Being Dead is Big Business! Get your Death Bump here!


I really really don't want to talk about Michael Jackson; I really don't. In fact if I never hear his name or see his image again, I'd be happy. But sometimes you just have to say something.

According to Q scores celebrities who have had problems with their image while alive have proved to be more marketable after death, and of course they are predicting a "death bump" with MJ!

fyi
