I was recently watching the 100 greatest videos on VH1, and they mention that
Michael Jackson's Black or White featured cameos by Macauly Culkin (sp?) and
Bart Simpson. I've never seen the version that has Bart in it, so could
someone tell me what that's all about?

I also recently rewatched some old Simpsons tapes with a friend of mine, and
one of them was the episode where Homer's commited to a mental institution and
meets "Michael Jackson." Since my friend didn't tape the credits, I don't know
if this really was Michael Jackson or just an impression. So, was it really
Michael jackson? Thanks in advance.

Please just call me Mike instead of VertigoDC.

I'm not sure about the video, but MJ did his actual voice, but someone else sang
the singing part becasue MJ's contract said he couldn't sing for another company.

I believe the Simpsons clip is in the outro of the video (which is often not
shown on tv)...

Yes, it really was Michael Jackson. And his name *did* appear in the
credits.

After the several minutes of Michael Jackson masturbating and smashing up cars, he
turns back into a panther and the camera zooms out to reveal the Simpsons TV. It
then shows Bart jumping up and down on the couch to the main guitar riff. Homer
comes in eating a banana and tells him to turn it off. Bart tells him "don't have a
cow, homeboy" or something, and Homer grabs the remote and points it at "us" and
pushes the button. We see static. The end.
