OK! Magazine Michael Jackson Cover Picture: Too Much?
by Free Britney at .A photo of a dying Michael Jackson lying on a stretcher is the cover image on the latest edition of OK! Magazine, and is certain to elicit strong, mixed reactions.
The race is on to break the latest news on what may be the biggest celebrity gossip story ever, but do we really need to see "the last photos" of the pop icon?
OK! allegedly paid $500,000 for the cover picture you see below.
While covering Jackson's tragic death is unavoidable, would a tribute such as the commemorative covers released by Entertainment Weekly be more appropriate?
On the flip side, do you want to see all the details because you are interested in the story, even if the images of the dying Jackson happen to be upsetting?
What do you think of the picture on OK's "tribute" issue below? Is it disrespectful to Michael Jackson or are they just reporting the news? Tell us in our poll:
Did the magazine go too far with this Michael Jackson cover?

this is so photoshopped i love the way they painted hair on him like he's gonna sleep in a wig
right, they shouldn't do that. they're don't have respect to the greatest entertainer in the world i hate them from doing.. suck them all...
Its only a photo of him arriving at the hospital......big deal
What a society we are. We bitch and moan when the bodies of heroes of the war are not shown being loaded off of an airplane. Then we bitch when the body of a non hero, all be it a great entertainer "IS" shown. Are we bipolar? It is "NEWS" people. They would have "NO" problem showing you if you wound up looking like a well done chili burger after an accident. Case in point. Sites such as LiveLeak, Rotten, GoreGasm and so on. Like it or not, these photos "ARE" public property and "NOT" private property. The L.A. coroners office is staffed by public servants. Any attempt to bury, hide or destroy these photos is a crime. The Jackson family has "NO" right to these photos. Sad but true. They "ARE" public property and as such, it is only a matter of time before they are released.
no it not real now we are not showing that of him it been said he is alive then again they said his doctor did this then he didn't if he is alive let him rest.
