I just read an unnerving article on CNN.com about Jackson.

Apparently, you can go on-line and register for one of 17,500 tickets available for the Jackson Memorial at the Staples Center next Tuesday.

How weird is that? What is this world coming to?

9 days of this stuff and there is still no plans for a burial - it's just plain sick.

Farrah's funeral was at least dignified - the media and public were kept away and she was buried quietly and with class.

Jackson's thing is just a circus or a rock show and it's all just a little too much. The way the media is reacting, you would think this guy was the most imporatant person of all time - I don't recall there ever being this much coverage over any one person.

Just think if he had died from Cancer - it would be even more unbelievable.

I was not going to comment, but when I saw the news item on CNN, I just could not believe it.

My 2 cents.

    unbelievable
    I really wonder how many other people are sick of it all too, or how many people are truly still "eating this all up". I can't believe they're having a public memorial service by ticket at the Staples Center?!! I wonder how much tickets are going for. There will probably be people scalping them, as well. Well, I'll give it another month, I bet, before all this begins to die down.

    I'd like to see something else in the news! (not that I'm hoping for any other bad news to take its place though, really).

    Lucky?
    With my luck it would be the lottery that I would win...
    or the other one, $1 a year for a million years...

    Just a little perspective on Michael Jackson and his "odd" behavior. This is from the current TIME magazine in the Verbatim section.

    'I want to make this statement. This is a real good statement here: Marshall and I--we own a record company.' JOE JACKSON, plugging his new business venture during an interview about the death of his son, pop icon Michael Jackson.

    No wonder he was left out of Jackson's will. What a piece of work his "father" was.
    F-ing sad...
