The music legend Michael Jackson may have recently died, but his impact on a London toy store, around 17 years ago, will not be forgotten.According to a Japanese TV show, around 17 years ago, Michael Jackson walked into a London toy store where he spent over half a million on video games and children's picture books.
Indeed, the legend was a massive video games fan, also spending alot of time on his arcade games which he collected, such as Guitar Freaks, Galaxy Force II, Mortal Kombat, Tekken 2 and another 60 pages worth. He is seen quoted in his arcade auction catalog:
A question keeps wondering my mind, has the King of Pop ever tried World of Warcraft or Counter-Strike? and would his nickname have been Jacko?

"I love toys and gadgets. I like to see the latest things manufacturers have come out with. If there's something really wonderful, I'll buy one."

but ofc, he was a real genius when it comes to music
I googled, but all articles were linked to some twitter or blog post, so afaik nothing is confirmed.
I dare not say MJ did anything wrong, but I can't explain why he spent millions of dollars trying not to get into court if he were innocent...
visited sick kids, donated his time and money
he loved kids... not in a bad way... only different to most people ... he was just a kid that never grew up

This is 10 times better ;)
Michael Jackson has always done a lot of good works, he donated large sums of money for charity ! Yes of course, maybe he was strange, but maybe it was a mystique ?
Anyway, now people want to see the surrounding choke in the shit, especially if they is successful and rich people !
Unfortunately, in recent years his work has taken in the shade, as compared with the scandals surrounding the mysterious pedophilia ! It was always clear that this is someone tune !
R.I.P. Michael Jackson !
