All the world's just more decoration

I hope this will be the ONLY Michael Jackson-related posting. Ever.

If you've happened to notice, on any of the ubiquitous news fottage of Jackson entering the courthouse for his child molestation trial, he wears a suit with some sort of emblem or medal on the breast pocket. Turns out it's a real medal, and the Austrians are pissed. He probably just thought it was some trinket, but it's a medal awarded to eminent artists and others in Austria, perhaps a bit like the French Legion of Honor. And he hasn't been awarded it. No doubt he thinks the world just exists as his bauble, but this is a particularly shameless example. I'll bet he couldn't even find Austria on a map.
