What are we to think of Jews like Uri Geller and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach who went out of their way to befriend Jackson? Did they influence him for the good? Or did they themselves become contaminated?
I think they probably tried to grab some spot light to themselves.
Anyway, it is yet to be seen what sort of funeral they are going to arrange him. My bet is on a "trans-religion" sermon (Imam, J* witness minister, may be a "rabbi", who knows), with a choir of singing children.
