Clearly, someone needs to explain the meaning of the world ‘tasteless’ to Joe Jackson. Not for the first time, the father of the deceased King of Pop, Michael Jackson, is attempting to make a quick buck off his son’s legacy.
Joe’s latest business venture involves Michael inspired fragrances for both men and women: “Jackson’s Tribute for Men” and “Jackson’s Legend for Women”. Unfortunately for him, the plan hit a snag this week due to issues over whether Joe had legal rights to Michael Jackson’s name.
Reluctant to pass up a lucrative, money- making opportunity and take the moral high ground for a change, Joe made it clear he’d do everything to make sure the products see the light of day, or rather, shop windows: “I am the father, he was my son and I can decide what to do on his behalf and in his honour. There are many interests around the legacy of my son, companies that want everything, but I have a foundation that allows me to launch projects with his name, the name of my son. Some people will always try to prevent my efforts…but they can’t do anything.”
What a class act.
