Lets buy a piece of Micheal - $15 only

TIME Magazine is an opportunist...
Like this recent July 09 issue of TIME Magazine, there is an advertisement on the last page, selling something that looked like a Cover Page - and YES it was; a cover of TIME Magazine 1984. The cover sported a unique portrait of MJ that was specially created by Andy Warhol for TIME Magazine.
So according to the ad, now this portrait is available to public [everyone] as a print-out, 'framed', or 'unframed' on as low as 15 something Dollars.





Selfishly did TIME Magazine plan to make money out of an artists death, whether he R.I.P's or not, they are out there making a blast of a monetary gain.
So what exactly is this called? 'Merchandising MJ'?, or more dramatically 'Feeling for the artist?', or they mentioned in the ad, 'Preserving the art?' or so they implied......
The point is if TIME felt so much, and wanted to celebrate MJ, they could have offered some of these framed portraits as gifts to different museums, libraries and other such places. Instead, they are off selling a unique piece like this to the masses with such a petty price tag is pretty insulting to not only the immense significance of MJ but also to the role that MJ played and how he contributed to the entire World's Music Industry.... He was ahead of our time and we couldn't catch up...

The ad persuaded in its last line "OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY" [while we make money out of it]. Did they not do it in his life because ????
I am sorry I'm blank here... and I'm sorry MJ they are taking advantage of your absence ... and I assure you, your real fan wouldn't go for the offer - if that is to de-value your presence.

I mean C'mon TIME; you make me bite my nails off.
Xoxoxo


P.S: Im not buying it - He's too prestigious for me to 'OWN' him. :P
