Discovery Channel will broadcast 13 January 2011 a documentary on events surrounding the death of the singer, Michael Jackson.

Based on the authopsy’s report and court documents, the film will show a reproduction of the body of the star in every detail. The documentary aims to follow a doctor who will dissect the body and reveal the true reasons for his death by spreading rumors about his addiction or his skin condition.

MAIL EXAMPLE:

"The documentary you are about to broadcast on January 13 is an affront to human dignity !
Whether it's Michael Jackson or a simple anonymous, this type of sensational and unscrupulous reporting can only cause harm.

For these reasons, we ask the simple withdrawal of this stupid reconstruction that only attacks the deceased and his family.

Michael Jackson is not an excuse for systematic exploitation ! To a question of ratings, you're ready to broadcast anything and everything !

Should we make a boycott of your programs to be heard ? "

I don't think it's ok to spread the rumors about this even more cause trial hasn't been set or over yet. That's how they actually may do damage.

I saw something like this on Discovery about Marilyn Monroe, and though it wasn't pleasant viewing (it was not graphic), a lot of it was based on the actual autopsy and they did have an actress showing what the body looked like (which was the unpleasant/weird part). It was tastefully done though, certain parts of the body were covered up. I don't think I'd want to watch one about Michael though, especially so soon. However, since Discovery are not usually the type of channel to make up stuff or be graphic for viewers (completely the opposite of Channel 4 in UK), I don't think they're going to spread rumours from nothing. If they say the content will come from the autopsy, then it will come from that, so I don't see this as being something to create a petition against, as it won't stop it from being shown on TV. If you don't like the thought of it, don't watch it.
