Help Pay for Michael Jackson’s Funeral
Did you enjoy yesterday's memorial for King of Pop Michael Jackson? The penniless government of Los Angeles — which purportedly spent $3.5 million on security for the event — has set up a website where you, the MJ fan, may donate a few dollars to help cover funeral costs, so that the city's elementary schools can reopen and electricity can be restored to traffic lights.
