(Newser) – More photos of Michael Jackson’s apparently drug-abused body have surfaced, this time showing bruises and needle marks on his legs, the Daily Mail reports. The images, originally broadcast on ABC, also show a large black wound where an IV line apparently fed into his leg. More on Jackson:

  • Michael is undoubtedly the biological father of all three of his children, brother Tito tells the Mirror, adding that 7-year-old Blanket in particular takes after his father: “Those eyes don’t lie. Them eyes are Michael over again. I see a lot of Michael in him.”

  • Not so, says a former lover of Dr. Arnold Klein, Michael’s dermatologist. Klein is the father, as has been rumored, he tells Radar, adding that Jackson was sterile—a result of being kicked in the testicles by his father.
  • Jackson collected a variety of, er, fascinating objects—and had a new interest just before his death. The owner of a collection of nude photos—of everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Adolf Hitler’s mistress—tells E! he was in negotiations to sell it to Jackson for “eight figures.”

I think that these news casters are predominately white males and are jealous of michael Jackson's success in life, as a black man. Since Michael Jackson is now gone, these newscasters are trying to threaten and destroy the rest of the Jackson family, by making up rumors about Michael's beautiful big eyed son, Blanket, who resembles Michael Jackson when he was a kid. They need to stop harrassing the lovely jackson family and worry about their own family and leave the Jacksons alone. Us fans of Michael Jackson, already know racism still exsist, and these white jealous men are racist against the Jackson family and Barack Obama. So knock it off, or else, jesus Christ shall send an earthquake right when you racist white men are talking, racist talk against theJackson family or Barack Obama and his family, and swallow you racist white men up in the earth and be barried alive just like in Haiti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an evil rumor to start about Michael Jackson being sterile because Joe Jackson kicked him in the balls. How sad. If, by any chance, there is any truth to this rumor I hope that Joe gets an extra hot spot in hell when he gets there.

MPMAN... ARE YOU SERIOUS? I assume you are talking about Pink Floyd's Richard Wright. I like Pink Floyd but come on... this guy wasn't even as talented as Roger Waters, Sid Barret, or David Gilmour. And as much as like Pink Floyd, it would be a stretch to think they had the impact globally as Michael Jackson.
