Remembering MJ on Evite

If the media circus surrounding Michael Jackson’s death weren’t enough… If the buckling of the internet itself weren’t enough… Now we’re getting the commercial tributes.

It’s one thing to see that Amazon encourages me to “Discover the great works of Michael Jackson“:

Regulating food advertising

A good point made in this article from The Atlantic:
