LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- The date of the funeral for pop legend Michael Jackson has been changed to September 3, the singer's spokesman said Friday.

Jackson originally was scheduled to be laid to rest August 29, on what would have been his 51st birthday.

2009?

[albie]

Where’s the funeral? NAMBLA HQ?

[RobRoy]

Boy am I dense. I thought he was already buried. I thought he was yesterday’s news at this point.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Mikey has more moves dead than he had when he was alive.

[Ezekiel]

No rush. It’s not like plastic decays or anything.

[PGR88]

He’s not buried yet???

[evets]

He’s all wee wee’d up!

[reagan_fanatic]

There are three things in this world that would survive a catastrophic nuclear war - twinkies, cockroaches and Michael Jackson's body.

[RichInOC]

How can we miss him if he won’t go away?

[rhetorica]

Oh great. Moved off his 51st birthday and onto mine. I guess there won’t be any media coverage of Rhetorica’s birthday this year. Darn.

[Dumpster Baby]

Bury The Thing, and hope no one ever digs it up again.

[Shermy]

That will make him 70 days unburied.

James Brown still beats him at 75 days.

Can’t the family count?

[cardinal4]

I was about to post that he is probably pretty ripe, but there isn’t much organic material in him/her..

[keepitreal]

Larry King needs a few more shows with “shocking details” before they finally bury Jackson.

[TexasFreeper2009]

ROFL same here! He must have rotted by now.

[Exeter]

At this rate his body is soon going to start sprouting mushrooms. OTOH, what would his fanatics pay for a genuine Michael Jackson mushroom?...

[Ezekiel]

If they time this right, it could generate a ratings and network war over coverage of Jacko and the Swimmer.

[thesharkboy]

Did something happen to Michael Jackson?

[phoenix07]

I suppose they’re waiting for his resurrection........

[GreenHornet]

With all that plastic, shouldn’t they just recycle him?

[OldNavyVet]

Regarding Hollywood funerals, “The Loved One” is fabulous reading. By Evelyn Waugh, the book's satire involves some big-wig Hollywood SOB that's not loved at all, but is BIG enough to get a razz-matazz sendoff — as compared to how loved dogs are interred in a local pet cemetery.

With all that plastic, shouldn’t they just recycle him?

---

Not to worry he’ll be recycled many times over in plastic, vinyl, film, print, and no telling what else.

[Madistan]

At this point, he’d fit nicely in an urn, as is.

[Drew68]

The ceremony "will be limited to family and close friends," the statement said.

How is Joe going to make any money?

[Petruchio]

[60Gunner]

Jeez. Just put the freak in the ground, already.

[JamesA]

Tiy’d think the carcas would start stinkin.

[Sig Sauer P220]

A James Brown type of send-off.

[Centurion2000]

Good God that’s sick. Just how long is a body supposed to sit in a morgue. Get his Plastic Highnyness in the ground already.

[Centurion2000]

awesome chart.

You think when Obama crashes and burns the NAACP will having him retroactively declared caucasian ?

[Rastus]

Easy for you to say, smart guy. What are they supposed to do when he keeps getting up every time they bury him?



;-)

[Rebelbase]

In other news, Idi Amin is still dead.

[Centurion2000]

Wow, is that recent because that looks healthier than the ones from just before he died. He’s looking GOOODD right there!!! ;)

[Rastus]

I think it’s some claymation deal. It’s scary that you and I can’t tell the real thing from a puppet, because I wasn’t sure at first either. The puppet’s more real!

[PandaRosaMishima]

They’re probably still arguing with Rome over putting him in the Pope’s tomb...
