Jacko Boffo

The Michael Jackson documentary This is It grossed $20.7 million worldwide in its first day of release, vindicating Sony's decision to send out 15,000 prints, and proving that people's morbid fascination with recently-deceased stars can indeed translate into box office.

Somebody should start following Mickey Rourke around with a camera. Like now.

Personally, I wouldn't see the Jacko movie even if I were tied into some Clockwork Orange contraption that held my eyes open. I would make myself leave my body the same way the Playboy bunnies do when they have to climb in the sack with shriveled Hefner.

Sorry, but slick pedophile apologia isn't my bag.
