Los Angeles, CA - According to noted snooty theatre critic and Hollywood gossip columnist, Smedley Laflame Esq., Michael Jackson, A.K.A. The King of Pop, was buried 50 years too late.
Said Mr. Laflame, "Imagine if you will a world unencumbered by the legacy of Michael Jackson. One could rest easy knowing that there never was the foulest stench in the air, that there never was the funk of forty thousand years, that there never were grizzly ghouls from every tomb, closing in to seal your doom".
ERRATUM: Unfortunately, the editor has noticed a glaring error regarding this column. When asked to produce an item regarding the lateness of Michael Jackson's funeral, the writer should have been told 'late by 50 minutes' rather than by 50 years.
As a result, the writer had misrepresented the nature of the article when asking Smedley Laflame Esq. for his thoughts. We apologize for this discrepancy.
