Michael Jackson's children Paris and Prince Michael, on a recent Universal Studios trip, were seen browsing near Universal CityWalk's Magnet Max store, which sells sad photos of them and brother Blanket mourning at their father’s Staples Center memorial for $1.99 a pop, RadarOnline.com has learned.


Paris and Prince were spotted at the Hollywood theme park on a trip with their father's longtime friend, Elizabeth Taylor, for the Halloween Horror Nights show.
PHOTOS: Pictures Of Grieving Jackson Children Sold At Store

A guest in the shop described how mortified they were by the surreal situation.

“After I saw them, I walked into a store which sells things like T-shirts and magnets and pictures of stars as souvenirs," the guest told us. "I couldn’t believe it when I saw photos of the children grieving at the memorial service for]sale[with other pictures of stars. Sure, tourists often buy pictures of icons like Marilyn Monroe or other movie stars, but they’re of them in their prime."

The guest continued in a rant that, we can safely say, speaks for the masses.


“These are pictures of children’s grief. Who in their right mind would buy them as a souvenir? It’s sick. I only hope the children didn’t go into the store and see them. It’s awful to think their sadness is being exploited like that for a couple of dollars.”

UPDATE: Thanks to MJJLaugh - who provided a link to report your disdain regarding the exploitation of children who lost a father. Children who were photographed during their father's memorial for PROFIT.

Hello Sirena,

Thank you for contacting us.

We regret that a photograph of questionable taste was made available for sale at one of the stores on our property. Although the retail outlet in question is one of over 60 separately owned businesses renting space from our company, we have urged the store's management to remove the photograph from their inventory and we're pleased to inform you that they have complied with that request.

We appreciate your concern in this matter.

Sincerely,

Dustin
Guest Relations Correspondent
Universal Studios Hollywood

Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

KFHSADJKFHSAFHA wtf is wrong with people!? :no: Why would people try to sell ANY pics of Mike's kids as a "souvenir"!?!! :angry:
 
Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

What the hell is wrong with this store?! What kind of sick, twisted person would sell such photos!

Michael, I'm so sorry that these people are making money off of your angels! Something will be done about it! Count on it!
 
Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

:scratch: I wonder who though this up. Like 'Ok, well sell some pictures from 'The Dark Knight' and some of a young Michael Jackson. Hey! Let's add some of his grieving kids!' :no:

I hope the kids didn't see the photos. You can see there is a picture of Mike as a young boy on the left in a red shirt and brown hat.

Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

I dont even know what to say I am that shocked that someone would stoop so low. Selling pictures of grieving kids, its just despicable.
 
Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

:bugeyed That's messed up.

Seriously.
 
Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

They probably paid for right to the photos, but still it doesn't make it right. If they wanted to use an MJ related photo, they have thousands of photos that they can buy online from Wireimage ,Getty and all the like.

Seriously does anyone know if this is aloud like is it not against the law??

As long as they pay for the rights to the photo which I explain above. It's not. :( Still it's shameful for them to do that.
 
Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

Siiiigh* That is 'wrong' is so many ways, I don't know where to start. So I won't..
 
Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

Seriously does anyone know if this is aloud like is it not against the law??
Guess if they payed for the rights it's legal. Though it all starts with the photographer....quite sad. :doh:

I don't understand that news though....so they walked by that store or something?
Hope they didn't see it indeed....damn. Just plain disgusting.

Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

this is such a shame.. poor children :angel:
 
Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

THIS IS DISGUSTING!!!!

Those shop owners arent even human! :angry:
 
Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

This is just so sad that the media is now taking cheap shots at Michael's children.....again ..people will do anything for money...I hope the kids didn't actually see it...:(
 
Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

it's official. nothing can surprise me in this world anymore.
 
Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

This sickens me.

I pray for the children's future.

I wish they would just leave Michael's children alone. They aren't celebrities :(
 
Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

Hold on, what r they doing with pictures like that anyway?? Who wants a picture of them grieving?! See, that's why Michael was so against over-exposing his children during his life. they aren't celebrities, just his kids. I guess these people figured out that since Michael's long gone, they now have a right to do this. *rolls eyes*
 
Re: Jackson Kids Brush By Store Selling Photos Of Them Grieving

it is official in the sense that Universal owns the TV company that aired the memorial..

however it still raises moral questions hence it would need to be addressed and preferably withdrawn from sale
