Hello everyone, hope all had a safe and enjoyable Halloween!
Today, I rant. I think it is wrong to take complete advantage of someone but, I find it especially disgusting to take advantage of a dead person. I have not seen the new Michael Jackson film and I don't plan on it. It is pitiful the way many have used his death as a means for their own gain. Michael's life, for whatever it was, is over. He was an influential musician, to say the least. Whatever you thought of him, you can't deny that. I remember shortly after he died, walking through Walmart, seeing all sorts of new compilation CD's of his music. An entire issue of Time magazine devoted to him, I saw that in my Krogers. Now, we have a major motion picture that is topping box office sales. Enough already! It isn't fair, to use the tragic and untimely death of this man, or ANY man, to get rich! So, I propose a law be added to the books. For a period of one year after the death of a celebrity, I propose that no one be allowed to create anything using that person's name or image. No new compilation CD's, no feature films, no t-shirts, no anything. Because no one should be able to get rich off the tragedy of others!
Thanks for reading...
Jennifer
