With Michael Jackson's passing, we have generally heard two stories.

One of the Michael Jackson of Thriller fame, of unforgettable pop songs, of videos shot by Scorsese and Landis.  The Jackson who changed music forever.  the ultimate entertainer who could dance and sing like no one else.

The other story is of Whacko Jacko, the suspected pedophile, living in seclusion luring kids over with his personal playgroud and "Jesus Juice" and secret security alarms and hidden passageways.  The crazy man who dangled his kid from a balcony and covered them in blankets whenever they were in public.

Was Jackson the biggest icon of our generation or did he deserve to be outcast from society?  Which one was he?  Both?

In short, is Jackson deserving of our nation's biggest honor?

The question is:

Does Michael Jackson deserve to be sculpted in butter?
