That and they aren't his kids.

This is kind of of a dumb argument. You have to be a biological parent to be a parent now? He's the only father she ever knew.

corey feldman talked a lot of shit about jackson during his trial and afterwards, then did a 180 on all that smack talk right after he died

it either took a lot of balls or a total lack of self-awareness to show up there, considering some of the stuff he'd said

that kinda sums it up

the crowd was awful. I was actually getting angry that no one gassed them, especially during the end.

you want class? how about yelling out and cheering when the family is trying to eulogize the member that died?

or how about the kid who was getting promotion during the funeral? that's tasteful.

It was held in the Staples Center because it was the only venue that could hold that many people and they wanted as much of the public there as possible - not for it to be a concert.

True, I'm just saying the crowd reactions weren't shocking/disrespectful given the venue. It's not like they were cutting up in a cathedral

So you can't sing and have fun at funerals now?

My grandma's funeral wasn't like a normal funeral by any definition. One of my cousin's made a rap and rapped during it. No one gave a crap, it was out of love. It was still a funeral despite us having fun, and we respected where we were.

Point is, you don't pull that crap at a funeral.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #209 on:** July 07, 2009, 05:03:53 PM »

Don't be dumb, Himuro. Nobody had a problem with that. We had a problem with the constant yelling and the totally inappropiate soundbytes of, "We want more!" Someone literally yelled, "Encore!" That's fucking ridiculous. Get your KFC-eatin', troll ass out of here.

As for you, Maurice, the place of the venue should not dictate decorum. If the President comes to your dorm room, are you going to make fart noises and play Halo 3 because you're not at the White House? No.

You misunderstand me. I thought that Phoenix's post bolding the word "show" was a way of suggesting he felt it was more of a show than a funeral simply because of the way it was conducted and the location it took place.

I'd never label a funeral a "show" ever.

I'm all for remembering the dead with song and fond memories, but the audience was disrespectful. And the fact that the memorial was held at the Staples Center doesn't excuse bad behavior.

Someone showed up in a t-shirt? Are you kidding me?

If it had been anyone other than Feldman I'd agree. But Feldman (and Alfonso Ribiero) kinda earned the right to dress like that. Hell Feldman dressed like that in a movie where he did an MJ dance. It's not like Jessica Simpson or someone else showing up in MJ regalia.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #223 on:** July 07, 2009, 07:20:31 PM »

i'm not talking about how he dressed in that sense, i mean he made some pretty slanderous comments about jackson after their falling out, and continued to do so up until his death, when all of a sudden he and michael were "the best of pals all over again!"

it's an obvious publicity grab, pretty tacky, but totally feldman

Totally agree on that last point. As for the former, I can sort of understand why he was frustrated. Still, he always claimed that MJ never molested him. He's hardly the worst 'slanderer' that MJ had to deal with.

The only reason for Jackson's memorial in Staples Center is because he recorded Thriller. That's why he's being buried in a gold-plated casket too. In fact, that's also probably the reason why he didn't actually die in prison with his dick burned off in an acid-lime bath and why he's not being buried in a pine box.

All because of two good songs.
