Now ordinarily I’d say that it’s WAY too soon to make money off the death of Michael Jackson… but c’mon, you guys! Have you checked out this amazing “Thriller” lithograph from the highly regarded and esteemed “American Historical Society”? And how Michael is pictured “wearing a white suit that’s as pure as his heart”? I think you’d have to be some kind of monster not to pay the low, low price of $10 for this one-of-a-kind collectors item, that, if you order right now, you’ll also receive a “super bonus” commemorative lithograph that pictures Michael Jackson in his regal attire—”an image fitting for a man who sits on the throne of music royalty.” If you are truly mourning his death, and want to insure his entrance into heaven (because we all know where he’s going otherwise) ORDER NOW!!!

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)
