Michael Jackson: A Follow-up from Beyond the Grave

michael-jackson-beyond-1

Hello again, Smartass radio’s Michael Jackson correspondent Megan Riebesell here, just checking in to follow up on the status of our dearly beloved.  As we all could have predicted, not even MJ’s passage into eternity could ease the controversy that besieged him all his life.  Back here on earth, we are still picking away at every morsel of flesh that our ugly beaks can scrape off his bones.  People are still making  careers out of revealing any kind of sensitive information they can dig up in his wake, so-called “artists” are  still depending on his legacy for their own shot at celebrity or capital, and the fat, greedy vultures of the world are still milking his hard-earned masterpieces for every pathetic cent they can steal.  However, do not fret, I am here to remind everyone that Michael’s pure soul, which was always too powerful to be contained by a simple human body, has finally reached its proper ranking among the gods, as an immortal presence.  Of course, Michael’s kingdom in the great beyond is immune to the commotion of silly, frantic scavengers still chirping his name down here.  Rest in assurance, MJ smiles down on all of his children still, giggling at our antics.

That being said, skimming through Jacko’s most recent controversy was actually a pretty hilarious and  of course bizarre venture. Where do I even begin?

It’s A Little Outrageous That The Stores Attached To Bowling Alleys Are Called ‘Pro-Shops’

I passed a bowling alley today and noticed that attached to the building was a very interesting looking store. It was called the “Pro Shop.” Now, I consider myself to be a pro in most aspects of life so, naturally, I walked inside to see what was the dealio (pro-talk for ‘situation’). Much to my chagrin (pro-talk for the sudden embarrassment upon realizing I am a bowling ball store ) I found that I was not in a pro store, I was in a bowling ball store. Whoever came up with the audacious idea to start calling bowling ball suppliers “pro” must have been a real marketing genius, but I think its high-time that this practice be ended.

(Insert Awful Michael Jackson Joke Here)

Michael Jackson is so broke he’s selling his stuff. He’s apparently selling 2,000 items he owns including his glittery single glove and the gates to Neverland Ranch. Interested parties can bid in person or online.

Better than this.

People who collect other people’s shit bother me. Why do they insist on having things that celebrities once owned? I realize the point isn’t to own a sparkly glove, because if you really wanted to own a sparkly glove, you could just buy one here for 3 bucks. But, what would one do with The Glove? I’m sure it would be put in some hyperbaric chamber like David Duchovny‘s hand in Zoolander, but if I were in possession of such an item I think I’d have to wear it around.
