due to the fact that Mj, is 99% plastic it has been decided that instead of being cremated he will be melted into plastic cups so children can once again have their lips on his rim.
reports of Michael Jackson having a heart attack are incorrect, hes been found in the children's ward having a stroke.

Mj's body is not to be crematedor buried it is to be recylcled into grocery bags that way he can continue to be white plastic and dangerous.
Apparently Michael Jacksons heart attack was brought on when he tripped over a babies pram, doctors however are saying its a bit early to blame it on the buggy.

Some news stated that he did collapse unconcious after taking overdose of some painkiller medicine, I don't know if that is true, press can make up huge headlines from minor things which are completely unrelated in these kind of situations, something should be done to media in that aspect.
He had financial trouble, maybe all the pressure actually was bit too much and he decided to make sure his family gets okay? Surely some possibility in that, but wouldn't make too sure assumptions based on what we know/are told about.
Child abuse issue was quite greatly exaggerated by media, I'm 100% sure that we don't know truth about that matter either so I don't find appropriate to pull dead men's leg about that either.
He was a human being (well at least partly) so I don't think it would be nice to make fun of his death, after all he left a mouring family behind him, family members probably are more or less human beings too.

My thoughts exactly, I've said pretty much the same thing on another forum that I'm a regular on. Yes some of the jokes might be a little funny but the fact of the matter is a great person HAS died, leaving behind a mourning family.
Rest in peace.

every joke has a victim.
from slapstick, to political satire.
and everyone dies.
absolutley everyone.
And as a non religious, embittered, cynicall sort, i feel comfortable taking amusement in the misfortune of strangers.
But out of respect for the views and wishes of other decent sorts posing here, i will close my mouth on the subject.

But you don't need to sacrifice polite behaviour even when you don't behave religiously.
I believe only in science, still I try to be polite with some things, at least part time and still failing probably, but at least trying
