LOL! This may be more crass than the Wellstone bash.

What's Al Sharpton’s cut?

SOB has a nose for blood in da wadda.

>>T-shirts that were going to be sold on Michael’s upcoming “This Is It” tour will not go to waste.<<

There has never been a more aptly named tour.

Maybe they should just give in and haul his carcass to venues all over the world. No one will be able to tell the difference between his corpse and the walking corpse that we saw the last few years anyway.

I knew people were gonna make money off Michael Jackson’s death, but I didn’t think it was going to happen at the funeral... LOL...

[Churchillspirit]

What’s the betting that The Kenyan will be lumped in with all the adulation?

[parsifal]

That’ll cut down on the crowd. LOL,

parsy, who is sick of this crap on TV

[Drew68]

KA-CHING!!!

[chevydude26]

God Bless Michael Jackson,

and we’re the capitalists i don’t see a problem with this...as long as it goes towards his children...not to mention there is probably a real high demand to go to Jackson’s funeral

or maybe Michael faked his death and is using this to pay off his debts...would be a great plan

[SWAMPSNIPER]

It should be a part of the circus, they could shoot him out of a cannon! I’d pay $25.00 to see that!

[catfish1957]

Three or four days ago I said that I bet there would be pay for view at the funeral. he He

Michael Jackson was a talented enough individual, and certainly seemed to be pleasant although very strange- but he always hung out with the wrong crowd.

I’m not suprised at all with his “friends” and family charging for his funeral.

[muawiyah]

It's an ancient Roma custom to go begging for money to bury their own dead. When Billy Blythe (Bill Clinton's 5 times Great Grandfather) passed on, he was left unburied until some of his relatives could be persuaded to go beg for money.

I didn't know the Jacksons were Gypsies!

Can't rule it out ~ singing, dancing, lots of kids ~

[staytrue]

Maybe they should just take the casket on a world tour and charge 25 dollars a pop.

[My hearts in London - Everett]

Oh. My. God! He’s a laughing stock in death as well as in life.

[elli1]

Might help to thin the crowd a bit. If it was free, 10 million people would show up wanting to get in. Besides, I’m supposing that the rent on the Staples Center is pretty steep.

[theDentist]

Let's see $25 x 19,000 seats = $475,000
But they are expecting 700,000 to show up... so $25 x 700,000 = $17,500,000
But even idiots won't want to pay the full price just to see the box on TV, so maybe $15 to be "there"...
700,000 - 19,000 = 681,000 x $15 = $10,215,000 + $475,000 = $10,690,000

Nice payday for just kicking off and being put on display.

[DejaJude]

sigh... all I can feel is sadness. Sad for a talented, used and abused young boy who could not grow up and could not get help for his own devils. Sad for those that worship the dollar over a person's soul. Sad for those that worship idols over the true God.

[maggief]

Oh, goody! Another FUNeral!

[RichInOC]

So is Jack Nicholson getting floor seats for this thing?

[hinckley buzzard]

LOL! This may be more crass than the Wellstone bash.

Indeed. But it just seems totally fitting somehow. "Getcha Michael funeral T-shirts right here."

[attiladhun2]

I wouldn’t go to this molester’s funeral if they served free beer and burgers.
