Michael Jackson is putting up more than 2,000 of his personal items up for auction in April. And while Julien’s Auctions has published only two of the five books detailing the goods, there are already plenty of intriguing purchases to consider. Antique rugs, dressers, tables, chairs, swords, china sets are all available at reasonable opening prices. And for as low as $100, you may be able to acquire one of Michael’s many creepy-ass statues of naked children. There are more than enough to go around.
Sure, the decanter decorated with a baby orgy may be $1,000-2,000, but for a tenth of that amount you can entertain party guests with a beguiling figurine of two children hugging. You’ll be the envy of your friends! Financial ruin may be forcing Michael to sell off his legacy, but a tiny, creepy-ass piece of it could live on in your home.
Check out some of our favorite pieces—including that decanter with the baby orgy on it—in the gallery below.

“Please, please” leave the man alone. Seems you all, “have nothing”, better to do than, make something from nothing. “Always stirring the pot”. Like one of Micheals hits, “YOU GOTTA BE STARTE N SOMETHING”, no `_#&_^&()%~*)!+@ Thats all I ever hear, is how bad Micheal Jackson is, “WHAT ABOUT YOU, FOR TALKING ALL THIS SMACK, ABOUT HIM, AGAIN!!!! I still love Micheal, faults and all. Anyone “CAN” change, if they want it bad enough. Another one of his hits, “HEAL THE WORLD, MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE, FOR YOU AND FOR ME, AND THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE”. Thats a wonderful song!! “CLEAN YOUR OWN BACKYARD, B4 YOU GO TRYING TO CLEAN SOMEONE ELSES.!! For heaven’s sake, leave the man alone. Remember this one thing, “WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES BACK AROUND”.

Personally, I think some of Miccio’s “witty” references to “rods” and “cocks” and “doing it wrong” suggest creepier things about the way Miccio’s mind works than Jackson’s.

Is it just my imagination or are all of these pretty normal and tame as far as for artwork goes? I have seen stuff that is more “questionable” statues (by your standards, anyhow) in the garden center of my local Wal-Mart than I saw in any of the auction catalogs. As far as the decanter goes, according to the auction catalog, it was done by an artist who lived from 1867-1920. In response to your comment specifically about it, I don’t think he could have asked the artist to do the decanter considering the artist died long before he was even born.

I understand that this is humorous, but I really wish you’d not make leaps about the meaning of these objects. Whether or not Michael Jackson is a pedophile has nothing to do with these items being auctioned. Leave Michael Jackson ALONE!!!

they are completely harmless

This kind of collection is pretty common amongst pedophiles. As well has having a wealth of hardcore kiddie porn, which no one ever sees, they also tend to collect softcore crap like this. Most of which is schmaltzy to the point of diabetes. If he’s not a closet pedophile, then he’s a 65 year old grandmother living in Florida. Plus–who the hell collects images of himself portrayed as a messiah-figure?

Michael is rich and famous,and everybody knows celebrities like him can get away with anything. I am not saying he is a pedophile,i am just saying i know for sure that if my uncle Paul was having these stuffs in his house and was doing and saying the things Michael does and says,my uncle Paul would be locked up by now.
But hey,Michael can buy anyone’s silence.
Oops,did i just say that? Ooh i know some of the real idolising-hard-fans are gonna throw cyber eggs at me…!
Wait,do I care? ummm……nope.

If Michael is guilty of anything for these artworks, it’s having bad taste. I mean porcelain miniatures? Reminds me of my grandmothers house…

boy i wish i purchased any of that crap now!
July 7th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
I LOVE YOU MICHAEL! On behalf of what he would have wanted… take this thing down… everyone knows Michael #1 is the best, #2 is kind,shy,careful. #3 asked the media to leave him alone. AND on behalf of me…. LEAVE THE KING ALONE. EVERYONE KNOWS THE KING DOES NOT WANT THIS, HE SAID HIMSELF TO PLEASE LEAVE HIM ALONE. as a tribute to him take this down damit!

what a disgusting insinuation. there is nothing inherently sexual about these statues. mj is not a pedophile. did you post this just so you could get hits on your website? shame on you for spreading tabloid news trash.
