And So It Begins....

Michael Jackson's family is currently making their way to Forest Lawn for his private service and every network is following their every move. After that, the family and Michael Jackson's body will make their way to the Staples Center for the memorial of all memorials (complete with elephants). TMZ says that the Swat Team will escort Michael's coffin to his memorial. I'm guessing that they will also escort Michael back to Forest Lawn to be buried later today.

Over 1 billion people are expected to watch the memorial on TV or the internets. MSNBC, CNN and TMZ all have a livestream. I think all of our brains have a livestream too, so if you close your eyes you can watch too.

The internet is really going to break today. It really is. It's been real. Then all of our TVs are going to blow up. Then the earth will crack in two. We'll all fall off and float through the galaxy for the rest of eternity.

I don't know how much longer I can take this. What is wrong with people? If I see one more person crying over the death of a 50-year old drug addicted accused child molester I'll puke.

Why the hell are they abusing those poor elephants? Cripes.

I stand corrected on the elephants. Still makes me sick that these poor creatures are used for human entertainment.

There's nothing more that celebrities love than eulogizing each other. Anything to get in front of a camera.

I am pretty sure by the time this is done, they'll have the child molester arise from the dead.

MSM should be ashamed of themselves devoting so much coverage to this has-been.

OK, so the elephants are there for the circus and not MJ's extravaganza. I still want the COFFIN CAM!

Even so, it gives me a chance to voice my opposition to using them for entertainment. They belong in the wild or what's left of it.

Geez you guys, the elephants/circus aren't part of it. The circus starts tomorrow at Staples, it was already scheduled. For reals. The elephants circus people arrived last night, as they always do a couple days before the show. MK was just being a smart ass.

The circus was, or is, at the Staples Center so the elephants were probably there anyway.

His body is definitely experiencing changes now. Skin shrinking,turning colors. The embalming will slow this process, and you if you looked at him wouldn't notice many changes.Most of them right now are on a molecular level. Also depending upon whether or not they placed the organs back in the body or not would to some extent help.

"California is also asking the residents to "chip in" for clean up and whatnot."

I haven't heard that before. But I can guarantee I won't be chipping in since sales tax is now 9.75% thanks to all the mismanagement by our awesome elected officials.

So, they had private service at Forest Lawn, but NOW their taking his body to the Staples Arena? Why wasn't he properly buried or interred? Sick I tell you.

rukiddingme's picture

This really is turning into a fucking circus, literally. I hate how some people use wild animals for profit. It makes me sick. Any true animal lover that's educated about such things, knows this is animal abuse. Shame on whoever owns these poor creatures and shame on the Jackson family and organizers of this memorial for dragging these poor creatures into it.

Thankfully, I will not be part of that 1 billion people wasting their time to watch this fucking death circus. I just hope this is over so I don't get to read 1000 posts more about Michael fucking Jackson and his dumbass antics, his fucked up family or anything related to this bullshit.

So right. I started to read an article about assholes in Bangkok who force elephants to beg for money in the hot sun with no water to cool them off. I cried and couldn't finish it.

I have friends in the biz - he won't stink if the embalming was done right and the plastic bag inside doesn't break. But his appearance will deteriorate and that's why the coffin is not being opened at this point.

I have a question that is not delicate. It's been 10 days (11?) since MJ dove off the cliff of life. They are showing the hearse carrying his casket driving down some highway.

I won't be watching, but I can see why they would have a public funeral for MJ.

MJ was a public figure and loved by people all around the world. He really did touch people with his music, so I see this public funeral as a way for the fans to pay their respects. It also allows people to remember and honor MJ in a special way. It encourages mourners to face the pain of their loss and express their thoughts and feelings.

It might seem a little over the top since they didn't even know MJ personally, but through his music he probably touched them, and this is the best way for them to say thank you and to honor him.

Unless of course he was a child predator. Then it wouldn't make sense at all. But since it was never proved, I won't berate him.
