Im for free speech also.... and when I hear thers a Nazi ralley... my
answer is to not attend it or go and
stand ther as in just feeds the hate.... so taking people off the list
because they like to be biggots or
ant jew... doesnt stop the same... what I think turns people hearts is
to be educated and learn there are many grey areas in life.. But nothing
surpasses Love and peace and understanding amony all peoples
As far as pamdering recently passed artist for the sole purpose of
commercializing of the hardship or death
in my opinion is just tacky... In my case just before mr Jackson died
today.. I spoke to a magazine dealer
that I wanted to buy monster mags , beatles and he said I have some
Jacksons stuff.... well years ago he offered them and I have soem " the
jackson story" however I told him today I tried to sell some to the
Motown museum in detroit and they didn sell. yet 1 hour later Michael
died.. and I thought.. well now
they would sell... there were pallet full.. will I sell them????
NO...... why??? - respect........when Linwood Dunn died I knew his
Daughter and knew I could get all kinds of stuff includeing the fire
engine model from Its a mad mad mad mad world......
and so I didnt call............ another dealer bought it..... same with
Carson stuff and I happen to have a
standee of Ed Mcmahon ive had years.... _ NOT for sale............ If I
had farrah... and earlie r I was sent a email with all the farrah
posters......
NOPE- After they have been gone awhile its ok in my opinion.. But there
needs to be a period of allowing respect to rule...... saem withe the
Family when people die they need time as they are vulnerable because
they have had loss... these dealers that go in while the family is upset
are not being honest or fair in my opinion.
However each dealer has there own set of standars and should not
consider mine as a Rule of thumb.
Ive lost many many many deals because I would not inquier and others did.
as far as joking about death.. My mom and I and brother made all kinds
of death Jokes as she was dieing in a Hospise and found it a great
experiance to be holding her hand as she took her last breath...
I was very lucky to have that experiance... so yes Humor helps when
times are stressed and sad...

GUYS,
I agree with Franc 101% in his comment below. Yes Rod was
ghoulish, distasteful and almost shocking in posting such memorabilia
mere hours after Jackson dying. (Others may have felt it was scalding
black humor especially given how the Mexican Bordertown the quality
of his buttons) But banning an individual for poor judgement and
behavior only creates our own version of the OX BOW INCIDENT. And
truly how much time IS appropriate before posting memorabilia of a
dead celebrity? I presently have a couple of rolled Farrah Fawcett
posters from the 1970's that came with a collection of 70's
posters? I just got through shooting them and then she rudely up
and died. Now I ask, should I wait a day, a week, a month?
Did everyone pull listings off Ebay of their JAWS posters when Roy
Scheider died? Who here didn't snicker at a "what wood doesn't float
some 30 years ago?" Or when one found out Ronald Reagan died who
among us didn't wonder out loud "How could you
tell?"...........never mind the infamous "Teddy I think I'm
pregnant......We'll we'll cross that bridge when we get there or
finally lighting a match stick then zig-zagging in front of you
...LOOK RICHARD PRYOR ON FIRE. Hell! Mr. Pryor himself LOVED that
joke and used it to brilliant effect in his post-freebase concerts.
No, outlawing poor taste on MOPO is wrong because then only outlaws
will have poor taste or taste bad.........good grief I sound like GW43.

As for the Mexican lobby card king, I don't agree at all with what
he said. It was tacky and tasteless but I disagree even more with
those who think censorship is the way to go. We live in America,
not Iran. If you feel strongly about it, don't bother opening this
guy's e-mails.
