Even for OK! this is extreme bad taste

UK trash mag OK! has run pictures of a dead (or near as damn it) Michael Jackson in the back of the ambulance on the cover of its 'tribute' issue. Do I need to say anymore? Just hideous.

Don't they think they'd sell as many copies with a nice picture of him alive? More likely (and the scenario I hope will happen) people will refrain from buying it in disgust. Low just got lower.

  1. I saw this too Jen and just thought - how absolutely ghastly. And the black strapline, instead of the usual red! This is not, say, the Queen!

    Now I'm sure his music, dance, and entertainment brought enjoyment to many, but let us not forget that this guy was just a guy, not a saint, and indeed a man who, by his own admission, shared his bed with minors. At best this is naive, at worst, well, let's not touch on that. I do hope the media doesn't make a saint out of him.

  2. OMG, that's horrific! The odd thing is the picture doesn't even look like MJ... maybe there's something to the Elvis-esque conspiracy theories and he's not really dead?!
