What would happen to any publication's reputation if they started throwing shit at someone who wasn't about to defend themselves? If you throw enough, some sticks, but is it really worth it? He's dead. Forget about it.
Not only that, but it's never been proven in a court of law that he did molest anyone. On two different occasions.
Kev, I don't think they'll see one bit of any of that memorabilia. I was reading that Jacko overspent by about $30million every year - hence the massive debt.
Michael Jackson is easily one of the best song writers of all time. I was listening to a MJ playlist I made a bit ago, and Will You Be There came on followed by Gone Too Soon. I was ready to piss tears if I wasn't on a train full of menacing Londoners.
Going from "I'M GOING TO SEE HIM LIVE OMG!" to "Fuck me, he's gone" is like...waaaaaaaaa. It still hasn't fully hit me how devastating this is.

When the popstar is something like Atomic Kitten then yeah maybe, but MJ wrote music that everyone enjoyed and if you didn't you are a heartless fool with a dog's knob.
I enjoyed some of it, but his death doesn't make me want to cry or run in to the streets and share my grief with complete strangers, like everything these days it's all blown up out of proportion. I didn't see any MJ appreciation threads before he died.
