Michael Jackson’s Big Top Memorial Service

July 7th, 2009 // 70 Comments

Well, the Michael Jackson Memorial Service is about to commence, so here’s some pics from the scene complete with commentary in the captions. And, yes, those are elephants down there along with miniature ponies. Because what better way to honor Michael’s life than having a bunch of zoo animals crap around his coffin? There’s a metaphor in that somewhere.

Rest in Peace, Michael.

    We can always hope the elephants spook and stampede- a service we’d never forget.

    @9 The Ringling Bros. circus was previously scheduled. The circus opens tomorrow at the Staples Center.

    That said, there is something apropos about the circus showing up for this spectacle . . .

    They should have flown Bubbles out to the funeral, like was offered. That way he could have paid his last respects to Michael. He could’ve flung around some of his own shit and the scat from the elephants and ponies. The only down side to that is, Jamie Foxx, Chris Tucker, P. Diddy, and a host of others would’ve probably joined in, making it an all out monkey shit fight. Nothing says, “say hello to heavan”, like monkeys flinging some shit around! And for the record, Michael sent bubbles to Naples, Florida, ’cause that friggen simien had all the dirt on Mr. “Touchy-Feely” Jackson! U bess beliedat!

    They’ve scheduled a 21-gun salute at the memorial service. Of course, the guns will be erect 9-year-old penises. Over 10,000 moms submitted applications for their boys to be “used” at the service, because they think Michael Jackson is the greatest human being ever.

    Scale that down just a bit and you get what happened all the time at the Neverland ranch. The moms are sicker than MJ was.

    What a frickin’ joke. I’m sorry, but the man was absolutely freakish. Everyone made fun of him — he was, at best, the punchline of a joke for the last eight to ten years. And now that he’s dead, you’d think he had cured cancer or something.

    His music, in the eighties, was great. Since then, he has been only known for his ever changing appearance, his bizarre behavior, and his (possible) pedophilia. WTF are we glamorizing him for again????

    Of course, the usual shitbags (Sharpton, J. Jackson, Fox, Diddy, etc..) show up to call attention to themselves under the guise of “honoring” Jackson. Bunch of self-serving fucks. It’s amazing the amount of crying and whining going on over the death of someone who, even though he was very talented and popular, really isn’t Jesus Christ. As much as these crazy bastards want to elevate him to the status of God, he just isn’t.

    Plant that kid-touching fucker in the ground already! The only real tragedy is that some bmf prisoner didn’t bash his brains out in prison after anal-raping him. That is better treatment than he deserved… but it would be better than this BS memorial.

    MJ’s name will make more money now, than when he was alive. Just like Tupac. Tupac put out more records dead than alive. My thought is that MJ, Tupac, Elvis, and Biggie are all sitting back on a some unknown island they bought, drinking cold ones and saying something to the effect: Ha Ha!! We got those fuckers good, They think we dead, no bitches, we rich BITCH. That would be the ultimate fuck you!!

    Wait for it,

    Wait for it…………….
