Good morning. It’s September 4, 2009, and Michael Jackson is still dead. Dead, and now buried. The funeral was last night, 71 days after his death. Rest in peace, you freaky little dude. The Huffington Post reports:
. . . The King of Pop was given an intimate, private version of the lavish public memorial held shortly after his death in June.
When it was over, many of the the 200 mourners hugged each other. Among them were Elizabeth Taylor, Jackson’s ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley, Barry Bonds and Macaulay Culkin.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, who gave a eulogy at the public event and at Thursday’s service, also extolled Knight’s earlier performance of “His Eye is on the Sparrow.”
“Gladys Knight sang her heart out. Now we prepare to lay him to rest,” Sharpton posted on his Twitter account during the service that was held outside and then within the marble mausoleum.
Sharpton Twittered? During the service??? Is nothing sacred anymore? Did he also make the mourners have a moment of silence so he could secretly steal over to the coffin, press his cheek against it, hold out his iPhone, and make the kissy face for a new Facebook profile pic? Did he stop mid-eulogy to take a cell call, like, “Hey, what’s up! . . . Nothin’, at the Michael Jackson funeral, did you hear back from Derek? Yeah, yeah . . . Hold up, Lisa did WHAT? Oh hell NO she did not! That skank ass bitch!”

I hope they made sure he was dead before they lowered the coffin in the ground. I have a lifelong fear of Michael Jackson being buried alive.
Good. Will everyone now just shut the fuck upo about him. I am so fucking sick of the constant barrage of crap about that lump of worm food.
RIP, MJ.
Boy, I hate to see what’s in store for ol’ Al when his time comes. I suspect it may be the first funeral where everyone’s naked for security! (And that image would be unnerving on its own.)
