It's amazing how people are too keen to associate themselves with "normal."

Any deviation from the conventional norm and they'd be classified as weirdos, bizarro, etc. The media has only exacerbated this.


Michael Jackson had sleepovers with children, bleached his skin from black to powder white and messed around with his nose to the point it was basically falling off.

I'd say he was a bit more than weird,

He had some severe mental issues, clearly.

MJ suffered from a condition called Vitiligo. He may have bleached his skin but it's not scientifically possible to go from black to white by mere bleaching.

I do agree that he had mental issues. Has to do with his abusive childhood. His nose-job, which he has admitted, is a consequence of his father making fun of it all his childhood.

There still is no means to go full-on black-to-white or vice-versa unless you have a skin condition, which MJ did.

Third CL trophy in a row by the looks of things.

Another Ballon D'or potentially on top.

I don't think we'll see anyone as good as him again.

We won't.

He is more machine-like than human.

But above all it's his willpower that separates him, always steps up when it matters most.

Undeniable.

I forgot about that time he bottled the Spain penalty shootout, he hasn't redeemed himself enough to be the Goat for that, ACH said he never hides, did in a massive moment there.

I'm sure if they were allowed to change the order they would've but not allowed.

He wanted to take the pressure penalty. Can't be blamed for others failures.

Higuains fault tbh

Ignoring two fellas who're glued to his nuts, Ron not getting booked for all the shenanigans last night was not so shocking.

As Schlandi put it, #HalaUefadrid.

Imagine if Arsenal had conceded such a penalty in the last moment, whilst being 0-3 up at the Bernabeu...
