Michael Jackson dying body photo has been used for OK! magazine's cover. Many fans are outraged that OK! has the nerve to publish the photo of Michael Jackson's dying or even dead body lying on a stretcher.

MSNBC reported OK!’s spokesperson Brian Strong statement justifying the photo. The statement says, “The cover represents an event in the history of an extremely entertaining and controversial figure and is sure to provoke some emotion and questions from readers and fans about the circumstances. The news often does.”

The NY Post reports , Sean Combs and Jay-Z are said to be so furious, "they're organizing a boycott,".


It's not ok for OK! magazine, but it's fine for the Insider?
OK! Magazine published Michael Jackson's dying body on the cover. Publishing that photo was very low, but how about the Insider showing the same picture on TV and their website? Are boycotts being organized against them as well?

OK! reportedly paid $500,000 for the picture. Who sold it to them? The Insider claimed the picture was exclusive. The website clearly says "The Insider" has the exclusive last photo of Michael Jackson before his death.

As a consumers, we can choose not to support OK! magazine by buying their trash issue. How do consumers not support the Insider? The only thing a consumer can do is turn off the Insider when it comes on. When someone see that OK! cover with Michael Jackson they can clearly see what they are buying. When a TV show chooses to air that photo, during a time most people are watching television, we do not have the same luxury.

Does anyone else think that the Insider may have sold it to OK! magazine?
