Joe Jackson Clarifies Bizarre Record Co Plug by Plugging it Again
Didn't get a chance to mention this yesterday, but here's Joe Jackson's second plug of his record company in two days (unprompted, I might add, by any reporter asking for a clarification) before adding that he wishes Michael could be here to see all this excitement around this death.
Sure, and I'm sure MJ would love watching the father he claimed abused him sell him out for Ranch Records on Blu-ray.
Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...

Just wait the crazy from this family is just starting. The major meal ticket for the extended family has just been stopped. The siblings are sure to be fighting over their book deals and who can get their book out first and spill the most dirt on MJ.

All that is left now is the greed that is rapidly surfacing from all sides.
I have been making a concerted effort to change the channel when I see any media outlet reporting "Breaking News!" about Michael Jackson. He's dead, let him rest in peace and stop providing a forum for the vultures yearning to thrive in this... limelight.
I have no respect for MSNBC any more. After watching Keith Olberman cover the body transport from UCLA to the coroners office with the same aplomb as when the media followed OJ's white Bronco, my stomach churned. What a low point in media. This incessant barrage of speculators... folks, HE'S DEAD. Let it go.
RIP Michael. At least you don't have to watch any of this.

I'd love to see MJ sit up in the coffin, looking like his zombie from Thriller, and smack the shit out of this sleaze bag. What a sorry sack of shit.

This is NOT a father grieving for his dead son. Michael was a money maker to him. He is a poor excuse for a father.

Evil personified.

Someone hurry up and give him the 'World's Greatest Dad' award. Please!

MJ died $400 MILLION in debt.
The family has no more money
- and three kids to feed.
I have a feeling the man is just trying to contribute to his familiy.... yeah it is wrong but he is old and has to be a bit concerned about how he is going to keep a roof over his head now that MJ is gone.
Stupid yes... but I can understand it given his age.

$400M in debt and assets valued at about $1b. everyone is going to make out just fine.

When he commented about how he felt about Michael's death by saying "The world lost an icon. It's biggest superstar." That said it all. All MJ was to him was a meal ticket. Not a son he actually cared about.

Jo Jackson is an awful human being. I mean, look at the way he fucked up Michael? You think MJ got that plastic surgery just for fun?

Why do so many people say every country in the United States?
