Sure to rival the public memorials of Evita, that woman who made Queen Elizabeth II's life a living hell, and Jesus H. Christ, Michael Jackson's viewing will be, if reports stand correct, splendiferous. To say least.
According to The Daily Mail, "the singer's body will be transported to his funeral in a white carriage led by two horses, instead of the traditional black vehicle, it is understood." His corpse will then "be placed on show in a glass coffin at Neverland, to give fans a chance to say their personal farewells." What's more, Jackson's coach and coffin will fit with his lifelong obsession with Peter Pan / alleged pedophilic leanings.
Plans are in the works to have the coffin taken to the famed ranch either on Thursday or Friday, "displayed either before or after a private funeral on Sunday."
Rad.
For those of you who want to attend this spectacle, here's a map telling you how to get from San Francisco to Neverland Ranch in Los Olivos, CA.
Oh, and in case you feel that this memorial isn't invasion enough, be sure to read Michael Jackson's will after the jump.
UPDATE: Michael Jackson's public viewing won't happen at Neverland. Boo. Hiss. "Plans are under way regarding a public memorial for Michael Jackson, and we will announce those plans shortly," said someone named Ken Sunshine. We'' update you with those plans when they arise. But we still insist you driving down to Neverland to beat on your chest, pull your hair out, and scream, "No! God! Why!?! AURhudnfgakug!!!E@"

Ha! Thanks for doing the work. This idea was proposed to me yesterday and I'm still considering it even though I'm not sad or pensive about his death in any way- I just like once-in-a-lifetime gatherings.
Still, the news is reporting that nothing will be happening at Neverland.
Road trip!

you Sir, are a renegade.
It's not really a PDF, it's a Flash app that displays PDFs.
impressive nonetheless.
I would make that whole drive just to poop on the front doorstep.
Anyone that makes this drive is a fucking jerk.
That seems like really short and simple will for someone who you'd think would have a big estate. Back when I worked in estate planning, some wills were freakin' LONG, and those people sure as hell weren't Michael Jackson.
I guess you can go down and view the gate; they've canceled the viewing (thank god). http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/07/01/jackson.wrap/index.html
You can still see what Neverland looks like now sans MJ:

Michael Jackson was a pedophile and a massive junkie. You know how many young boys can identify birthmarks on my balls? Exactly none. His lawyers and a bunch of little boys all got him off. Piece of garbage.
Oh yeah, and his princeliness ran up a $400,000,000 bill at your expense. He pissed on Rod Temperton and Quincy Jones - two of the most brilliant musical writers/producers of our or any generation. Then his junkieness fell into scandal and obscurity once he dismissed them.
He was a dancing circus act and that is all.
He was not the king of pop. He was useless and hopefully fades fast from our televisions.
Fuck him.
