Michael Jackson is a strange, strange fellow. But I guess he's keeping his multi-million dollar, 2,500 acre amusement land of doom.

Neverland Ranch was set to go up for public auction later this month. But apparently he struck a confidential agreement with some company to retain ownership in the Neverland Ranch. The article also says he owes more than $23 million on the property. Oh, and let's not forget that he hasn't lived there since 2005. This whole thing upsets me for a few reasons:
1) I had my checkbook ready to go, but I guess I'll have to wait for a different crazy pop star's paradise to go up for public auction (Britney Spears, I'm looking in your direction). Disappointment has overwhelmed me.
2) Why the hell do you owe that much money on a place that you don't even live in anymore, and then strike up a deal to retain ownership? Clearly, there's a reason you don't live there (ahem, child molestation....), so why keep the place? But then again, all of the Jackson family is kind of odd, to say the least.
I don't think we'll ever figure out the answer to number 2. But then again, why does Jack-O molest children.
In conclusion, Michael Jackson is still a weirdo.
