Michael Jackson is angered by the way he is mocked in rapper Eminem's
recently released video "Just Lose It" and has asked cable music stations to
remove the video from their rotations.

charges at the Santa Maria, Calif., courthouse, in this April 30, 2004,

costumed as Jackson and is seen with a group of boys in the background, jumping
around as he sings about Jackson's child molestation allegations: "Come here,
little kiddie, on my lap. Guess who's back with a brand new rap."
Jackson has pleaded not guilty in Santa Barbara County to child molestation,
conspiracy and administering alcohol to an underage companion.
"I am very angry at Eminem's depiction of me in his video," Jackson said
Tuesday in an interview with comedian Steve Harvey on Los Angeles radio
station 100.3 FM. "I feel that it is outrageous and disrespectful. It is one
thing to spoof, but it is another to be demeaning and insensitive."
Also in the video, Eminem ridicules plastic surgery done on Jackson's nose,
and an accident in which Jackson's hair caught fire while he was filming a Pepsi
commercial in 1984.
Only Black Entertainment Television has agreed to pull the video. The
network's president and founder, Robert Johnson, said he felt it was
inappropriate to disparage a celebrity.
