Despite Spike Lee's new Michael Jackson documentary "Bad 25" garnering critical acclaim from nearly everyone, it absolutely flopped in its Thanksgiving TV debut. The film explores MJ's legendary 1987 album "Bad", and was even released alongside a new deluxe edition of "Bad".
The documentary had trouble pulling viewers away from Thanksgiving NFL games on NBC and "The X-Factor" on Fox. In the adult 18-49 demographic, "Bad 25" performed the absolute worst, behind even "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving."

cmon man the media has been tryin to discredit all MJ has done or been about since day one! weird or not he is the fuckin man! Saying TV ratings were down during the hayday of the internet/youtube generation proves NOTHING whatsoever! Mike Jack is still the greatest pop star of ALL TIME!! white people hated when he sold more than the beetles, they hated when he danced better than elvis and couldnt do nothing about it but love the fuck outta him!! I remember white people dying to learn how to do the moonwalk in 85 had videos and all that!! Eventually they destroyed his image along with the "weird shit" he was already doing. All the kids who tried to say MJ molested them ALL recanted and admitted to lying, He had a skin disease and got top dollar treatment to cure it, same thing thats happening today and nobody complains about it, but they made us believe he was just a weirdo back then, when he was doing what he always did, pioneered!! he was the 1st pop start to my knowledge to get major skin treatment lol as fucked up as it sounds he was even 1st to do that! and they hated that! black people are KNOWN to have eczema just like whit people get liver spots, its genetics! beyind that MJ is that nigga, white america loves to hate him just like OJ, they hated him even more whe he married elvis daughter and they hate him in his fuckin grave that why they push justin beiber so damn hard...say what u want but they running game on us no matter how u feel about what Im sayin jus look around you...

How do you explain the "jesus juice" comments, or the "giving a child your bed is the best gift you can give them", dude might be the greatest pop star ever but dont try to defend the weird shit he did cause you make it sound like you condone it. Whether he had sex with little kids or not its wrong to think what ever he had goin on is okay. Blame it on white media if it makes you feel better that your idol had a carnival in his back yard and admitted to sharing beds with children

No surprise, just look at the landscape in music or entertainment in general, a bunch talentless fucks but I bet if there was a Kim K. documentary or another Love & Hip Hop season the ratings would be high......no wonder why this world is going to shits......
