Ways to Capitalize on Jackos Death

Because the world we live in is driven by money, and unfortunately the price paid for gaining money is too often death, divorce or bankruptcy, Tyler and I were discussing ways in which people would capitalize on Michael Jackson's death. Jacko also unfortunately suffered from all three fates. Unfortunately all the people on the news going to his house or leaving flowers at memorials I think are driven by that same desire for celebrity. Moral of the story: try to Not be famous. Live simply. This is especially hard because as you well know I love pop culture. Am I too cynical?

Ways to capitalize:
1. T-shirts
2. Re-release of albums
3. "Hidden/Unreleased/Secret" songs
4. Books
5. Movies
7. Other celebrities getting paid to comment on his death
8. Memorial concerts
9. Making a Graceland of Neverland Ranch
10. Memoribilia auctions
11. Charity Events
12. National Network TV publicizing his funeral
13. Clothing line/style resurrection
14. Local museums like our Motown museum in Detroit will do doubt have special exhibits and events dedicated to him

So stupid. Join me in the boycott.

Oh, did you know Michael Jackson died?
