lol. I love the slightly surreal things that come up on my work-related mailing lists sometimes:

I think that it is a real stretch to apply A.19A2 to the work in hand, since Michael Jackson is not (generally) regarded as a deity. The work is suggesting that he was a angel, which is not the same thing as a deity. Additionally, there is no ambiguity in the title: the him is no one other than Michael Jackson.
"Not generally regarded as a deity". Lol. And of course, this said with a straight and detached face; why, it's merely the example in hand. No significance.
