Umm...slogan FAIL:

Staples: That was easy.
RadioShack: You've got questions, we've got answers. (though technically, their current slogan is "Do Stuff")

Subby, you suck.

This. Submitter clearly doesn't work for a company that uses Staples for office supplies.

11,000 tickets seems to be kind of short. Anyone want to place bets on whether there will be Michael Jackson riots?

Proposed Slogan

Staples - What we used to keep Michaels nose on.

Is his corpse actually going to be there? A memorial service doesn't have to include the body, does it?

i thought it was the best headline i've read in a long while, so good job subbie.
 
2009-07-03 01:49:29 PM
Subby, that was the worth headline ever. I seriously lost half of my IQ reading it. You are a disgrace, and if I ever find out who you are, I will hunt you down and kill you. I will slice your throat open and drown you in your own blood and guts. And if you have a spouse and kids, I will find them and do the same, I'll kill your cousins, anyone who means anything to you. Consider this a promise, not a threat.

Wow, nobody famous has ever died before? What about that Elvis guy?

I predict a minimum of 4 people killed in the ensuing stampede.

I heard something about it, I think it's called "MiLKing It Records."

Given the size crowd they're predicting, Staples seems like a poor choice. There's a reason they had the Lakers event at the Coliseum. There's not enough room for a huge crowd now that they replaced the big parking lot across the street with the Nokia Center.

i just watched the oprah interview, and once he said something to the effect of, yeah i was sad for a long time, but i'm starting to become happy finally - i felt so bad for him. that was beginning the end. poor bastard

Has anyone gone to staplesstadium.com yet to see if they have crashed yet?
Just because the tickets are free don't mean they will stay free

riots I would bet on stampede not so much

it has been, what, 28 years since the south central riots. I guess we're about due. I blame Obama.

cryinoutloud: Is his corpse actually going to be there? A memorial service doesn't have to include the body, does it?

They refuse to answer that question.

I think that means the answer is 'YES', his body will be viewed.

If they had answered 'NO' it would alleviate much of the security issues they expect.

Here's my theory on Michael Jackson's death.

It was a suicide. The breaking news is they just found DIPRIVAN in his home. That's used to induce a coma. You can't even get that in a drug store. That combined with anything else like Demerol is a guaranteed sleep to death. No doubt about it.

He probably planned it for a while and had no intention of living to do the London shows, but for his own legacy he wanted to get his STAPLES dress rehearsals recorded.
