Michael Jackson Autopsy Documentary Pulled

Under pressure from the Michael Jackson estate and his supporters, the Discovery Channel documentary, "Michael Jackson Autopsy" has been pulled, as having caused offense before it aired. The Discovery Channel decided to air err on the side of caution in not angering those that care for the late pop singer, with a graphic program delving into their view on what his autopsy entailed.

The artwork for the show was particularly disturbing and led some to state, it is exploiting the singer that died of a pharmaceutical drug overdose.

The Judiciary Report would have watched the documentary for educational purposes, being a lover of medicine and science and to write about it on the site as well, but at the same time, there is something quite sad and tragic about it, due to the manner in which Jackson died at age 49.

The Macabre Michael Jackson Autopsy Documentary

The estate of the late pop singer, Michael Jackson, has demanded the Discovery Channel yank a macabre documentary, hypothesizing what his autopsy was like for the program. The program is entitled "Michael Jackson Autopsy." The Jackson family is appalled, viewing the show as exploitation.

The poster for the program is sad, cold and understandably offensive to the grieving family. It features a sequined gloved corpse, strategically covered by a sheet, giving off a grim vibe. Anyway you slice it that can be deemed exploitative.

Gunman Killed Taking Over The Discovery Channel

A mentally ill armed man, James Jay Lee, was shot and killed by police, as he tried to take over the Discovery Channel building. Lee, an environmentalist, was previously ordered to a psych ward, but was released after two weeks, as doctors deemed he was mentally fit. That story sounds familiar (see Lindsay Lohan).

Lee took three hostages in the Discovery Channel's headquarters, demanding they air programming about population control, as he believed the planet would be better off without people, leaving animals to roam freely. It is important to take care of the world God gave us, but sometimes environmentalists go too far.
