I was always very critical of MJ for the excessive plastic surgery. I thought he was a handsome young man before he embarked on his campaign to look like a freaky white woman.

And the part about him beginning his plastic surgery campaign when he matured and began to really resemble his abusive father made me re-think my formerly very critical stance.

I looked back and noticed that the wrapper from the Otter Pop lookalike was gone. I slowed down the car and asked accusatorially, "Did you throw that out the window?"
