[ivy]

Hello All

I'm sure you all heard about the prank call Ralphige did to Michael impersonating Akon. Recently this prank call also made the news by the cease and desist notice from MJ Estate.

Ralphige who reads the reactions posted here, volunteered to do a Q&A with MJJC to answer the questions about the prank call and Michael's reaction so we can all have a better understanding of the event.

So write your questions. Please remain respectful and use this opportunity to learn more about the prank call event.

Why did you feel the need to make fun of something that was very hurtful to Michael, knowing how he would take it after he played along with the prank call when he obviously knew it wasn't Akon?

[missred07]

Why you use some hurtful and ridiculous jokes on someone who was obviously nice enough to play along with your prank call? Do you feel shameful to do something so cruel to a person? Are you dare enough to do such horrible thing to another celebrity? or you just feel it's ok because this person is MJ?

Ivy...I'm gonna have to sit this one out, because I have NOTHING good to say or ask this "thing". There's really NOTHING he can tell me that would make that crap okay. A harmless joke is one thing, but to kick someone when they're down, or kick them where it hurts, is unexcusable to me, just for kicks!! I know what I would like to kick though!!---Insert rest of phrase...good day Rasputin!

I agree, the only words that i want to hear from him are how wrong he was. There is not an excuse for what he did.

[elusive moonwalker]

Why is this person being given a forum by mjjc.sorry i think its wrong

[kindofdisco]

This is just disgusting. Why would you even do an interview with this guy? You're just giving him the attention he wants. He doesn't deserve the time or the effort of ANY of MJ's fans. Period.

[ivy]

Why? Because we thought everyone might want to learn how did that prank call happen, what did he talked with Michael afterwards, what he said etc.. Information is the power. I told Ralphige to not expect all positive and he told me that he knew and prepared for it.

[Rhilo]

Why are we giving these losers more attention? And respect them, I cannot, after what they told Michael at the end of the call. I had no problem with the call up until that point, since Michael was a prankster himself and was playing along.

So I have no questions to ask them. They don't interest me, and I'm not going to feed their hunger for more attention. Hope they read that here. buh-bye.

1. Do you think Michael Jackson was a child molester?

2. It is obvious that Michael knew from the beginning it was a prank call, he went along with it. You ended up getting fooled. Did you know Michael knew it was a prank call?

3. Why do you insist on using the name "Michael Jackson" to promote your "work"? Is calling Michael Jackson a child molester over the phone a highlight of your life?

(Not a question for Ralphige): This is exactly what he wants. As we discovered in the other thread, Ralphige informed TMZ about the letter from the Estate for some promotion and he got it. And now, here we have a Michael Jackson fan community promoting someone who joked that Michael was a child molester. Ralphige, congratulations. Your plan worked.

1. How may times have you spoken to Michael?
2. Did you also make a recording of Michael giving permission to use the clip?
3. Other than the subject of child abuse, what else do you find funny?
4. Because you chose to use the most damaging and hurtful subject to ridicule MJ as a fan I would have to draw the conclusion that you have no respect for Michael as a human being. Do you respect his achievements within the music industry?

[athina_livadi]

The more attention they get the more hurt they can cause to someone else!
Someone's dignity and pride isn't a joke, so this q&a is worthless to me!
If he wants to do something decent he can apologize, nothing else!

[soulmum]

I would ask if he was aware of the depth of feeling from Michael's own fans and anyone else who was disgusted by this stunt. Michael himself was a great prankster but it crossed the line when a question was asked which could only cause pain and embarrassment. A prank can only work when everyone laughs including the person who was caught unawares. I would ask if this guy continues to carry out such pranks with an evil intent, does he actually think it's okay. Where do you cross the line because he obviously did that!

Ivy, with all due respect, I don't think that this persons deserves any additional publicity. Yes, I totally agree that information is the power, but I would have a hard time believing any word that this person might say regarding so-called "permission" from Michael to publish the call.

[earthlyme]

I dont think its giving him publicity... It's trying to understand what goes on in the minds of ppl. who hate on Michael for the stupidest things. Now if this was Nancy Grace or Dian Demon, I wouldnt post anything. But I kinda want to know what he was thinking when he brought up the most hurtful moment in Michael's life.

1) How did you get Michael's Number?

2) What did you want to get out of prank calling Michael?

3) How did you feel when you called Michael weird and a child molester?

4) Do you always judge people you dont know or is that only reserved for Michael?

5) Do you know the charities he helped?(Why not talk about that instead of diamonds in Africa?)


Thankyou Ivy
