Capitalizing on Michael Jackson

[coolsleek]

As we all know, MJ lost his life about 24 hours ago. There are already internet marketers wanting to make money from his death.

I saw this site, here posting those annoying ads that you can make money posting links on google. Now it is now about michael jackson. I read this page How You Can Make Money By Posting Links For Google that said that it is a scam.

Scam or not, at least they should respect him and don't try to make money from him.

Michael Jackson is getting far more respect that he's received in decades: much less talk about the charges of horrifying crimes that may have scarred children for life, much more talk about the talent and the music.

I think those sorts of websites just plug in the highest searched term of the day, whether it's Michael Jackson or shark attacks.

I think Kanczon is right. These sites just plug in, no disrespect intended.

I never believed the child abuse stories about Michael Jackson. He was an amazing musical artist and his life is being honored as it should be.

People have this thing of not speaking ill of the dead, and in this case it is good the negative press is leaving it alone.

Michael Jacksons death is a loss to our world.

I am very sorry that we lost Michael Jackson,I am not able to believe it completely now.I was loving him,he was one of my favourite popstars and he was The King Of Pop.I too never believed the child abuse stories about Michael Jackson.I think in his last terms he was unhappyI hope he didn't suicide.

His songs and dances-dance moves are going to continue living.

Though MJ's life became overshadowed by the crimes he was accused of, that in no way should undermine the contributions he has made musically particularly as a black man who was able to captivate the world and unify many musically regardless of race and class. I feel the same way about Bob Marley, who also died young. I think the problem in our society with regards to people who commit crimes against children is the utter disregard for the offender's humanity - What's more, the so-called offender in this case is DEAD. MJ looked like he suffered terribly whether he committed these crimes or not and now has died young. I hope the children he may or may not have molested continue to heal and receive counseling. It's possible his death has brought up those old deep wounds. My point is love all around is needed here. Why not extract a recently dead man (just for 1 minute) from the allegations of molestation that people made about him. Like every one of us, there were betterr sides to MJ and I'm sure that these alleged crimes will resurface as time goes on. I've seen evidence of it throughout the internets.

As far as people making money off of his death, this does not surprise me at all. After his early success due to his solo career, that's what people did and it will continue long after his family buries him. It's a shame.

24 hours? People have been making money off his life for 30 years. Does that bother you more, or less?

Seriously, MartialDev is right people have been making money off of him since he was 5 years old (whenever he started). I don't see anything wrong with it as long as your respectful about it.
