It was only a matter of time before people started exploiting Michael Jackson’s death for profit, making AEG Live’s decision to release rehearsal footage in the form of a two hour long documentary all the less shocking.
Let’s face it, if they or any other business person could find a way to make money off the current Rwandan genocide, you’d be seeing hand numbered commemorative lithographs on the Home Shopping Network as we speak, and available on flex pay for just three easy payments of $19.99.
Needless to say, why just release a film when you can double down on a two disc movie soundtrack comprised of album masters, alternate takes, and a spoken poem written by the King of Pop himself.
This Is It may have been your final chance to see Jackson perform live, but it won’t be the last time money hungry opportunists use his name and likeness.
