OK Magazine Puts Michael Jackson’s Dead Body On The Cover

OK! Magazine

The “last photo of Michael Jackson” exclusive is said to have cost the magazine a cool $500,000.

Jackson’s family and friends are said to be outraged by the cover, and there’s an unconfirmed report that one of Jackson’s relatives has lodged a petition in court to have the sale of the magazine stopped.

This is just another disgusting media outlash against the star.  It is amazing what people are willing to do for money.  This goes for the one who sold the photo to OK Magazine who published it.

Here is a man who obviously isn’t with us anymore due to the pressures of his celebrity life.  Anyone who wants to argue that only has to extensively read about his life since he was accused by many of being inappropriate with children.  He lived a sheltered life due to the media and now even in his death they can’t have the decency to respect him or his family.

I find it amazing that this kind of photo is even allowed to be published.  Is this what they learned in their school of journalism?  I wonder if the person who made the decision to publish this photo had dreams when in journalism school of doing exactly this one day.  Most likely they dreamed of working for a respectable newspaper.  That not happening , obviously due to their lack of journalism skills, they feel compelled to sink to this level.

I am outraged and disgusted at Ok Magazine and will NOT buy their magazine ….ever because of this act of unprofessionalism.

I would hope that even if you were not a big fan of Michael Jackson you can see this for what it is.  Don’t support this offensive material. They paid a large amount of money for this photo hoping to make a profit on those that want to see it and increase sales.  I hope this doesn’t happen.

What do you think? Is this what a celebrity should expect? Acceptable behaviour? Let’s hear your thoughts on this photo.
