Michael Jackson's got some very rational, level-headed fans..

And then there are these folks:

Michael Jackson fans have launched a campaign calling for the superstar to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The late star's fans have flocked to sign online petitions supporting the move. They say he should be honoured for his charity work and "lifelong dedication to the well being of humanity".

So far, more than 2,000 people have added their names to the campaign started by Los Angeles student Anneliese Nichole Brown. She hopes 100,000 will lend their support for the Thriller singer who died on June 25. A similar petition has been signed by 10,000 fans.

News of the campaign is spreading virally online on sites such as Twitter. However, nominations for the peace prize are not made according to public demand. Members of governments, professors, and former winners of the prize are among those who can suggest names. The campaign would need to win the support of someone eligible to nominate to get the musician's name in the running.

  1. Coop and Tobin,

    Thank YOU for being FAIR and KIND!!
    Remember Fact over fiction...
    MJ was not convicted, and there was little to no evidence-ask LAPD.
    Guilty until proven Guilty in the U.S.?
    Hmm.
    MJ donated over $300 Million dollars to Global Charity.
    You do the math!
    Someone pleeeease ask Jordan Chandler to make a public statement!
    Or just google it!
    He admits to lying due to his father's greed.
