wtf? how crass

Sky have reached a new low.

Now all we need someone to do is plant a researcher thaqt says 'Michael Loves Young Dick' and we have something that is on the south park level of parody

c0lefax · 14-10-2009, 13:28

Oh dear god

I wondered how long it would be before this sorta thing started, just a bit surprised it's sky.

trec123 · 14-10-2009, 13:29

I must admit, I laughed out loud when I heard this, this morning.

If it wasn't October I'd have sworn it was an April Fool!
I wonder if Derek will get possessed by Michael?

An all time TV low is about to happen, I should imagine!.

pizzaqueen · 14-10-2009, 13:31

sick, sick, sick
although i have no doubt that it will attract loads of viewers.. Derick can do his research in advance anyway, so it wouldn't be convincing even if was genuine.
Just let the man rest in peace

trec123 · 14-10-2009, 13:35

The thing is, even though there's almost nothing about MJ that people don't already know, dippy Derek will probably still manage to screw up by getting his facts wrong!

gkmacca · 14-10-2009, 13:37

DEGSY: Erm, Michael, thank you please, I - what's that Sam? The King of Pop is standing next to you? Wow! Thank you please! Erm, Your Highness, thank you please, how are you?
KING OF POP: Oooooh!
DEGSY: Oh, he sounds really happy! This is wonderful! What's that, Sam? He's very black now? Thank you please! And his nose has grown back? Oh happy day! Your Highness, Michael, is there any chance of a song?
KING OF POP: Ooooh! I can sing my new one, This Is It.
DEGSY: Er, any chance of a good one, thank you please? What about Rock With You?
KING OF POP: ....
DEGSY: I think we've lost him!

Edit: I sadly didn't fully read the OP, ignore me it's one of those days.

Phil 2804 · 14-10-2009, 13:53

To even contemplate at all is sick. To do it so soon since he died he is even worse. And to get Derek ****ing Acorah hosting it is beyond bad taste.

What the hell are Sky thinking? If their subscribers had any sense they should be jamming the customer service phone lines to register their disgust.

Thankfully I don't subscribe to Sky anymore.

mad_dude · 14-10-2009, 13:55

Even if you do believe in seances there is no way you can believe that derek acora is real.

Fat Buddha · 14-10-2009, 14:03

I can`t wait to hear MJ in a Scouse accent

Maidenfan666 · 14-10-2009, 14:17

This has to be genuinely one of the sickest tv shows ive ever heard of. nothing truly shocks me, but this? jesus it makes eurotrash look tasteful.

Is he animatronic?

ILoveMaxwell · 14-10-2009, 14:20

Anyone that knows anything about mediumship would know that you cant contact someone on the other side for at least six months after they have died and thier spirit goes into a healing phase that lasts 6 months or more so theres no way he can be contacted yet so people like Derek Acora should stop using Michael's death as a money making scheme

DEGSY: Hello, Michael, thank you please, er, I-

Thank you for calling The King of Pop. I'm afraid he's not here at the moment to take your call, but he will get back to you when his spirit is fully healed. To listen to this message again, press the ether. To delete it, fall into a violent Degsy fit.

Ollie_h19 · 14-10-2009, 14:37

Awful, awful, awful.

Even if you believe in Derek Acorah's whole thing (which I don't for one second) it's in extremely bad taste, especially so soon after his death.

MrGiles2 · 14-10-2009, 14:40

Yvette Fielding sacked Derek Acorah for bringing Most Haunted into disrepute a couple of years back.

He is obviously not genuine; this is a publicity stunt which we can all do without thank you very much.

The nadir of sick-minded trash.

True.

Thats worse considering sky one should be partially protected from the forces of commercialism since it is partly funded by subscription revenue.

One would wonder if this show has the blessing of Michael Jacksons family. I would presume not particuarly the amount of bad press the murdock rags gave him in life.
