When the "King of Pop" kicked the bucket, a certain funeral home in Melbourne's east decided to make the most of the occasion.
They decided to sponsor a ceremony to "honour" Jackson as part of the most nauseating marketing campaign since Maccas decided to flog their junk food by linking it to ANZACs.
Here is how it worked. Set up a cheap-arse ceremony to get the punters in the door. Call all the newspapers, radio and TV stations to announce the event. Get a bunch of free advertising.
Under normal circumstances the chief of staffs at every TV news units should have told the organisers of this promo to fuck off, but, it's so cheap to send out a team to cover this utterly unnewsworthy event.
Hang your heads in shame Channel 9 The Hun and 10. At least Channel 10 didn't mention to company by name.
New Idea doesn't pretend to be anything other than a low rent rag for vacuumous ninnies. At least that makes them slightly more honest than the rest of the tabloid media.
