OK! Magazine has reportedly spent a whopping $500,000 to tarnish its own image. The magazine ambitiously spent the exorbitant amount to snatch Michael Jackson’s last pic but made a blunder by putting the pic on the cover of their “tribute” issue.
According to New York Post,
OK! magazine spent more than $500,000 on the “last” picture of Michael Jackson on a stretcher and possibly dead — but was it worth it? Our well-placed source says some staffers objected to owner Richard Desmond’s decision to put the ghoulish picture on this week’s cover — and it looks like advertisers and readers may agree. The source told us, “Media buyers have canceled upcoming meetings to discuss rates. It’s a disgrace. They’ve sunk to a new low.” In addition, Sean Combs and Jay-Z are said to be so furious, “they’re organizing a boycott,” according to our source.
Well, I think OK! seriously needs to learn some lessons on how to sensationalize their issues without resorting to such tasteless gimmicks. The pic is not only disgraceful, but totally inappropriate for their ‘so called’ tribute issue.
