Time to get your Charles Cosimano on, as America's celebrity-industrial complex goes into Defcon 5 in advance of tomorrow's apotheosis of Michael Jackson:
Downtown hotels were quickly filling. Police, trying to avoid a mob scene, warned those without tickets to stay away because they would not be able to get close to the Staples Center.British Airways reported a surge of bookings as soon as the memorial arrangements were announced. Virgin's trans-Atlantic flights to San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los Angeles were all packed with fans and VIPs, said spokesman Paul Charles.
"I think this is America's version of Princess Diana. People want to be in the vicinity. People from the UK and elsewhere want to share their emotions together," Charles said.
America's Princess Diana. Vom. Could these obsequies possibly get more craptastic? Maybe they'll set Elizabeth Taylor on fire, or something. Tito, pass me the Demerol...

"Rod Dreher's Hatefest '09 is a rockin' option"
A person who claims not to have any vices is bound to develop some pretty obnoxious virtues.
-Elizabeth Taylor
Get the YouTube video of Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog reporting from Michael Jackson's trial and you will know all ye need to know about the pointy nosed one and his fans.
The British Airway's guy was right-this IS like Di's death, only with more people shouting "Testify!" in the audience.
Come on. Rod's not being hateful, just snarky.
And I have to say the thought of of them lighting up old Liz is pretty funny. Not sayin' I want to see them do it.. But still.
One of the French girls in the community I live in (all Swiss, Chinese, French) told me that Micheal is going to be buried in a gold sarcophagus.. Poor guy. I mean, it's either snark, or depression. Sometimes you gotta go snarky, in psychological self defense..
So glad I'm in Switzerland, and nowhere near a t.v.. If it weren't for Rod, I'd have little idea of any of this..
