Dang Im Getting Alot Of Comments And Messages And Stuff About L.A. Paying For Michael Jackson Memorial. It 1.4 Million I Believe. But Come On How Much Money Did Michael Jackson Give To Charity Like About 14 Or 15 Million. Dang Im Sure He Didnt Think Twice. Just Calm Down. They Arent Wasting It. Its A Little Weird And Stupid But I Do Agree With It. And The Family Needs Help As Well. What Do You Think?

I think the people in L.A. should be complaining about the cost. Why in the heck are they paying for it, anyways? So he was a celebrity. Big Deal! The state is in a financial mess which means the counties and the cities are too, even big cities like L.A. yet they have funds for something as stupid as this? I'll bear that in mind when they go to the ballot measure route to try to raise my taxes again

Yep, it is. And, I have no doubt that it will be a constant problem. Wait until the next celebrity croaks and they want to have a Memorial too. What's the city going to say? You don't count as much as the last guy? I rather doubt it. According to the news MJ was still worth around 400 million, so that money could have easily covered the cost of the silly memorial for him.
