Jackson wore a Serbian medal of merit upside-down to his arraignment on child-molestation charges, infuriating some Serb veterans. The Order of the White Eagle is given for "brave behavior on battlefields," a historian told the Belgrade newspaper Blic. Braving a phalanx of paparazzi doesn't count...
