Neverland Ordered to Close, Moral Conflict for California Courts and Press

Michael Jackson was ordered to shut down his Neverland Ranch Thursday for failing to pay workers comp. He reportedly hasn't paid some employees this year either.

The Department of Industrial Relations issued the order which throws the California courts into upheaval. How can you have more child molestation charges and Jesus Juice if Neverland is closed?

Entering the spring news slowdown, the local press is in no way happy about this either. "If the ranch is closed, Mike won't visit. If Michael doesn't visit, there won't be any small boys. What are we going to cover, Scientology?" said reporter Hans Plinkdown.
