Michael Jackson doesn't need embalming or 'plastination'. He's already pickled...
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!
And you thought the jokes were funny. Damn, you can’t make stuff like this up.

Will they put him on display?
Due to the fact that Michael Jackson was 99% plastic
he will be melted down and made into Legos
so little boys can play with him for a change.
Since he’s mostly plastic already he just needs to be recycled.
And I thought it all could not get any sicker....what next??
The article said — Von Hagens said that he spoke with representatives of the Jackson family ‘many months ago’ and it was agreed that his body will be plastinated and placed next to Bubbles, his late pet monkey who was plastinated a number of years ago and is exhibited at The Body Worlds & Mirror Of Time exhibition at the O2 Centre in London. Von Hagens also confirmed it was one of Michael’s final requests to be reunited with Bubbles.

He added: ‘Von Hagens has hinted that a moonwalk pose would naturally be favoured. ‘It is hoped the exhibit will be unveiled towards the end of July.’

I’m desperately looking for the sarcasm tag and/or the parody clue here... but I’m afraid I can’t find it anywhere...
It’s sure a b*tch to be forced to work even after you’re dead...
It all sounds like bull to me. I read an article yesterday that stated Bubbles was at some primate rescue center because he got too big to be around Jackson’s kids.
Like Trigger and Buttlemilk and Bullet at the Roy Rodgers Museum in CA?
I can’t quite decide if it’s Sisyphean or occultic, to have your corpse walking backward for eternity.
You said — Like Trigger and Buttlemilk and Bullet at the Roy Rodgers Museum in CA?

Ummm..., but we’re talking about Michael Jackson — which would then be like saying Roy Rogers is on display, too.... LOL...
BUT, the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum is in Branson, Missouri and not California... :-)

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit to see in about 10 years that he’s been cloned.
“Von Hagens said that he spoke with representatives of the Jackson family ‘many months ago’ and it was agreed that his body will be plastinated and placed next to Bubbles,”
If this is true, it would seem as if the family had some kind of pre-knowledge of his upcoming shocking, tragic, surprising, pre-mature death!
Anyone still doubt the jerk was insane?
His fans are just a tad less insane.
Probably wouldn't have had the money anyway.
Yes Michael Jackson was uh....”casket ready”
This guy should work with Disney Studios and get MJ motorized and animated. He can go on tour indefinitely.
(His fans are just a tad less insane.)
The word ‘fans’ is short for fanatics, that should explain a lot of it.
Okay. That pegged out my weirdometer. Putting him in a moonwalk pose at an exhibit extends beyond anything I could imagine. If the article about him being controlled by Nation of Islam towards the end is true, though, it makes sense. It’s about money, and there’s no telling how much the museum would pay for that.
