Re: Universal Message : a line has been crossed

I can understand the skepticism of some who think that giving this more attention will only lead to more promotion and viewership for the Discovery channel, but its the risk that have to be taken.

Michael Jackson was a human being just like everyone of us and he deserves the same rights as any other human being on this planet. The fact that he is no longer with us should'nt deter that. Michael was a performer, a showman in life, but in no way should the Discovery Channel get away with continuing the show in such a gruesome manner!

And the thing about this is, if its successful, then you know one of those damn networks in the US will buy the rights to air it, so everything has to be done to stop it!

I've merged all the threads on this subject just to tidy up the forum a little bit. This thread will be for all the action that we can do against the channel/programme from now on. Thanks for your co-operation.

I logged onto MSN and it popped up in that window page that always pops up. It's news on Bing but also if you type his name in google and yahoo and it's bad press so that's good.

Discovery cancels Michael Jackson autopsy TV show


(Reuters) - The Discovery television network on Friday said it canceled plans to air a reenactment of the autopsy on Michael Jackson's body, citing an upcoming court hearing and concern by the late pop star's estate.

The show, "Michael Jackson's Autopsy: What Really Killed Michael Jackson," had been set to air in several countries of western Europe and in the United Kingdom on January 13.
"Given the commencement of legal proceedings beginning next week, and at the request of Michael Jackson's estate, the scheduled broadcast of the medical documentary related to Michael Jackson's official autopsy has been postponed indefinitely," Discovery Networks International said in a statement.

A Discovery spokesman declined comment beyond the statement.
The "Thriller" singer died suddenly of a prescription drug overdose on June 25, 2009, age 50, only weeks before beginning a series of comeback concerts. An autopsy by Los Angeles officials showed Jackson died chiefly of an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol that he used as a sleep aid.

Discovery's show, which was not scheduled to air in the United States, was an unofficial, fictional account of what the autopsy must have been like and its results.
But Jackson fans worldwide protested in an online petition launched earlier this month, and the co-executors of his estate sent a letter this week to Discovery Networks calling the program "insensitive" and "in shockingly bad taste."
