Jackson anger over Eminem video
 

Michael Jackson has asked TV stations to stop playing Eminem's new video, which ridicules the pop legend, saying it is "outrageous and disrespectful".
Eminem dresses as Jackson for the Just Lose It video, and is shown on a bed with young boys. His nose also falls off and his hair catches fire.

"It is one thing to spoof but it is another to be demeaning and insensitive," Jackson said.

US cable's Black Entertainment TV is the only channel to ban it so far.

The song and video make references to Jackson's looming trial on 10 child abuse charges, which he denies.

They also poke fun at his reputed plastic surgery and an accident while filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984 when Jackson's hair caught fire.

"I am very angry at Eminem's depiction of me in his video," Jackson told Los Angeles radio host Steve Harvey, according to a transcript from the singer's publicist.

"I've admired Eminem as an artist, and was shocked by this.

"The video was inappropriate and disrespectful to me, my children, my family, and the community at large."

Black Entertainment Television (BET) president Robert Johnson said he felt it was inappropriate to disparage a celebrity.

A spokesman for the network told BBC Radio Five Live their decision was "partly out of respect for the relationship we've had with Michael over the years".

'Just a metaphor'

Jackson added: "It is my hope that the other networks will take BET's lead and pull it."

Eminem's spokesperson would only said he was "sorry" at BET's decision.

The song includes lyrics such as "Come here little kiddies on my lap" and "I've done touched on everything but little boys/ That's not a stab at Michael/ That's just a metaphor".

The video also sends up Madonna, Pee Wee Herman and MC Hammer.

Last year, the rap star made fun of Jackson's baby-dangling incident at a Berlin hotel.

Eminem came out to his hotel room balcony in Glasgow, wearing a black and white tracksuit and a surgical mask, and threw a baby doll in the air.

:1orglaugh Always controversial

Em's a little bitch. Its all good when he makes fun of someone else, but when it comes to him or his daughter he cries like a little bitch.

Yeah he was mad there weren't more kids in the video...

More free press for Eminem.... man, does he know how to play the game or what?

yeppp

eMinem is the king of the drama!

..actually he just comes back that much harder at you... take JaRule for instant, fidn the song "Doe Ray Me" ... JaRule took a cheap shot at Eminem and his daughter, Em came back with 5 songs tearing him a new asshole...

Who the fuck cares? Giving shit to other people isn't exactly what I look for in music, but hey, I would never listen to shit like that anyway. I prefer music that contains instruments and talent which you can listen to anytime. Not some dude talking and recording the news on a cd. Just my 2c.

that song is so fucking gay...he always makes some lame ass teenie-bopper song for his first single...

Em is fucking funny, I don't think he gives a shit. Michael was the shit back in the 80's, now he is just a freak.
