You may have noticed that the site was down this morning, due to suspected spammy activities from some tricksy gypsies who were actually camping in the site without my knowledge.  It’s likely they cast some kind of spell.  Anyway, it’s back now.  I’m almost certain that this will be the last Michael Jackson post I’ll make, because it is getting pretty tawdry.  I say almost, because if something amazingly shocking comes to light, which, let’s be honest, is almost certain to happen, then I’ll be all over that shit.  So, the memorial service is today, and will be held in the Staples Center in LA.  If you thought you’d never be able to pay to see a Michael Jackson performance ever again, then you’d be wrong.  Read more after the jump.

Because a ticket to this thing is $25.  Oh yea. The picture above is MJ’s casket.  It’s a $25,000, solid bronze, 14-karat gold plated custom casket called “The Promethean”.  A similar one was used to bury James Brown.

The Promethean?  Here’s a little lesson in where Prometheus ended up.  Prometheus was punished by Zeus for stealing fire and giving it to mortals by being bound to a rock while a great eagle ate his liver every day, only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day.  Good name, casket people.
