Nearly bankrupt due to Sony exploitation and under-promotion, Michael Jackson was forced to sell more than two dozen of his beloved pet giraffes to exotic-meat suppliers Monday. 'I will greatly miss Patches and Princess and the other giraffes,' Jackson said in a statement read by his lawyer. 'But Tommy Mottola has cruelly left me with no choice but to pawn off some of my dearest friends in order to survive.' Jackson's financial situation is reportedly so dire that he's also had to make do with a bargain-brand anal bleach.
