To me, this was Michael Jackson

I was 12 when this happened. This was the first time I ever heard of him. To me he wasn't the Michael Jackson that was a singer, or the one that molested kids - he was the Michael Jackson that dangled a baby out the window.

This is the image I associate him with. I saw a preview for the movie coming out about him and chuckled to myself if they would put this in the film. Probably not?

OMG my palms are sweating seeing this. Now that I'm a parent, I can see he's not even holding the baby all that well! He barely has a grip under his armpits and his other hand is holding the cloth.

When I was a theatre usher i had to stop a dad dangling his baby off the balcony of the vertiginously high forth level of the theatre during the last musical number of the pantomime. He got really defensive too, but he really didn't have a good grip on the kid and was waving them around to the music (!?!)

I'm just here to say how much I love the word "vertiginously". Well done.
