Well, it's not. I wish there was some way out of this reality, just as much as anyone else, though. I keep thinking of like 10 day or 12 day resurrection miracles ~sigh~
I know that you're basically just kidding at this point, but I have no doubt that rumors of a real hoax will persist for a long time, just like all the "Elvis" sightings (and the "Tupac" sightings and the folks that believe that Jim Morrison of The Doors is still around). Because conspiracy theories are more fun to believe in that facing that someone this amazing and talented could just be gone. You know, in the end you'd have to consider that Michael was excited about the concerts, wanted to be with his children, and then everyone from the ambulance crew to the hospital staff to the family to Frank Dileo to Randy Phillips to the coroner's office... on and on. They'd ALL have to be in on it. So sadly, it's just not the way it is.
