Neverland no more...

From here:

Jacko Closes Neverland For Good

Michael Jackson has shut down his Neverland Ranch for good. Employees were summoned to the ranch this afternoon in staggered groups, given back pay for 12 weeks through today, and were told the ranch had been shut down by the California Department of Labor.

In fact, Jackson made the decision to lay off more than 60 loyal staffers after making them wait through three months with no pay. Their health insurance ran out on February 28th. Last week, the State closed the ranch because Jackson carried no workmen's compensation.



I'm kind of wondering what will become of all the animals there. I'm sure that Bubbles the chimp is bummed...


Not to mention all those poor kids with nothing to do now that the ranch is closed.
