Michael Jackson Dead

[Edwina's Secretary]

We have a community forum for our neighborhood and some lady is selling a ticket to a Michael Jackson concert for 50 bucks. Is it just me or is that tacky as heck? It just hit me the wrong way.

I still have my ticket stub from seeing Elvis in concert....wonder what it is worth? (just kidding...I would not part with it!)

I don't have a problem with people selling memorabilia but two days after he died just seems tacky.

Agreed!

Anyway - if she was smart she would put it on e-bay! I wonder how much is already up there?

I just heard my first TV commercial with a MJ tune in the background.
It just jumps out at you. This had to have just been put together.

If I hear Thriller coming out of my TV one more time I am going to scream! I guess the next month of Larry King shows will be about MJ. I will have to find something else in that time slot to watch. Like someone else said.....it is just like the overload from Anna Nicole.

If it's "I'll Be There", that commercial has been running for a while now. It's when MJ was a little boy, if that's the one you're talking about, that is.

I just heard that the family is requesting a 2nd autopsy. They can't see it was drugs? Seems it's just a matter of how much of which ones.

I heard that now that he is dead the terms of the settlement against him, regarding the sexual molestation where he paid millions to the boy's family, may be free to come out. Don't know if that is true or not, but my gosh do we want to hear all of that again. GAG! I am afraid this will be a long long road.

I hope that they let it rest. His kids and his parents don't need that heartache.

Unfortunately, I think that every nasty detail of his life, and then some, will be exploited by all the worms that are now crawling out of the woodwork. IMO, it will be a very long time before MJ is ever allowed to RIP - if ever.

I think you're right, Ellie, and it's such a shame. Every time I see a clip of him moonwalking, it takes me back to my kitchen when my son was constantly wearing out his socks because he was moonwalking all the time. I thought the boy would never walk forward again! Those are the times I prefer to remember. All of the weird stuff that came after is sad and depressing.

"I thought the boy would never walk forward again!"

That made me LOL. My little brother was the same way. He was constantly knocking stuff over doing is MJ impression and it would drive my mother bonkers! LOL!

Ya know - there is no disputing that he was very strange and he even admitted to some very weird behavior behind the scenes, before it became public knowledge, but I can't help but wonder if the accusations made against him of child molestation, were totally true. He had a very child-like nature which did nothing but make him look guilty, but I wonder just how much he was really guilty of. He had an awful lot of big names in his corner - Elizabeth Taylor and Liza Manelli come to mind as just a couple. Unfortunately, MJ was his own worst enemy, and he took his guilt or innocence with him in death. He was the only living being that knew the absolute truth, and no matter how much those that are left behind care to speculate, no one will ever know for sure.

Not true. IF the allegations were true, the innocent children he molested know for sure.

Not saying they were/are true, just stating that he's not the only one who knew the truth.

Yes - but....

Were they told what to say - and perhaps elaborate to the point that it would appear to be molestation? Children can be made to think one thing happened, when it was actually something totally different. It has happened many times before, and innocent people have gone to jail because of it.

I'm not saying that the children were prompted to "stretch the truth", just as I'm not saying that MJ was not guilty, but I still believe that MJ is the only one that knows for sure.

This is just IMHO of course.
