Michael Jackson's Burnt Hair To Be Turned Into Diamonds!

Would you wear a diamond made from Michael Jackson's hair?
You may soon able to, now that a Chicago-based jeweler has unveiled plans to sell a limited collection made from Jackson's hair.
"Our plan is to give people an opportunity to own a diamond made from Michael Jackson's DNA," Dean VandenBisen, the founder of LifeGem tells ADWeek.
The hair being used was collected by producer Ralph Cohen following the accident on the set of Jackson's 1984 Pepsi commercial where the pop star was severely burned after a pyrotechnics malfunction. Cohen picked up the fire-singed hair and placed it in his jacket pocket where it had remained for 25 years.
What do you think? Is this a fitting tribute, or just another (gross) way for someone to make a buck at Jackson's expense?
Does this sound like a good idea to anyone? Yuck!
