Si esto ha creado debate entre nosotros no me quiero imaginar la que se montará en los medios:jajaja: :jajaja: :jajaja:
Jesucristo y Michael son totalmente comparables, desde mi punto de vista en el sentido de que ambos prodigaban el "amor al projimo". Jesús era un humano más al que le putearon. Vivan los ateos!! ( vivan! )

Michael Jackson Interviews Pharrell Williams – Complete Text - Part One:
Michael Jackson: Hello?
Pharrell Williams: Hello! How are you man?
MJ: You must forgive me, but Gregory Peck, who just died yesterday, was a very dear friend of mine, and I’ve been helping his wife prepare the memorial and all those things. So please forgive me for being late with this call.
PW: No, listen, man, I can’t believe I’m on the phone with you.
MJ: Oh, God bless you.
PW: Thank you, sir. You too.
MJ: Thank you. So, I’m interviewing you, right? And I think it’s seven questions, or something lime that?
PW: Sure. Whatever you like.
MJ: Okay. What would you say inspires you in your music? What is it that inspires you to create your music.
PW: It’s a feeling. You treat the air as a canvas and the paint is the chords that come through your fingers, out of the keyboard. So when I’m playing, I’m sort of painting a feeling in the air. I know that might sound corny, but-
MJ: -No. No, that’s a perfect analogy.
PW: And when you know it’s done, you know it’s done. It’s like painting or sculpting. When you let it go it’s because you know that it’s finished. It’s completed. And vice versa-it tells you, “Hey, I’m done.”
MJ: Yeah. And it refuses to let you sleep until it’s finished.
PW: That’s right.
MJ: Yeah, I go through the same thing. [laughs] And what do you think of the music today-are you into the new sounds that are being created and the direction that music is going?
PW: Well, personally, I kind of feel like I’m taking notes from people like yourself and Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway, and just sort of doing what feels right.
MJ: Right.
PW: You know, like when everyone was going one way, you went Off The Wall.
MJ: Right. [laughs]
PW: And when everyone else was going another way, you went Thriller. You just did it your way. And I’m taking notes from people like yourself, like not being afraid to listen to your feelings and turn your aspirations and ambitions into material. Making it happen, making it materialize.
MJ: That’s beautiful. That’s lovely. You said that very well. I wanted to ask you-do you feel, the way I do, that it’s almost like pregnancy, giving birth? Writing a song is like having a child, and once the song is finished, it’s like letting the child into the world. Do you ever feel like that, like it’s hard to let go?
PW: You know what? I did an interview the other day to present a video, and I was afraid to let it go. That was for a video, but the video to me is like the second part of the song because it is the interpretation given in a visual perspective. So, yes, I completely feel that way. And it’s like sometimes if you play something to people and they don’t get it, it’s like your child who’s done something and everyone is pointing fingers and you’re like, “Wait! This is my kid!” Now, I’m not a father, but I imagine that’s the way it would be-at least that’s how I feel about my songs.
MJ: Right. Now the different forms of music/popular-culture music/that the black race has been responsible for bringing in, ushering in, from jazz to pop to rock-n-roll to hip hop, you name it, what do you think all that is about? Is it given from God?
PW: I think all music is a gift from God. And-[a fan interrupts] Michael, can you hold on for one second? [Williams talks to a fan for a few seconds, then resumes talking to Jackson] Sorry.
MJ: [laughs] Blues, rock-n-roll, all the different forms of popular music-like rock-n-roll was invented by Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino.
PW: Absolutely.
MJ: Even the dances from the cakewalk to the Charleston, the popping, the breaking, the locking. Don’t you think they’re a gift from God?
PW: Absolutely. God gave us that gift when he gave us the gift of interpretation. I mean, when you write your lyrics, you’re writing to someone, or to the world. When you’re playing, you’re playing something for the world to hear. When you’re dancing, you’re dancing for people to see. It’s just a form of expression. And the there are times when you might be a little more introverted about it, when you’re dancing, writing, or playing for yourself, and you have no idea how amazing what you’re doing looks, sounds, or feels, until somebody else tells you, or until you record it and go back and look at it.
MJ: That’s right. Who are some of the older artists-not the artists on the radio today-who inspired you when you were younger? Like the artists your father listened to, did you learn anything from those artists?
PW: Absolutely. The Isley Brothers.
MJ: Yeah, me too. I love the Isley Brothers. And I love Sly & the Family Stone.
PW: Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder…
MJ: You like all the people I like. [laughs]
PW: Those chord changes. They take you away.
MJ: Beautiful, beautiful. Okay, well where are you? In New York?
PW: I’m in Virginia Beach, Virginia, sir.
MJ: Virginia! Oh, beautiful. Will you give my love to Virginia?
PW: Yes. Thankyou.
MJ: And your mother and your parents? Because God has blessed you with special gifts.
PW: Thank you, sir. And I just wanted to say something, and I don’t know if you want to hear this, but I have to say it because it’s on my heart. But people bother you-
MJ: -Yeah.
PW: -Because they love you. That’s the only reason why. When you do something that people don’t necessarily understand, they’re going to make it into a bigger problem than they would for anybody else because one of the most amazing talents that’s ever lived. You’ve accomplished and achieved more in this century than most other men.
MJ: Well, thank you very much. That’s very kind of you.
PW: What you do is so amazing. When you are 100 years old, and they’re still making up things about what you’ve done to this and what you’ve done to that on your body-please believe me, if you decided you wanted to dip your whole body in chrome, you are so amazing that the world, no matter what they say, is going to be right there to see it. And that is because of what you have achieved in the music world, and in changing people’s lives. People are having children to your songs. You’ve affected the world.
MJ: Thank you very much. It’s like the bigger the star, the bigger the target. You know when you’re-and I’m not being a braggadocio or anything like that-but you know you’re on top when they start throwing arrows at you. Even Jesus was crucified. People who bring light into the world, from Mahatma Gandhi to Martin Luther King to Jesus Christ, even myself. And my motto has been Heal the World, We are the world, Earth Song, Save Our Children, Help Our Planet. And people want to persecute me for it, but it never hurts, because the fan base becomes stronger. I’m resilient. I have rhinoceros skin. Nothing can hurt me. Nothing.
PW: Well, that’s precisely my point. I just want to let you know you’re amazing, man. What you do to music, from “Billie Jean” to “That’s What You Get (For Being Polite)”-[sings “That’s what you get for being polite”].
MJ: Oh, you know that one? [laughs]
PW: [sings “Jack still sits all alone”]
MJ: Boy, you know all those ones.
PW: When you do that, you do that to the world.
[resumes singing “Jack still sits all alone”]
MJ: [hums a guitar riff]
PW: If I never work with you, just know that you are unstoppable. That’s why I said, when you’re 100 years old and you decide to dip your entire body in chrome, as much as they say things-and I don’t care what they say about you, sir- they’re going to be right there to see it.
MJ: There’s a lot of jealousy there. I love all races, I love all people, but sometimes there’s a devil in people, and they get jealous. Every time there’s a luminary that goes beyond the heights of his field of endeavor, people tend to get jealous and try to bring him down. But they can’t with me because I’m very, very, very, strong. [laughs] They don’t know that, though.
PW: They know! Please believe me, they know!
MJ: Anyone else would’ve cracked by now; they can’t crack me. I’m very strong.
PW: Of course. They couldn’t crack you when you were 10, because you were destroying grown men doing what you did with your voice and your talent. And when you were 20, you were outdoing people that had been doing it for 20 or 30 years. And nowadays they’re still waiting to see where you’re at. They want to see your kids, they want to see your world. You’re amazing, and I just wanted to tell you that, man. And I hope that this all gets printed because it’s very important to me. I hope I can be half as dope as you one day.
MJ: Oh, God bless you. You’re wonderful, too. Thank you so much.
PW: Thank you, man.
MJ: Have a lovely day.
PW: You too, sir.
MJ: Thank you. Bye.
PW: Bye.

Writing a song is like having a child, and once the song is finished, it’s like letting the child into the world. Do you ever feel like that, like it’s hard to let go?
PW: You know what? I did an interview the other day to present a video, and I was afraid to let it go. That was for a video, but the video to me is like the second part of the song because it is the interpretation given in a visual perspective. So, yes, I completely feel that way. And it’s like sometimes if you play something to people and they don’t get it, it’s like your child who’s done something and everyone is pointing fingers and you’re like, “Wait! This is my kid!” Now, I’m not a father, but I imagine that’s the way it would be-at least that’s how I feel about my songs.
MJ: Right. Now the different forms of music/popular-culture music/that the black race has been responsible for bringing in, ushering in, from jazz to pop to rock-n-roll to hip hop, you name it, what do you think all that is about? Is it given from God?
PW: I think all music is a gift from God. And-[a fan interrupts] Michael, can you hold on for one second? [Williams talks to a fan for a few seconds, then resumes talking to Jackson] Sorry.
MJ: [laughs] Blues, rock-n-roll, all the different forms of popular music-like rock-n-roll was invented by Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino.
PW: Absolutely.
MJ: Even the dances from the cakewalk to the Charleston, the popping, the breaking, the locking. Don’t you think they’re a gift from God?
PW: Absolutely. God gave us that gift when he gave us the gift of interpretation. I mean, when you write your lyrics, you’re writing to someone, or to the world. When you’re playing, you’re playing something for the world to hear. When you’re dancing, you’re dancing for people to see. It’s just a form of expression. And the there are times when you might be a little more introverted about it, when you’re dancing, writing, or playing for yourself, and you have no idea how amazing what you’re doing looks, sounds, or feels, until somebody else tells you, or until you record it and go back and look at it.
MJ: That’s right. Who are some of the older artists-not the artists on the radio today-who inspired you when you were younger? Like the artists your father listened to, did you learn anything from those artists?
PW: Absolutely. The Isley Brothers.
MJ: Yeah, me too. I love the Isley Brothers. And I love Sly & the Family Stone.
PW: Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder…
MJ: You like all the people I like. [laughs]
MJ: You like all the people I like. [laughs]
PW: Those chord changes. They take you away.
MJ: Beautiful, beautiful. Okay, well where are you? In New York?
PW: I’m in Virginia Beach, Virginia, sir.
MJ: Virginia! Oh, beautiful. Will you give my love to Virginia?
PW: Yes. Thankyou.
MJ: And your mother and your parents? Because God has blessed you with special gifts.
PW: Thank you, sir. And I just wanted to say something, and I don’t know if you want to hear this, but I have to say it because it’s on my heart. But people bother you-
MJ: -Yeah.
PW: -Because they love you. That’s the only reason why. When you do something that people don’t necessarily understand, they’re going to make it into a bigger problem than they would for anybody else because one of the most amazing talents that’s ever lived. You’ve accomplished and achieved more in this century than most other men.
MJ: Well, thank you very much. That’s very kind of you.
PW: What you do is so amazing. When you are 100 years old, and they’re still making up things about what you’ve done to this and what you’ve done to that on your body-please believe me, if you decided you wanted to dip your whole body in chrome, you are so amazing that the world, no matter what they say, is going to be right there to see it. And that is because of what you have achieved in the music world, and in changing people’s lives. People are having children to your songs. You’ve affected the world.
MJ: Thank you very much. It’s like the bigger the star, the bigger the target. You know when you’re-and I’m not being a braggadocio or anything like that-but you know you’re on top when they start throwing arrows at you. Even Jesus was crucified. People who bring light into the world, from Mahatma Gandhi to Martin Luther King to Jesus Christ, even myself. And my motto has been Heal the World, We are the world, Earth Song, Save Our Children, Help Our Planet. And people want to persecute me for it, but it never hurts, because the fan base becomes stronger. I’m resilient. I have rhinoceros skin. Nothing can hurt me. Nothing.
PW: Well, that’s precisely my point. I just want to let you know you’re amazing, man. What you do to music, from “Billie Jean” to “That’s What You Get (For Being Polite)”-[sings “That’s what you get for being polite”].
MJ: Oh, you know that one? [laughs]
PW: [sings “Jack still sits all alone”]
MJ: Boy, you know all those ones.
PW: When you do that, you do that to the world.
[resumes singing “Jack still sits all alone”]
MJ: [hums a guitar riff]
PW: If I never work with you, just know that you are unstoppable. That’s why I said, when you’re 100 years old and you decide to dip your entire body in chrome, as much as they say things-and I don’t care what they say about you, sir- they’re going to be right there to see it.
MJ: There’s a lot of jealousy there. I love all races, I love all people, but sometimes there’s a devil in people, and they get jealous. Every time there’s a luminary that goes beyond the heights of his field of endeavor, people tend to get jealous and try to bring him down. But they can’t with me because I’m very, very, very, strong. [laughs] They don’t know that, though.
PW: They know! Please believe me, they know!
MJ: Anyone else would’ve cracked by now; they can’t crack me. I’m very strong.
PW: Of course. They couldn’t crack you when you were 10, because you were destroying grown men doing what you did with your voice and your talent. And when you were 20, you were outdoing people that had been doing it for 20 or 30 years. And nowadays they’re still waiting to see where you’re at. They want to see your kids, they want to see your world. You’re amazing, and I just wanted to tell you that, man. And I hope that this all gets printed because it’s very important to me. I hope I can be half as dope as you one day.
MJ: Oh, God bless you. You’re wonderful, too. Thank you so much.
PW: Thank you, man.
MJ: Have a lovely day.
PW: You too, sir.
MJ: Thank you. Bye.
PW: Bye.

Hay que ver como se barnizan el uno al otro... Esto puede dar a entender que finalmente trabajaran juntos.
Ha sido una grata sorpresa que Pharell destacase "That's What You Get For Being Polite". Es un dato a tener en cuenta y que da algo mas de fé en una posible colaboracion entre ambos.
Curiosa entrevista de Michael, por cierto...

Este post aquí y yo sin verlo... :mueveojos
Michael habla y zas! ya se lia, cuándo será el día en que éste hombre pueda hablar de forma libre sin que nadie rebusque entre sus palabras. Siempre buscando algo malo... es increible.
Michael no hace ninguna analogia sobre nadie, ni creo que se compare con Jesús... en fin, lo que yo entiendo es que busca la similitud entre dos situaciones que guardan bastantes parecidos en cuanto a determinados acontecimientos puntuales.
No encuentro, objetivamente, ningún artísta que sea tan mal tratado como Michael en toda la historia por no hacer NADA, salvo dedicarse a trabajar y vivir su vida de la forma más inocente y amorosa que conozco.
No encuentro, objetivamente, ningún personaje histórico que sea tan mal tratado como Jesucristo en toda la historia por no hacer nada, salvo predicar sus creencias.
Asi que yo como Michael encuentro que tienen bastantes cosas en común.
No entiendo por qué hay que meterse tanto con Michael :|

Michael Jackson entrevista a Pharrell Williams
Michael Jackson: ¿Hola?
Pharrell Williams: ¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás tio?
MJ: Tienes que perdonarme, pero Gregory Peck, que murio ayer mismo, era un muy querido amigo, y he estado ayudando a su esposa a preparar el funeral y todas esas cosas. Así que, por favor, perdoname por llamarte tarde.
PW: No, escucha, tio, no me puedo creer que esté contigo en el teléfono.
MJ: Oh, que Dios te bendiga.
PW: Gracias, señor. También a ti.
MJ: Gracias. Entonces, yo te entrevisto a ti ¿no? Y creo que son siete preguntas, ¿o algo así?
PW: Si. Cómo quieras.
MJ: OK. ¿Qué es lo que te inspira en tu música? ¿Qué es lo que te inspira a crear tu música?
PW: Es un sentimiento. Coges el aire como tu lienzo y la pintura son las notas que salen de tus dedos, fuera del teclado. Cuando estoy tocando, es como si pintara un sentimiento en el aire. Puede que suene cursi, pero...
MJ: No. No, esa analogía es perfecta.
PW: Y cuando sabes que está terminado, sabes que está hecho. Es como pintar o esculpir. Cuando lo dejas ir es porque sabes que está terminado. Está completo. Y viceversa, te lo dice, "Hey, estoy terminado".
MJ: Si. Y no permite que duermas hasta que está terminado
PW: Exacto.
MJ: Si, a mi me pasa lo mismo. (Risas) Y ¿qué piensas de la música actual? ¿estás metido en los nuevos sonidos que se están haciendo y en la dirección que la música está tomando?
PW: Bien, personalmente, me siento como tomando apuntes de gente como tú mismo y Stevie Wonder y Donny Hathaway, y haciendo lo que veo correcto.
MJ: Bien.
PW: ¿Sabes? como cuando todos van por un camino y tu haces 'Off The Wall'.
MJ: Correcto. [Risas]
PW: Y cuando todos van por otro camino, y tu hacesThriller. Simplemente lo hiciste a tu manera. Y yo estoy tomando apuntes de gente como tú, sin temor a escuchar tus sentimientos y convertir en materiales tus aspiraciones y ambiciones. Hacer que ocurran, materializarlas.
MJ: Eso es precioso. Es adorable. Lo has dicho muy bien. Quiero preguntarte si te sientes, al igual que yo, como si esto fuera casi un embarazo, como dando a luz. Escribir un tema es como tener un niño, y una vez el tema está terminado, es como dejar que el niño salga al mundo. ¿Te has sentido así alguna vez, viendo lo duro que es dejarlo ir?
PW: ¿Sabes una cosa? Hice una entrevista el otro día para presentar un video y tuve miedo de dejarlo ir. Era un video, pero el video para mi es como la segunda parte de la canción porque es la interpretación que le da una perspectiva visual. Por lo que, si, me siento así completamente. Y es como, a veces cuando tocas algo para gente y no lo pillan, es como si tu hijo que ha hecho algo y todo el mundo le señala con el dedo y te quedas como '¡Esperad! ¡Es mi niño!' Por ahora no soy padre, pero imagino que esa es la manera en que se sentirá, al menos como siento con relación a mis canciones.
MJ: Correcto. La raza negra ha sido responsable de sacar las distintas formas de música popular y la cultura de la música, desde el jazz al pop, del rock and roll al hip hop a lo que se te ocurra, ¿por qué crees que esto? ¿ha sido dado por Dios?
PW: Creo que toda la música es un regalo de Dios. Y... (un fan de Williams interrumpe la conversación) Michael, ¿puedes esperar un momento? (Williams habla unos segundos con el fan y sigue con Jackson). Perdona.
MJ: (Risas) Blues, rock-n-roll, y todas las formas de música popular como el rock-n-roll fueron inventadas por Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino.
PW: Absolutamente.
MJ: Incluso los bailes desde el cakewalk al Charleston, el popping, el breaking, el locking. ¿No crees que son un regalo de Dios?
PW: Absolutamente. Dios nos dió ese regalo cuando nos dió el don de la interpretación. Quiero decir, cuando compones una letra, estás escribiendo para alguien, o para el mundo. Cuando estás tocando, tocas algo para que lo escuche el mundo. Cuando estás bailando, bailas para lo vea la gente. Es una forma de expresión. Y hay veces cuando te muestras un poco más introvertido, cuando estás bailando, escribiendo o tocando para ti mismo, y no tienes ni idea de lo impresionante que es lo que haces, como suenas o lo que sientes, hasta que alguien te lo dice, o hasta que lo grabas y luego lo ves.
MJ: Es cierto. ¿Quiénes son algunos de los artistas, no los que suenan hoy en la radio, que te han inspirado cuando eras más joven? Como los artistas a los que escuchaba tu padre, ¿aprendiste algo de esos artistas?
PW: Absolutamente. Los Isley Brothers.
MJ: Si, yo también. Adoro a los Isley Brothers. Y adoro a Sly & the Family Stone.
PW: Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder…
MJ: Te gusta la misma gente que a mi. [Risas]
PW: Todos esos cambios de notas. Te hacen alucinar.
MJ: Precioso, precioso. OK, bueno ¿dónde estas? ¿en New York?
PW: Estoy en Virginia Beach, Virginia, señor.
MJ: ¡Virginia! Oh, precioso. ¿Puedes dar recuerdos con mi amor a Virginia?
PW: Si. Gracias.
MJ: ¿Y tu madre? ¿y tus padres? Porque Dios te ha bendecido con dones especiales.
PW: Gracias, señor. Quiero decir algo, y no sé si quieres escucharlo, pero tengo que decirlo porque está en mi corazón. Pero la gente te molesta.
MJ: Si.
PW: Porque la gente te quiere. Esa es la única razón. Cuando haces algo que la gente no necesariamente entiende, ellos lo convierten en un problema mucho mayor de lo que sería para cualquier otro, porque eres uno de los talentos más impresionantes que jamás haya vivido. Has conseguido más reconocimientos en este siglo que muchos otros hombres.
MJ: Bueno, muchisimas gracias. Eso es muy amable por tu parte.
PW: Lo que has hecho es impresionante. Cuando tengas 100 años, y se sigan inventando cosas sobre lo que si hiciste eso o hiciste aquello en el cuerpo, por favor, creeme, si decidieras cubrir todo tu cuerpo de cromo, eres tan impresionante, que el mundo, no importa lo que digan, va a estar ahí para verlo. Y eso es por todo lo que tú has conseguido en el mundo de la música y cambiando la vida de la gente. La gente tiene ha tenido hijos con tus canciones. Has dejado huella en el mundo.
MJ: Muchisimas gracias. Cuando más grande es la estrella, mayor es el objetivo a abatir. Sabes cuando lo eres, y no estoy siendo un fanfarrón ni nada parecido, pero sabes que estás en lo más alto cuando empiezan a lanzarte flechas. Incluso Jesus fue crucificado. La gente que trae luz al mundo, desde Mahatma Gandhi a Martin Luther King a Jesuscristo o incluso a mi mismo. Y mi motivación ha sido Cura al mundo, Nosotros somos el mundo, La canción de la Tierra, Salva a nuestro niños, Ayuda a nuestro planeta. Y la gente quiere perseguirme por ello, pero no me duele, porque mi base de fans se hace más fuerte. Soy elástico. Tengo piel de rinoceronte. Nada puede hacerme daño. Nada.
PW: Bien, ese es precisamente mi punto de vista. Sólo quiero que sepas que eres impresionante, tio. Lo que has hecho en la música desde “Billie Jean” hasta “That’s What You Get (For Being Polite)” (canta... “That’s what you get for being polite”).
MJ: Oh, ¿conoces esa? (risas)
PW: [canta “Jack still sits all alone”]
MJ: Chico, conoces todas esas.
PW: Cuando haces eso, lo haces para el mundo. (acaba de cantar “Jack still sits all alone”)
MJ: [imita un riff de guitarra]
PW: Si no trabajo nunca contigo, quiero que sepas que eres imparable. Por eso digo que cuando tengas 100 años y decidas cubrir tu cuerpo de cromo, por mucho que digan cosas, no me importa lo que cuenten, señor, todos van a estar ahí mismo para verlo.
MJ: Hay muchos celos. Amo a todas las razas, quiero a toda la gente, pero a veces hay maldad en la gente, y se hacen envidiosos. Cada vez que hay una luminaria que se alza por encima de su campo, la gente tiende a tener envidia e intenta hacerle caer. Pero no pueden conmigo porque soy muy, muy, muy fuerte. (Risas) Creo que no lo saben.
PW: ¡Lo saben! Por favor, creeme, lo saben.
MJ: Cualquier otro ya se hubiera hundido; no pueden machacarme. Soy muy fuerte.
PW: Por supuesto. No pudieron machacarte cuando tenías 10, porque estabas destruyendo el crecimiento de un hombre haciendo lo que hacías con tu voz y tu talento. Y cumpliste los 20, y lo hacías mejor que llevaba haciendolo 20 o 30 años. Y todavía están esperando a ver hasta donde puedes llegar. Quieren ver a tus hijos, quieren ver tu mundo. Eres impresionante, y quiero decirte esto, tio. Y espero que todo esto salga publicado porque es muy importante para mi. Espero que yo llegue a ser la mitad de 'crack' de lo que tu fuiste un día.
MJ: Oh, Dios te bendiga. Tú también eres maravilloso. Muchas gracias.
PW: Gracias, tio.
MJ: Pasa un buen día.
PW: Tú también, señor.
MJ: Gracias. Adios.
PW: Adios.

Bueno, esto ya es muy fuerte!
¿¿¿de que DEMONIOS nos sirve a los fans conocer a Michael??? ¿¿DE NADA????
A decir verdad parece que hay fans que no deben conocerle muy bien....
Me parece increible que todavia haya fans que creen que Michael se considera Jesucristo.... :mueveojos Hay que conocerle muy poquito para pensar eso.
Desde luego, lo mas facil en todo esto, en el papel de ser fan de michael, es NO querer entender sus palabras como en realidad son.
¿Sabeis quien adopta esa actitud facil?
LA PRENSA
Que pena
