マイケル・ジャクソン財団からディスカバリーへの熱烈な手紙

マイケル・ジャクソンの解剖番組がディスカバリーで1月に放送される予定であることはご存知でしょう。何週間もの間、ファンはこのネットワークにメールや抗議の手紙を送り続けてきたが、適切な返答は得られていない。彼らはオンライン抗議フォームも設置した。 (サイン) (電話に参加して抗議メールを送信する） 今回、マイケル・ジャクソン財団の理事であるジョン・ブランカとジョン・マクレーンは、ディスカバリーの社長兼最高経営責任者であるデビッド・ザスラフに激しい手紙を送った。 (この手紙を画像形式で取得する) In the letter, they described Discovery’s performance as “astonishingly bad taste”: “Your decision to produce and air this program is astonishingly bad taste and indifferent to Michael’s family’s feelings, and it appears to be driven solely by your blind motivation to profit from Michael’s death. You are trying to deceive people by claiming this program contains important scientific values.” The letter specifically refers to an advertisement for the program, in which a body is shown lying on an autopsy table and covered with a white sheet, while the hand of the body—embroidered with a white, sequined glove—falls out from under the sheet. The white glove is, in a way, a universal flag of the Pop King. The foundation described the ad as “sickening,” “nauseating,” and “heartless,” saying: “We were especially hard-pressed and deeply upset by the nauseating advertisement related to this program.” Although Branca and McClain are aware of their lack of legal ability to stop the program from airing, they are trying to persuade Discovery to adhere to ethics and halt the broadcast. Discovery has refused to comment on the letter. Source: eMJey / TMZ / hollywoodreporter.com
