| WASHINGTON: The United States Congress has voted to increase funding into discovering more about the mystery illness that has stricken Pop Performer Michael Jackson over the past twenty years. Capital Hill has set aside $40 Million dollars to aid researchers investigating the illness, which many refer to as Michael Jackson Disease.
The Medical Community have been confused by the illness which has plagued Jackson since the early 1980's. The illness has caused massive disfigurement to Jackson's nose, eyes, ears and face, rendering him almost unrecognisable to close friends and family members and scaring little children who happen to catch a glimpse of the now reclusive singer. Dermatology experts are at a loss to describe what may have caused the debilitating illness, although some feel that it may have been triggered by stress associated with maintaining a career as multi-platinum selling pop star. Dermatologists also fear that the disease may be contagious with many residents who live near Jackson's Los Angeles home - including stars Diana Ross and Little Richard - developing symptoms not dissimilar to those of Jackson.
