OK! magazine pays $500k for death photo of Michael Jackson

They should have paid that. And then REFUSED to use it. That would be celebrating his life.

you know what, I just can't get my head around the thinking behind the use of the picture of a dying person as a cover page tribute edition. I guess this is what is meant by 'don’t get you emotions involved at work'. OK magazine does it with first class honours! How can they seek profit in this inhumane manner with the hope that through public anger they get even more money and publicity! I think we need a new kind of celebrity the 'paparazzi' then a magazine titled ‘Paparazzi to the tabloid paparazzi’ can go into circulation which will be a dedication to evil and distasteful journalism. So that all, those who print insensitive materials about celebrities and the general public can be put under the spotlight. Then maybe when they lose a loved one their last agonising moments can be put on the front covers for big bucks as a tribute ,after all what has emotions got to do with it, it’s the money that counts and see how they will appreciate it then.

Please Cooperative Social responsibility and ethical behaviour is not all about recycling and preserving the environment, Morality and respect for the dead should be highlighted.

Oh wow, they are f*cking sickos! It was an extremely crass decision to post such a nasty picture of a dead man on the front page. And their excuse for doing so is just pathetic. This Sara Ivans, who ever the hell this non entity of a wretched scumb bucket she is, I wonder how she would like a picture of her mothers dead corpse doing the rounds on the magazine covers.. Someone ought to pull this woman aside and give it a thump in the gob

Here is a petition someone set up to recall this edition of OK! http://www.petitiononline.com/MJTribue/petition.html All will be forwarded to the press complaints comission .. I also hear that there is currently a representitive on the case and is looking to take lega action.. I hope they do and sue the fucking arse off of this piece of trash magazine

EVERYONE deserves the right to die with dignity. I'm surprised there isn't a huge uproar about this picture. How can the person\(s) who sold it sleep at night? Truly disgusting. They say he was "dying", but how do they know for sure? From what I've read, the people round Jackson took 50+ minutes to call the emergency services.

Though it's not just OK! magazine; most tabloids in the UK had this picture on the front page..

http://www.petitiononline.com/MJTribue/petition.html It is indeed utter trash. The fact that OK call it a tribute...well it would be funny if it were humorous. Perhaps when the repugnant, loathsome editor passes on the magazine should publish them in their coffin "As a tribute".
