Beat It, Discovery Channel!

The Discovery Channel has canceled the airing of their documentary, "Michael Jackson's Autopsy: What Really Killed Michael Jackson." The documentary was scheduled to air in Europe this month.

The show was scrapped after Jackson's family raised an uproar, calling it "disrespectful". "Macabre" would have been another good word.

Purportedly, viewers would have been treated to dramatic narration underlining a reenactment of the pop icon's autopsy as we heard (for the zillionth time) about the debate over how Jackson really died.

Seriously . . . the guy's dead. Just leave him alone. Plus, we've seen plenty of autopsies acted out on TV. Show of hands: Who here has seen CSI? There you go. My point exactly. Snooooooorrrrrrre . . .

However, I'm considering pitching a new, far more unique idea to Discovery: A reenactment of Michael Jackson's myriad plastic surgery operations.

Heck, they could turn THAT into a miniseries!
