Not to speak ill of the dead but for many people that guy has more negatives than positives. I doubt Rolex would touch that photo with a 10 foot pole.

I didn't listen to his music but I think that most people have a very positive view of him and loved his music!! I believe that most people tend to focus on the positives when someone dies.

Looking at the global response to his death fortunatley there seem to be many millions who think he was a pretty great chap! Thank goodness they are in the majority rather than the people who seem to think they know the true story over a jury and a court of law!

This man not only brought great joy and happiness to millions across the globe he also gave a huge amount of his fortune to charities, mainly for children. The facts speak way louder than the speculation and idol gossip of fools!
All that and now we find the man had great taste in wristwatches. R.I.P Micheal, you will be missed greatly!

You don't have to be convicted of a crime for people to know you are guilty of it. Al Capone was never convicted of a violent crime; Hitler was never proven guilty in a court of law.

I also agree that Rolex would never touch this picture. Too many issues.

MJ's soul died decades ago, so his death really only concerns the death of the latter character he became in the most recent decades.

I think, there are much more criminals on earth than people know of. Sad but true.

Point of fact: Hitler was found guilty of high treason in his 1924 trial, following his attempted coup in Munich the previous November.

As for MJ and Rolex, I agree Rolex would never use that picture. Plus given he was $300 Million in debt, it's good to see that like many Rolex owners past, present and future, he bought it on "credit."

I think he's somewhat of a "mixed bag" since he was clearly very talented but also troubled, and raised questions in the public's mind about his alleged activities. Nonetheless, he is gone, and instead of speculating what he might or might not have done, we should acknowledge that of which we are certain, namely, that he was a stellar entertainer who provided enjoyment for many. For that, he deserves our respect.

In my extremely humble opinion I doubt that Rolex would use that picture . They would have to deal with the Jackson fam. lawyers and the sales assistant would have to come out of the picture . Why pay ? This picture will go around for free on the net .

Michael Jackson might be shopping for a Rolex. But have anyone ever seen him with a Rolex on his wrist?
