Culture Club and Michael Jackson hauled in a million dollars worth of publicity. What does this collection of shining 'talent' add up to? Boy George, the 'prize in the cornflakes box' tries his best to look like a girl. But he doesn't sound like one. Michael Jackson, on the other hand, doesn't look like a girl (actually he looks like your typical Brooklyn greaser) but he does his best to sound like one. The popular press has reported that MJ doesn't get involved in the usual recreational drug scene. He does, however, keep hopped up on estrogen to keep his voice from changing. What does it all prove? 'Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.' Also, lots of people will do just about anything for money.
