Dear MJJC Family,

It has come to our attention that there is something else we need to address. Please refer the information below:

Apparently there is a website called Urban Dictionary. Another advocate for justice pointed out that the top definition of "pedophile" on Urban Dictionary is as follows:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pedophile

You'll notice this dates from 2004 and that Thumbs Up outnumber Thumbs Down by nearly 3000. We don't want to draw attention to this horrible, disgusting entry at Urban Dictionary; however, we need to somehow get it removed from the website.

We are asking with your dedicated assistance and that of any other trusted MJ fans you think would keep this on the down-low, that you try the suggested option denoted below:


  • We can be "editors" and ask to remove it. The problem is that you are not able to remove a description that is rated as "number one”. One way to address this would be to rate this description with a “thumbs down”. Additionally, you can then rate the next description (number 2) with a “thumbs up”. Once this awful description falls down to number 2, at that point it can be deleted. .

An email was sent to the webmaster kindly asking him/her to remove it himself. There is not a lot of hope that it will be removed; however, we will see.

You are not able to submit multiple votes by refreshing the page, unfortunately; however, you CAN vote 2-3 times per day per computer, PC, laptop, mobile device, etc. If we ALL do this STEADILY, we can rid Urban Dictionary of this travesty.


As always we thank you for your efforts to help defend, protect, preserve and honor Michael’s legacy.

Our best,

Dear MJJC Family,

We have additional information coming in on the continuous effort needed on Urban Dictionary. Please see below:

There is a lot of work to do on Urban Dictionary. Several people have noticed that "pedophile" and "molester" are not the only problems on the website. There is also reference to "Michael Jackson" as well. Unfortunately, we cannot have these "definitions" removed altogether in one fell swoop because they are currently "too popular."

Below is the recommended approach:

1.) BOOKMARK the offending words and look down the list of definitions for the offensive ones (suggested #s below next to link.) VOTE TWICE PER DAY, or more from different computers/mobile devices. Here are the links you need:

pedophile (here there are 13 references to Michael: #s 1, 9, 20, 25, 41, 52, 57, 58, 59, 63, 70, 73, 82, 88)
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pedophile

pedo (# 7) We're almost even on Thumbs Up and Down on this one!
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pedo

molester ( #3)
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=molester

molest (#'s 1, 6, 8, 9, 10)
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=molest

Michael Jackson (VOTE DOWN #s 1, 2, 5, 7; VOTE UP #s 4, 6, 11, 12)
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=michael jackson&page=2

2.) CONTACT Urban Dictionary repeatedly at
http://www.urbandictionary.com/feedback.php

Ask them to REMOVE these definitions and tell them why: use of someone's proper name; it's slander; he has a family; many fans who find it very offensive.

3.) REQUEST to have the definitions removed (this will only happen when they are less popular.) The link to be an editor to remove them is http://www.urbandictionary.com/editor/remove.php. This same link can be found at the bottom of any UD page.

Thank you for your dedication to this cause and please make it a part of your daily routine until we meet with victory!


As always we thank you for your efforts to help defend, protect, preserve and honor Michael’s legacy.

Our best,
