One of the saddest thing to happen since the death of Michael Jackson is how everyone is scrambling to make money off of it. Most of the people profiting off of Michael Jackson feel they are doing it in the “spirit of Michael”. Sony is claiming that Michael would have wanted his fans to see This Is It. They other Jackson brothers got a reality show where they are trying to put together a MJ tribute because “thats what the fans would have wanted”. Everyone is cashing in though they may want you to believe that everything they do are acts of benevolence. Everyone except Joe Jackson.

Joe Jackson’s attempts to capitalize on his son’s death have been so transparent that it’s almost sickening. How can any of us forget that red carpet event where instead of speaking about how the Jackson family was dealing with the loss of Michael, he chose the live television moment to do a pitch for his new record label that will sell albums on Blue-ray discs (BTW dumbest idea ever). Now instead of riding the popularity of his late son to business success, he has decided that he just should get a regular allowance from the estate of Michael Jackson. A hearing is taking place in May to decide whether Joe will get some dough or not.

So I ask you Nation. Does Joe Jackson deserve to get paid for the rest of his life off of his dead son? He did help mold the “King Of Pop” into the money making machine that he is was and still is. Does that mean he should get a piece of the pie.
