Michael Jackson dug James Brown’s fly casket so hard, he picked one out to bling his way into the afterlife. How Egyptian.
The pimptastic ride coffin, the “Promethean” model, is lined in blue velvet, cast in solid bronze and plated in 14-karat gold. Classy! The coffin isn’t a stock model, and it’s being custom made by Indiana-based Batesville Casket Co. The flashy casket costs $25,000.
The cash-strapped Jackson is being sent off at the Staples Center in equally broke-ass Los Angeles. Older brother Jermaine confirmed to press that a private service for family and friends would precede the grotesque spectacle public funeral set for Tuesday morning.
Tickets for Michael Jackson’s funeral are expected to be free, although the city has not yet confirmed how they plan to distribute them. Tick tock, LA… The organizers for Jackson’s ill-fated and seemingly fatal concert series in London spoke to Fox News and indicated the complex issues of crowd control and ticket distribution were being deferred to crowd-control and event organizing expert… Katherine Jackson?

Do you know how many people Jackson's self-indulged casket could feed? Many. I just don't get all the glory this pediphile is getting. I mean did Jackson serve in our war? Did he go over there for our soldiers' and entertain? Just one soldier who died in the line of duty, JUST ONE, deserves more headlines than this drug addict.

It is funny how people judge other people. We do not have that right to judge others. This man was and still is the best singer ever. He touched many peoples lives in so many ways. No one knows if the alligations are true. But it looks to me that they are not since he was not found guilty of the charges. Even Michael said himself the news and the media never give the good about him just the bad. What about the time he helped a little boy get a liver?? He put a lot of time into that, making sure that this little boy did not die. He found one for this little boy. What about all the money he has donated to charities ?? What about all the good he has done in this world?? It is sad that people have to judge you even after you are gone. What about when he had terminally ill children come to Neverland to watch movies something that normally could not do?? He loved children and he loved doing for others. But the sad thing is the media does not report the GOOD that he has done. They see alligations and everything else. The thing is he never was convicted of all this. So you all need to let this man rest in peace. Something he never had when he was here. He enjoyed life and helping others and his music got you on your feet and dancing and singing. We all have problems and it seems he had more problems because he was an easy target! I hope people will let him rest in peace. Michael Jackson deserves that. He has left behind so many fans, he knew he had a lot of fans. He loved his fans more than anything else! R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON.. May you find peace in heaven! You will never be forgotten!!

Exactly! Why does it matter if you're buried in a pine box or a $25,000 one? It's going in the ground, to rot. Think how many starving children or homeless people this could have helped? What is wrong with the world?

Michael was the greatest entertainer of all time. When I listen to him sing “Great to Be Here” as a pre-adolescent, I can't stop crying. Michael provided the background music to my painful childhood and yet he didn't get to have a childhood.
His brilliance, his natural talent — I am glad I lived when he did.
Michael, R.I.P. in God's Care, you did well here, your very short time on this earth.
