Ask me to help pay for the burial of homeless and/or poor people, not for a dead millionaire who leaves an estate that’s worth more than $500 million.
Only in L.A. would an assclown politician ask for donations to help bury a guy who’s worth half a billion dollars.
Tell you what, Villaraigosa: How about you have your office write up a big fat bill for the event, send it on over to me, and I’ll gladly hand-deliver the fucking thing to the Jackson family’s front door in Encino.
Grow some balls, boy.
Do you know how many regular funerals $4 million would cover? A ton.
If Michael Jackson truly was as charitable as they’ve made him out to be, he too would’ve seen the disgusting hypocrisy in even asking for this money.
To anyone considering donating: Don’t.
To anyone who already did: Dumbass.
Eat the rich,

It’s not bad enough that as a taxpayer, I have to pay for a Memorial I wasn’t invited to, but now I also get asked to donate to it as well. I love LA!

What kind of bozo would open a PayPal account to try to raise 4 million dollars?

This whole spectacle is amazing. I mean, I hate to say it, but I agree with Geraldo for calling out all of these celebs who where his friends, but didn’t stand by him during his trials.
I heard some douche bag say that this is his generations “JFK moment”. Sighs…I pray every day for the republic when I see/hear shit like this

Bullshit!
The Jackson familly have and will continue to live very well off of Michael. They will no doubt rake in billions selling memorial MJ product turning the King of Pop into the King of Posthumous Revenue. Neverland will be the new Graceland where you can buy anything from collectors plates to white glove back scratchers. Move over Elvis.
The Top Ten
1. Elvis
2. Charles Schulz
3. J.R.R. Tolkien
4. John Lennon
5. George Harrison
6. Dr. Seuss
7. Dale Earnhardt
8. Tupac Shakur
9. Bob Marley
10. Marilyn Monroe

I have not watched one minute of MJ memorial coverage. It is sad and I am am a fan, but I have better things to do than watch endless hours of TV to mourn a man I did not know. I need to mow the grass, maybe I’ll moonwalk and mow in tribute.

The weirdest part of the article is the link to the video in New Orleans, it looks like a party, celebration of life rather than mourning of death. It was an interesting opinion throughout what was written, and definitely raised an intrigued eyebrow of mine.
I wonder if the the skin-color change made a huge difference in the outlook of his work besides the style of music changing as well. Billie Jean to Earth Song, hmmm interesting. However, I love “Dirty Diana” and “Leave Me Alone”, just as much as, “Billie Jean”.
What a wild and wacky juxtaposition of ethnicity hand-in-hand with rhythmic shifts.
Anddddd, I still love to mimic his character on South Park, forever.
That’s ig-nant, or not?
