you can see I really agree with them). there is rarely any effort to hide, or be discreet either. These fellows just whip it out on any streetside. Filthy habit.

Very odd vocabualry. You can't really "cackle bashfully"; Neither does one ever look "smug" with oneself, only "pleased".

So she's married in the US and in Japan? Is that legal?
