Three major states of being: Alive, Dead & — in Hollywood — UnDead

Michael Jackson has been dead for months now.  Or has he?

He is coming out with a new movie. 

So, Michael is in that fashionable Hollywood state of the “Undead”. 

The Undead can do what living people do — make movies, have digitally produced voice-overs, sell your clothes to the highest bidder, be immortalized in rare and just-discovered footage.  In order to stay undead, there must be mystery and intrigue and controversy swirling around the person, enough to keep conspiracy theorists thriving. 

And that means more coverage on the newsertainment channels, like CNN, which brings the Undead back to life for years at a time.
