Finally, someone realized they are treating this like the circus it has become

After nearly a day of Jackson family members arguing, the family has decided to drop their plan to charge the public $25 to attend a memorial service for Michael Jackson at Staples Center.

I reported on Thursday that the family planned to charge $25 admission to Jackson’s memorial service, causing public outrage. The family had not planned to announce they were going to charge admission until the time got closer for Tuesday’s memorial, but after it leaked to the media they were forced to reconsider. Backed into a corner by the bad publicity, family members blamed a close family associate for leaking the news and decided the only way they could save face with fans was to drop the plan to charge.
