Michael Jackson

^no,of course no one from within the Queen camp cashed in on Freddie's death,its not as if they rush released Bohemian Rhapsody back into circulation or did a big memorial at Wembley Stadium.
and before anyone says anything,there is no such thing as a 'charity event',everyone there may of said that they were doing it 'for Freddie' but they were only thinking of getting a bigger profile for themselves. I think Live Aid proved that with Queen and U2's album sales doing exactly what Jacko's are doing now and going through the roof.
good ol' corporate greed at its finest,milk the cow for all its worth before it dries up.

So you did not understand me right....
All this song production and concert it's another side. It's just something that doesn't touch the late person so close, like in case of Jackson.
But I meant the autopsy details and this show out of funeral. They literally are digging in his dead body. It's almost two weeks as they're talking about what was in his stomach and how his body looked.
They'd better played a concert in his honour really....

Unfortunately you will still get fans who would feel vindicated in wanting to know how Michael died. They would want to know such things as did he overdose (whether it was accidental or not) and if so, who gave him the drugs? Their questions will go on until they get their answer. It has been that way with Freddie. I believe Freddie's death certificate was on the internet. Why? Did anyone (other than his family) need to know what was on it? Answer - no not really. But thats the nature of some fans. They feel they "need" to know. Just like after Michael's death, his fans went out and bought all his albums and dvd's. Now maybe I am being over hypocritical here, but where were they when it was first announced that Michael was nearly out of cash? But then I dont get how fans need to buy anything connected to a dead celebrity. When Freddie died, I didnt rush out and buy everything Queen. I wont do it for any celebrity. But also, these are the types of fans that record companies prey on. They are the huge cash cow and they are ready for the milking. To be fair, its not just record companies. Its book manufacturers. I bet there will be loads of "I knew Michael" books telling all about him. All of which I shall be gladly ignoring as well.

^all the parasites that are now gonna appear to sell their 30 pieces of silver are going to make Paul Burrell look like a saint
how long before Rick Sky cashes in with a book?

Any autopsy pics yet?

and how long before we get the Playstation game?

Ok, this has gone way too far.
First, nonstop coverage of MJ, now a public viewing of his body?!?!?!?!
What the fuck have we become?
I hear the streets of Downtown L.A. will be closed for tomorrow's memorial. I can't imagine the traffic my dad will have to face!!! And my brothers need to get to school dammit!
This is all a fucking money scam. Televised event?? What THE FUCK?!?!?! This is getting too weird. Why would anyone want to see their idol's lifeless body?? This, this is too much. I can't take it anymore!
I can't escape it. Even my parents are into the gossip hype. They always have the news channels on where they gossip about MJ. And we have 3 televisions in the house -_-  I told them, "They should just leave him alone." My mum was like, "Why? He just died. He's the biggest news around." She just looked at me weird, like if she wanted to tell me I should really care.

I'm ashamed to be living near the Staples Center (just a couple of minutes away)..... my cousin was saying, "We should have signed up for tickets!" I was like, "What for???" No offense, but who in their right mind would want to see a dead person (unless you do it for a living or whatever), especially when this person is MICHAEL JACKSON!??!!?!??! He kinda already looked dead this past decade, now to actually see him deceased?!?!?! THIS IS SICK!



 



One of the only funny things I find from this is that under every local news item of MJ that popped up on my email page there's a caption saying, "Did you receive Michael Jackson Memorial Tickets? Tell CBS2/KCAL 9 about it!" Contacting a news channel just to say you got tickets? Wow, that's pathetic...

Well, my rant is over for now I guess. Feel free to disagree or whatever.



EDIT: now i hear MJ will be laid to rest before the public memorial....that's more like it.

I think the reason I stopped being devastated is temporary suspension of disbelief. I'm just playing along with it- I listen to his music and look at his photographs without thinking he's dead. I've literally listened to nothing but Michael Jackson since the 25th and I'm still in pretty heavy denial. The memorial tomorrow is gonna fuck me up, but I'll probably go back to the denial once it's over.

I guess us Long Islanders have a lot to be proud about from out congressional representative Peter King. Peter King a supporter of the IRA, supporter of killing innocent civilians in Gaza, supporter or racial profiling and restricting civil liberties to Muslim Americans, the man who claimed that "there's too many mosques in America", now believes he's the moral authority to dictate who is a pedophile? and who is not, but as a Catholic man he never had a problem with priests accused of molesting kids, and the church that was hiding and denying any of these allegations.
