Michael Jackson’s Death Exploited by Magazines

Though I haven’t paid much attention to the media circus that has followed the death of Michael Jackson, I couldn’t avoid being exposed to the treatment the story received on the front page of magazines near the checkout at my local supermarket this afternoon.

The photo above offers a glimpse of how four magazines — US Weekly, PEOPLE, iN TOUCH and OK! (shown clockwise from upper left) — exploited the untimely death of the 50-year-old King of Pop on their covers this week.

    thats horrible he can’t rest in peace it don’t make any sense he’s human too and his family deserves dingnity, respect, and privacy so they could mourn in peace. The media help mess up the man’s life enough they need to sit the **** down and stay in their **** place. Just leave the Jackson family alone please!!!!!!!!!

    Its so upsetting but I agree-but cant people leave him to rest in peace? People that dont know him are commiting suicide! Dont they know that its just stupid making a big deal of one person dying when theres somebody dying of thirst every 15 seconds!
