OK! does it again…

Not satisfied with publishing a Jade Goody memorial issue several days before her demise, sordid UK celeb rag, OK! has plumbed new depths of ethical bankruptcy with its “loving” and “prayerful” tribute to the memory of Michael Jackson.

Having paid $500,000 for it, Richard “Dirty” Desmond, the owner of OK! also published the tasteful corpse photo on the front covers of the magazine’s sister publications, the Daily Star and the Daily Express. In 2006, the Express published this article, criticising the “sickening” publication of post-accident pictures of Princess Diana. Even leaving the glaring hypocrisy aside, the story is somewhat ironic considering the same publication had spent the entire previous decade feasting upon the very same corpse.

In a pathetic attempt at justifying the Michael Jackson image, a spokesman for OK! said, “The picture is not one of a person in agony but with his eyes closed being attended to by medical staff.”

He wasn’t in agony and his eyes were closed because he was most likely already dead when the picture was taken. So that’s OK! then…
