DISGRACE__QVC CASHING IN ON MICHAEL JACKSON's DEATH

[sandramaac]

This is just sick. QVC selling hats, tote bags and wallets with Michael Jackson Logo's. It is NAUSEATING!!!! With all of the controvery surrounding his life and death, you think they would not touch this with a ten foot pole. Funny thing, as a QVC buyer from time to time, I tried to call and say how awful I think what they are doing is, and the order number as well as the customer service number is busy for past half hour.

Death of an *icon* sells product.

I work at Kohls... people have been asking for this, so Kohls will be getting them in shortly too...

I'll buy them

Simple marketing and demand. They've been promoing the show in question for a couple of weeks, minimum. I wouldn't buy anything and had forgotten it was on; when I flipped to QVC during a commercial, they'd sold out of all the CDs already.

Frankly, if the OP is going to call and complain, I'm going to call and support QVC's decision.

I think Michael would approve. $$$$$

The estate will get its cut.

As long as the products are licensed, then there is no problem. It was Michael Jackson's choice to license use of his name in this manner.

There are tshirts at Walmart and my mom said they got some in at JCPenney (where she works). People will buy them.

The lines were busy because people were calling to buy the stuff. This happens all the time.

Please, the father is making a mint on all this publicity.
I just don't understand how everyone is so caught up in Michael Jackson.
He had addiction to drugs just like Presley and many others.

This seems as if you aren't upset by the fact they are 'cashing in on his death' but you are upset people are interested to someone who was addicted to drugs.

That was a small hidden portion of his life that has recently come out, and still is debateable (to some). Doesn't mean he wasn't a talented musician, a loving father or an icon to some.
