    Maybe they're having it at Staples Center cuz it might be better for video recording and distributing the event for profit. Its all about the AEG promoters trying to recoup their costs. Or maybe its strategically having it at the most enclosed place as possible to not draw crowds, shutting out people trying to sneak a peak from the outside.

    I thought of going but no one's gonna be able to see anything. His tomb's not even gonna be there. So unless you think you can buy a ticket from someone (man I'd love to have scalped one of those), better to sit at home and watch on TV.

    TMZ.com is streaming it right now. Also, I wanted to know which station would have the best coverage? I wanted to record the whole thing. I'm hearing E is doing their coverage, commercial free.

    You never realize how much someone is loved until they are gone. There was so much Michael hate, but now those haters profess love for MJ.

    It would have pretty neat if they had done this at a stadium and had like a procession through town. I mean MJ was always an entertainer. It would be crazy to see how many people would show up.

    Thats what I don't like. The media basically burned him alive when he went through those hard times. Now, he dies and everything changes and now they're all MJ fans. Makes me sick.

    flipping through the TV, 12 stations are covering this on basic cable.

    At least there isn't a mob around staples, but I guess it makes more sense if they are watching it on TV,

    Apparently, about 750 million people around the world will be watching this thing today.

    That's quite impressive, but I'm sure more people would tune in to see a Bob Dylan memorial...

    ;)
