No leg to stand on

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

A South Carolina funeral home was ordered closed today by a judge after a brief hearing concerning the treatment of one of their cadavers.

In 2004, one of the employees was having trouble fitting a Mr. James Hines (who was 6′7″) into his coffin. He decided to take matters into his own hands and came up with the crafty idea of using a chainsaw to hack his legs off.

This matter was brought to the attention of the police in April, when a former employee finally came forward. The body was exhumed and the story was confirmed, leaving the owner of the funeral parlor with…..no leg to stand on.

The rumours are getting more and more bizarre – Michael will be buried without his brain, Michael will tour the world via a hologram, Michael wanted to be buried with Elvis…

But the latest rumour has sparked our imagination like no other – probably because we want to believe it …

Michael Jackson made an appearance on Larry King this week, a week after he had died. Check out the footage and decide for yourself.

One thing’s for sure, Michael Jackson is and will always be immortal!

Not since the deaths of Diana and Elvis has the world been in such mourning.

The anticipation for the funeral is already huge.

Rumour has it that Micheal’s coffin has been ordered for Tuesday’s funeral.

It’s a $25,000, solid bronze, 14-karat gold plated, custom casket.
Although extremely rare James Brown is said to have been buried in a similiar model.

Watch this space.

We’re back. Back from the dead!

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

It’s been a while folks.

Ironically enough, our excuse is simple, a death.

A death of someone so young, so precious, so innocent and so loved that even MFF who are renowned for laughing in the face of death were left paralyzed with grief.

However, that chapter is now officially closed. We about to pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off and start all over again.

Are you ready …
