Joe Jackson Assists Michael Jackson’s Posthumous Valuation
And you think your parents are bad? This Is It came out over the weekend, and to celebrate, Joe Jackson isn’t remembering his son’s life. He’s telling Extra that Michael Jackson’s worth more dead than he is alive.
No, really. Yesterday, there was this tiny item buried in the New York Post. Maybe they wanted to be nice to a publicist? Or maybe because this kind of thing was too ghoulish even for Halloween.
Michael Jackson’s dad thinks the singer is “worth more dead than when he was alive.” Joe Jackson, 80, let that slip last night in an interview on the syndicated TV show “Extra.” Jackson — decked out in creepy sunglasses and a blinged-out, black, chalk-stripe suit — quickly recognised his gaffe and blurted out, “I’d rather have him alive.”
One hell of a necrophiliac Freudian slip, right? Extra has the item up on their site, but no video, yet: again, wonder why. Meanwhile, when the early week’s numbers for This Is It aren’t being praised/castigated/positioned both ways by Nikki Finke, the movie’s been predicted by Box Office Guru to possibly — maybe — break the $US20 million mark by the end of the weekend, which is short of the earlier predicted $US30 million mark.
Whether or not it’s “impressive” or a “disappointment”, however? Meh. Leave it to studios and maths geeks. All that matters is that Joe Jackson sees dollah dollah bills, y’all. Which means Jackson is a star yet again. Give this man awards, Al Sharpton! Abusive in life, abusive in death. Parents won’t stop being embarrassing until the universe just flat-out ends.

PS
You wish YOUR Dad even KNEW your name.
First of all who in the hell would talk about their son like that but Joe Jackson,I mean really come onnow he always seems like he is drunk all of the time,or on crack of something, Iwouldn’t but stock in anything Joe Jackson says because anyone that have seen him as well as seen him in the way he acts towards Michael Jackson when he was alive and now he’s dead he to act more bizzare as usual,to me if you want to know my opinion that Joe Jackson should be in a mental institution because it is plain to see that he is crazy as hell!!!!!
First, YOU donk( have the video, so you don’t know the context of what he was saying AND you have, therefore, no proof that his statement that “Ikd rather have him alive” was any sort of correction or addition. I read this days ago and the quote I read was one long statement. Don’t misconstrue his statement. As for seeming drunk, Joe Jackson is old and many think senile. Why else would he say Omer Bhatti was MJs son when he’s not? If he were, his Will would not have read as though he had no other children than Paris, Prince and Blanket. Omer is committed and loyal to Michael and if he were Michael’s son, Michael certainly wouldn’t omit him.
