Last night Jen and I watched with disgust, sadness, and laughter as British journalist Martin Bashir (he rocks) journeyed for 8 months with the has-been King of Pop Michael Jackson in ABC’s documentary Living with Michael Jackson.

I haven’t even looked at any of the footage yet, but the concept is really cool. I came across the link to that while reading this interview with Brewster Kahle about […]
