Killer Anxiety
Michael Jackson was so frenetically anxious that he filled himself with tranquillizers. A tremendous combination of drugs was found in his body: the anesthetic propofol, the anxiolytic lorazepam, as well as midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine and ephedrine. He had a personal doctor administer his addiction. His arms were covered with punctures and his face and neck were scarred. He cut his nose and mutilated his body by a dozen surgical operations. He scratched out his skin's basal cells to grew a scarified, depigmented skin. I wonder if anything is worth such a suffering life (and death).

There was a lot of money riding on his last tour. He must have endured it for the sake of his backers (and to pay off his own debts). One can't help but feel sorry for him inspite of the pedophilia allegations - which if true were more of the Lewis Carroll variety. In his youth he was thoroughly exploited by his father. Then confused people such as Liz Taylor became his close friends. It is truly sad how he ended up looking like the Tin Man.

Japanese no longer have sex. Why?

First of all, the country faces a record number of single men between the ages of 18 and 34 in the country -- 9.2 percent increase since 2005. About 61 percent of those unmarried men report not having any significant other in their life at all. In addition, half of the unmarried adult women who were surveyed also said they are totally unattached with no boyfriend.
That might have something to do with the fact that one in four of the single adults in their late 30s surveyed are virgins!
Proving that Japan is not a land of desperate romantics, 45 percent of those unmarried, unattached adults said they don't really care about finding their one true love right now. Instead, marriage is a distant prospect, with 86 percent of single men and 89 percent of single women saying they would like to get married.... someday.
