Michael Jackson‘s estate, along with his adoring fans, are furious at the Discovery Channel for advertising a special set to show in the UK featuring a reenactment of the King of Pop’s autopsy.

Co-Executors of the estate, John Branca and John McClain, sent a letter to the President of Discovery, accusing the network of exploiting the deceased star, and operating in “shockingly bad taste … motivated solely by your blind desire to exploit Michael’s death, while cynically attempting to dupe the public into believing this show will have serious medical value.”

True dat. Read the entire letter HERE.

The Co-Executors were extremely upset over a print ad, picturing a covered corpse on a gurney with a sequined glove sticking out:

“We were especially outraged when a sickening print advertisement for the program appeared making light of Michael’s death by depicting a corpse sprawled on a steel gurney covered by a sheet with a hand sticking out wearing Michael’s signature glove.”

Now, more than 9,000 Michael fans have signed an online petition asking the network not to air the show.

Not cool. I’ll be signing it shortly.
