Just another dead drug addict . He was just a celebrity. As callousas that may sound, it's still the truth. Besides entertaining themasses, what else did he do that he should be idolized for?There havebeen people in this world that have died and have contributed more tothe betterment of mankind that deserve our praise and admiration alot more then just another drug addicted celebrity that accidentallyover-dosed. It really doesn't matter if he did what he's accused ofdoing, the allegations remain and always will. What matters is thatsociety is glorifying this human being for being an entertainer.Enough is enough already.

Michael Jackson was the greatest entertainer in the world. This is a very sad story.

I find it very strange that the coffin would be transported on a flatbed instead of in a hearse.

How come when celebrities get married(TomKat, Nicole Kidman etc.) they can request and be granted a "no fly zone" but the Jacksons never thought of this?

Why would you guys post a picture of the casket vault, or even his coffin with him inside or anything like that? I don't care what he did in his lifetime but that's so disgusting and disrespectful, especially for to his family. You guys at X17 are just as bad as OK magazine and their "final picture" of him. It deeply disturbs me how people seriously get entertainment out of this. :/

I really cannot stand the ignorant questions and idiotic statments. Please try to remember he is a man, a human being, a son, a father and a brother. His family, friends and fans are greiving. My heart goes out to his kids, family and friends. Michael, I hope you can finally get the rest and the peace you so needed. RIP Michael.

I agree, the pics are just disgusting. I would never take a picture at a funeral or in an ambulance for that matter. I just want to cry when I see that and to know his family and especially kids will see it, it is everywhere.



Posted by: ginger

He's been roasting in hell for 13 days.

His funeral is no different from anyone elses; its just aired on tv! Thats all! Michael was and still is a great entertainer. If it was that ugly A$$ Elvis, you wouldnt be saying much would you? Get a life and leave others alone!

You guys realize that's not the casket right? That's called a vault. The casket would be put inside that. Not real likely that the casket arrives on the back of a pickup truck.

He paid for children's cancer treatment and housed them and their families. I would really like to see you do that, please, I know of some children in need of paid cancer treatment.

If Micheal had done any of the things he was accused of he would have been in jail. If he in facted did OD accidently or other wise our ignorant society is to blame we pushed him to it by making fun of him, accusing him and turning our backs on him. Would any of you have taken millions of dollars or your own money to build a place like Neverland for less fortuante children-I bet not you would rather make fun of them. He had a love for children, he would not nor did he ever hurt a child. I hope his accusers can live with themselves now that MJ is gone and can never redeem his good name. Rest in Peace Micheal you were a hero to many and only those that can not understand what love and kindness are will have to live with what they did to you.

Those of us that know he didnt do those pathetic allegations are the ones keeping his name alive, we know he was the best entertainer theyre was, and doing neverland for those kids was even more memorable, just the sag as parents of the wanna get rich quick genre are the ones deserving ignoration, gees get a job like everyone else and stop praying on the rich that are trying to help, im disgusted as we all are...RIP Michael Jackson, Long Live the King of Pop.
