Michael Jackson had better be careful on vacation:

MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) -- Pop star Michael Jackson began a vacation on the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom of Bahrain, looking for privacy and relaxing in a secret location somewhere in this archipelago, his royal host said Thursday.

He can thank his brother for the getaway destination: Jermaine Jackson is a close friend of Bahrain's royal family.

Does anybody know what the punishment for child molestation is in Bahrain? They cut things off if you break the law there don't they? Jack-o had better keep his pants zipped around the kiddies or he could wind up in a world of hurt. On second thought... maybe children in the U.S. would be safer if he did get caught doing something there.
