Michael Jackson Memorabilia Fail: Gambling Site Turns King of Pop's Hair Into Roulette Ball

We all love some good old Michael Jackson memorabilia. The King of Pop's famed 'Thriller' jacket alone was auctioned off for a staggering $1.8 million since his passing in 2009. But another piece of MJ, now in the hands of a big-time bidder, will be immortalized in a pretty usual way. Gambling website OnlineGamblingPal.com will transform a wad of Jackson's hair into roulette ball!

The gambling website purchased a lock of the late pop icon's hair from an online memorabilia vendor, Gotta Have Rock & Roll, for $10,871. The hair was reportedly collected at New York's Carlyle Hotel, where Jackson once stayed while attending a charity event.

"As its proud new owners, we have decided to convert Michael Jackson's hair into a roulette ball -- an appropriately unique way to immortalize a small part of a truly peerless entertainer," the gambling site announced of their plans for their new acquisition.

But the ball of MJ's tresses will not be put on the mantlepiece, displayed for all to see. Oh no, "The ball itself will be made to the highest professional standards, ensuring it will be eligible for use at any licensed casino's roulette table," the site insisted, revealing their plan to put the piece to use.

The site went on to solicit buyers, while dropping some pretty insensitive puns. "Indeed, considering Jackson dedicated his life to entertaining millions, the prospect of this very special ball captivating crowds at roulette tables seems like a fitting use for it. We would therefore like to encourage any casino interested in using this unique ball at its tables to contact us. Together, we can ensure Michael Jackson continues to rock and 'ROLL' forever."

What do you think of the roulette ball idea for Michael's hair? Too soon?

MIchael Jackson was just a human being and his time came and died so why can't you let him rest in peace either in heaven or HELL?

Your article is absolutely despicable, disgraceful, and disgusting, because it is disrespectful not only to a man who is no longer here to defend himself, but also to the millions of people throughout the world who love him, respect him, revere him, and who are still mourning his death. So, this article is an offense to humanity, and in any case, the message it really conveys is how low low-lives like you can get. With this article you really have crossed the line of decency. You are so abominable and immoral that you don't seem to belong to the human race. And this message is extensive to all the rest of low-lives who posts disrespectful comments to Michael Jackson on this blog.

Strife and failure shall follow those who mock the dead. That should answer why those with such nasty comments don't have and never will have success in their life.

When is his rubber nose going to come up for auction. It was rumored to have been stolen out of the morgue when he died.

Yet another overwhelming disrespect to The King of Pop. And kibnooks, you're wrong. I was a session musician for Michael and Quincy Jones and can tell you for a fact...you're a story teller who needs to get a life!
