Michael Jackson Crosses the Road

Alright, listen up, you big brainiac. This joke is, like, super based and edgy because it plays on a super serious and dark thing. Michael Jackson, you know, the famous pop star (you probably listen to his music, you trendsetter), faced a lot of accusations about, well, being inappropriate with kids who stayed at his house. So, the first part, "To get away from the parents of the boys who stayed in his house," is a direct jab at those allegations, implying he was running from consequences. Then, the second part, "and to go to a store where boys' underwear was 1/2 off," is a messed-up double meaning. One meaning is literally a sale, like 50% off the price. But the *other*, super dark meaning, you smooth brain, is that the underwear was "half off" the boys, implying something inappropriate. Get it? It's a dark pun connecting to the awful rumors. You probably thought it was just about a sale, didn't you, you silly goose?
