The Jackson parents still looking to make money out of Michael with new online video

Now it's Michael's 3 children that are about to be exploited by a new online video that you must pay to view. The video was put together by Michael's mum, Katherine Jackson, and contains footage of the children talking about Michael.

In addition, Michael's father, Joe Jackson, wants to make a star out of Micheal's son, Blanket, who has apparently shown early signs of talent.

This Morning were really pimping the video saying that Michael's son has never been seen speaking on video.

Be interesting to know how much it will cost to view the video.

I find this cashing in on the Michaels' children leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I can imagine the strict discipline that was applied to the Jacksons when they were young boys, will soon begin with Michael's children :(

    Make a star or make a mess like he did with his own son? Has he not learnt anything from his past mistakes? I hope someone with a bit of common sense stops this, these poor kids could do without being exploited.

    I agree. It's all the more sickening when we know the difficulties Michael had with his father growing up. The father should be in jail for abuse instead of free to exploit more young children.

    I sincerely hope that nobody logs in to pay for the online video so that that money making scheme is stopped in its tracks. There's not much chance of that happening though, given the fanbase Michael's got hoping for anything new about him, especially his children. It just sickens me who gets to gain out of it.

    Saw this on Lorraine and I agree how it's sickening. What really upsets me is Joe Jackson pushing for Blanket to be the next Michael when I have rarely seen a more quiet, shy, and uncomfortable looking child. The Jackson adults have learned NOTHING from Michael's death and are a complete and utter disgrace. If it was up to me, child protective services would have taken those poor children away from them when Michael died. I really fear their lives won't end well.

    Both the grandparents are getting on in years, so hopefully they won't be round too much longer to push the lad into being a part of their money grabbing exercise.

    It would usually be a wicked thing to think, but I totally agree with you.

    I wouldn't say that about anyone unless they were deserving of it, and those two awful excuses for human beings are.

    How else can they live their extravagant lifestyle? These people have no discernible talent, other than bleeding the cash cow dry. I believe that if there was ever a DNA/ blood test, those kids would be nothing to do with Jackson. Yet the circus continues. :(

    None of them seem to have made money in their own right for years. The Jackson name and the kids are their only options.

    Terrible, destructive family.

    Joe Jackson is repellant. You only have to watch the documentary Louis Theroux did a few years back (when MJ was still alive) to see what a deeply strange and unpleasant man he is.

    This is the rather embarrassing site, only another $3,197,000 to go. All very strange I must say, a few diehards obviously wanting the merchandise so they've coughed up 3 grand. :blush:

    How awful. Surely they have enough money to live with a good lifestyle, or has the recent court case bankrupted them?

    The fact they ever went to court shows how irredeemably money hungry and outright stupid they are.

    I wonder when this was filmed considering Paris is in it (and with long hair)

    Those few little words just sends shivers down your spine, doesn't it... 'He just needs to be trained.' Poor little Blanket.

    Looks like the page is gone now, obviously deluded if they thought people would cough up $3 million.

    Yes, I just did a search under MJ's (and 'Remembering Michael') name and nothing came up, so it looks like it's been pulled. What were they trying to raise $3million for?:o

    A video of his kids talking about him. It said acquiring rights to Michael's stuff was prohibitively expensive so they had to ask for money from his fans. Who exactly owns his rights anyhow, surely the children? :confused:

    Depends what rights they are referring to...for example the Estate own the rights to his image not the family. J. Marc Schaffel owns the rights to certain film footage.

    Could it be they don't have the rights for certain footage included in their unfinished documentary.

    Blanket should be afraid...very afraid, if Joe Jackson says he's the next Michael Jackson.

    The Jackson family are so money-driven. It's shameful...not only trying to make money from their son's death but trying to exploit his kids also. So glad they lost that lawsuit against the concert promoter's for MJ comeback 'This Is It' concerts just before his death. It looks like they'll stop at nothing just to line their pockets.

    They are all just money hungry. It is sickening to think that Michaels parents would do this but look what they put their children through! I do not think that they always wanted to be pushed that hard either.

    I think once some people get a taste for money they go a bit mad.

    The Jacksons went from being very poor to extremely rich and now they cannot live without their regular 'fix' of it.

    For many years they were funded by MJ, now he is gone and they seemingly don't earn in their own right they have to find new avenues to keep their extravagant lifestyles afloat.
