the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Michael Jackson: The Inside Story: What Killed the King of Pop?’

Colonel Mustard in the library with the candlestick? The CIA and the Mafia and the ghost of Lee Harvey Oswald? No?

On June 25th, 2009 the death of Michael Jackson shook the world. With a musical legacy spanning decades, he was without doubt one of the world s most influential musicians and a true legend in his own lifetime. As more and more details surrounding Michaels death surface, still more questions arise. It seems like everybody has their own theory as to what happened to the king of pop; from a calculated murder to a tragic suicide. One thing is for certain, there is more to this story than it first appeared. Get the inside story, with interviews and personal accounts from family and those closest to him (Jermaine and Tito Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor, Diana Ross, Uri Gellar and Quincy Jones to name a few). Looking back at the highs and lows of Michael s life this inside story examines the contributing factors and events leading up to his death; including the infamous Pepsi Commercial accident, reportedly the start of his supposed medication dependency. Featuring fantastic footage throughout from rehearsal footage and video of life on the road to the fateful 911 call and a touching look at his memorial service, including Paris Jackson’s heartbreaking eulogy for her father. This programme attempts to uncover the truth of just who or what lead to the death of the King of Pop whilst offering a sensitive look at the man and the tragedy: this is a must see for any Michael Jackson fan.

Ah, it was Liz Taylor who killed Michael at the behest of the Grays, because the Grays are tired of the Reptilians’ domination of Earth (Michael was a Reptilian, doncha know). You think it’s a coincidence that Gray plant Rush Limbaugh has gotten so much more powerful in the year since Michael’s death? Prove me wrong...

All this cashing in on Jackson's demise is bad enough, but now that it has been a year, I am increasingly bothered by the sentimentalization and whitewashing (so to speak) that's been part and parcel of it. While a truly gifted artist whose work is worthy of celebrating, as a person he simply was not the saint his rabid fans and more and more media products depict him as; he wasn't a tragic hero, but someone who tragically let his life go to pot. I worry that we'll never have a clear view of the person he really was, just because actually examining these things objectively might reveal some ugly truths.
