An interesting conversation took place tonight. I know this is a far-fetched idea, but I’m just going to throw it out there. What if Michael Jackson’s death is all a marketing ploy for the launch of his new concert tour!
First you’ve got this totally unexpected death. Now you’ve got the broke state of California and Los Angeles paying for this giant, sold-out I might add, memorial service for him at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. I’m still not sure why the state is paying for it. Can someone please tell me? What’s the precedent for a state paying for a giant memorial service for a "celebrity".
Imagine, six days from now his "This Is It" concert tour in London was to start. Promotions of the new tour also included allegations that this would be his final tour ever, hence the "This Is It" naming.
How shocked would you be if at some point in the memorial service, Jacko arises from his death and starts the tour? The memorial service is expected to be seen by well over a million people. That would be a pretty good send off for the start of the tour right?
If you’re a fan, would you be disgusted by this ploy or absolutely thrilled he’s alive and kickin’?
