It's ok to come out with a shirt, showing appreciation to Michael. Your own memorial to the King of Pop. But, it also sucks.
It's kind of a catch 22. You don't want to, not offer your appreciation, and you don't want to be seen as a fair weather fan. Remembering good, profiting from the death of a person, bad. The whole world has to answer right now just to tell you once again, who's bad. Now that, my dear reader, is bad.
The thing is, Michael Jackson is timeless. I am personally against releasing a commemorative t-shirt even though we have in the past. Sean Taylor was different. We used the profits to donate to Joe Gibbs: Youth for Tomorrow, and the Sean Taylor Memorial Fund. This all sounds very, "holier than thou", but what can I say.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go listen to some Michael, get a blank t-shirt, and drench the fabric with my tears. Then I'll sell it as a commemorative shirt. Boogers and all.
Peace Mike, we will miss ye.
