This is deplorable.

Joe may not be in the will but he is going to get his one way or the other.

Why not, most of his life was a freak show anyway.

You have to pay to get into the circus and inside there are always some concession stands.

Yeah, but one would hope that, out of respect for the man as a human being, people would not be trying to directly profit off his death.

I know that's unrealistic, but still.

They would have to pay me $25,000

Amen.

My sis-in-law lives in Hollywood and said it was pretty much shut down this past weekend with all the people hanging in the streets around his star.

Say it isn't so. Normally, you would think this is a only a rumor, but anything is possible with this family.
It verifies that Joe is running everything. For him, it is all about money.

This LA Times article contradicts, saying the funeral will be free and 11,000 tickets will be given out for those wanting to attend.

This could be a tense moment for the LA police. I would not be surprised to see some serious trouble on the streets.

I'd rather not know what the proceeds will benefit.

We can only hope for the perfect ending. Michael would have wanted it that way. Looting provides for the children.

I wonder if there will be anyone outside scalping tickets? Wonder how much a MJ funeral ticket would bring on Ebay?
