Who Wants A Piece Of MJ?

Apparently everybody does, even after his death. I can't believe how ridiculous all of this is. No wonder he lived like a recluse in the later part of his life. That much spotlight is just too much for one person.

Anyway, to start off, apparently MJ's nose is missing? I don't think it's any surprise that Michael had image issues. I guess he had some surgery done on his nose that left it badly damaged. Apparently he wore a prosthetic nose, which I didn't know. To be honest, with the media in this country, who knows if it's actually true or not. At any rate, it seems that at some point the alleged prosthesis went missing, leaving, according to a morgue witness, "a small hole where the singer's nose should have been." I'll leave out the obvious "got your nose" joke. It leaves me wondering if some psychopath working in the morgue actually stole it. How disturbing would that be?

Furthermore, MJ was buried without his brain. This is one at least makes some sense, because the brain was apparently kept for the purposes of an autopsy. The linked article says this procedure is somewhat common. Since it's MJ, though, it's obviously part of some perverted scandal.

This last one is the best. MJ's hair will be turned into diamonds. Yes, some company is taking a lock of MJ's hair, which was scavenged during his Pepsi commercial "incident," and is somehow reducing it to carbon, which can then be turned into diamonds. They say they successfully created diamonds from Beethoven's hair as well. Is that even possible? We have the technology to turn hair into diamonds? I thought diamonds were so rare and valuable because of the millions of years of intense heat and pressure required to form them. And we can make them out of hair, just like that? If someone wants to give me a bag full of diamonds, I'll shave my head right now.

Man, even in the after-life people can't seem to leave MJ alone.
