MJ-Related Pancake Painting A Little Too Intense For Ebay
Speaking of important Michael Jackson news, pancake-painter-to-the-stars Dan Lacey has some! He painted a moving portrait of “Joe Jackson with a Michael Jackson memorial ticket and a pancake upon his head.” Ebay is censoring it!
It was all a big misunderstanding though. It probably just got flagged for having “Michael Jackson memorial ticket” in the description. So then Ebay put it back. But now they’ve pulled it down again. “Ebay has told me that they need to consult with their legal department before allowing the painting to be relisted,” says Lacey.
What are you afraid of, Ebay? Is the truth about the MJ-JJ-Pancake connection a little “too much” for the boardroom types? We wouldn’t want material like this falling into the wrong hands, hmmmm? You cannot hold the people down, Ebay. We are legion.
In the meantime you can buy this other MJ-related painting by Dan Lacey, which is equally dramatic:

Lacey is a hack. he isn't all that good at painting, but because people thought pancakes were funny the first time they saw his work, they keep talking about this crap. He is like the Tyler Perry of artists.

Ok, everybody that dies does not automatically sit for a portrait with Tupac as a consolation prize. Also, Pac has no business being on a mural between Martin Luther King and the President. Nor should there be a Pac/Michael Jackson single released, no matter how awesome it could be. Long story short, let Pac and Michael rest in peace and stop the insane merchandising. Fuck!

Uh, maybe it's because Joe Jackson has a (subtle) yet vampire-esque drop of blood hovering on his lower lip...HISS...SSSSSSSSS?
I only wish there was more blood dripping from that man's mouth. Then it would be more realistic.

Dan Lacey: I ain't mad at you. Hamilton: this thinly veiled shot at Makaveli does not go unnoticed. Need I remind you of the company line?
@m4ximusprim3: That is actually more courtroom terminology than I know sadly..
The Joe Jackson painting will inevitably be displayed in the Neverland Museum, near the snack and memorabilia shop.

So, um, is it ok to write "Tupac and 12 year old MJ in heaven" slash fiction?
This is all well and good, but get back to painting my be-saddled Olbermann, Dan-o!

Every time Gawker runs a Joe Jackson story my brain starts playing the glockenspiel chimes in the song "Steppin' Out." In my head. Endlessly. This is not a welcome development.
When are they finally going to have the fucking funeral?
@freedc: Yeah, at the end of the day, I think that sums it up pretty well.

@ithabeleng metesunyane: that series of sculptures were horrifying in sooo many ways.
@ithabeleng metesunyane: I believe there's actually three of them, plus one artist's proof. I believe Francois Pinault owns one of them.
Eli Broad might own another..just off the top of me head there.
@Ladies and Gentlemen-Mr. Burt Bacharach: I object!
I want it. but I don't have the 25 clams. So I'm using courtroom terminology in hopes of intimidating you. See? Habeus Corpus!

@Mymoustache: There is a Jesus Juice joke in there somewhere.
Jokes aside, RIP to a beautiful, talented, and sometimes tormented soul.

@ChillbearLatrigue: When Tupac and MJ emerge from hiding for a very special concert!

@Mymoustache: Yeah, I have to admit that while trying to read the article, I found myself continually distracted by the MJ/Tupac painting. It's just so damned odd. I feel that it is my mission in life now to hunt that painting down and secure it in a secret vault or something equally as dramatic.
I am a lawyer and I say it is fine!!! I would gladly bid $25 for that beauty to be hung in my office.
@Mymoustache:
I just saw Joe Jackson outside the Staples Center on CNN hawking his stupid CDs. Looked like at least some people were buying them.
Does anyone know who owns the Koons sculpture of Jackson with Bubbles the Chimp?
I wonder if that is part of Bubbles' personal art collection. He could trade that in for a lot of bananas!
Joe Jackson with a pancake and michael jackson memorial concert ticket on his head - brilliant.
Young Michael Jackson with shirtless Tupac - disturbing.
Dan Lacey, you are a fucking GENIUS!
