The major US TV networks have announced that the Michael Jackson funeral will be extended into a complete weekly series, to be shown simultaneously on all channels.
Said producer Aaron J. Scupper, "The Jackson funeral was a phenomenal TV event, and we are tremendously thrilled and excited at the opportunity to build it into a series, delivering the funeral to a public which cannot get enough of Jackson family grief."
Ya know? It’s getting well-nigh impossible to discern the difference between reality and satire...
They’ve got enough footage for several seasons. My favorite scene was Rev Al saying Micheal was better that Martin Luther King.
I don’t think Zero would like another “popular” program cutting into his t.v. time.
So I take it that Michael Jackson is still dead then? or is he actually in hiding with his former Father-in-law Elvis? We report you decide!
Yes, I know this is humor, but I have nothing but contempt for Joe.
The major US TV networks have announced that the Michael Jackson funeral will be extended into a complete weekly series, to be shown simultaneously on all channels.
Said producer Aaron J. Scupper, “The Jackson funeral was a phenomenal TV event, and we are tremendously thrilled and excited at the opportunity to build it into a series, delivering the funeral to a public which cannot get enough of Jackson family grief.”
The show, tentatively titled Good Grief - It’s the Jacksons, will feature the gold casket of Michael Jackson, being entertained by a series of musical guests, while images of the star are displayed on a screen above. The musical lineup will change from week to week.
Between musical sets, the Jackson family will appear. “They will play characters like themselves,” said Scupper, “but with a difference.”
“Marlon Jackson will wear a glittering glove on one hand just like in the funeral. It gives him the power to channel Michael’s strength and talent - but only in one hand, leading to moments that are both comic and bittersweet.”
“And Janet Jackson will grieve, all in black, but sometimes her wardrobe will malfunction. It’s raucous, sexy, grieving hilarity, but done in a classy way that the whole family can watch.”
Scupper hopes to snag daughter Paris Jackson for the show.
“That moment in the funeral where she wept was truly beautiful. We want to see Paris do that in every episode, to add a heartfelt moment. Some say it was lightning in a bottle, but we think the kid has the chops to pull it off.”
“And maybe each week the dad is trying to get into the funeral to steal the gold casket, but he always gets foiled, and runs away with a dog biting his behind, while the rest of the family look on, united in touching grief and sidesplitting laughter.”
It is not known how much the Jacksons will receive for appearing in the series.
Said Scupper, “We haven’t actually talked to them about the show just yet. Please, it’s not the right time.”
They still have to figure out what to do with his brain.!
Will they dig him up and reinstall it?
MJ’s not dead, a friend of mine, that likes moonshine, said he saw him and Elvis performing yesterday.
Who me?... Hey... I get no respect!
My brother said he wouldn’t be surprised if, during a lull in the funeral, MJ would jump out of the casket and break into an updated rendition of “Thriller” with a bunch of the mourners.
At this point, nothing would shock me.
(what to do with his brain)
THIS JUST IN!!! The Jackson family has just announced they will have a very special breakfast offer. They will sell for $500,000 a ticket, Michael Jackson brains and eggs special.
They urge MJ’s fans to buy a ticket ASAP because, at this point, it is not known how many plates will be available and a brain is a terrible thing to waste.
I can’t believe how Sharpton made such a fool of himself by BELIEVING Tawana Brawley!! Remember her?
Sharpton will never outlive this disgrace!!!!
