Billboard-Ad Promo by MarketingZ-

As a advocates of Michael Jackson across the world, the MJGlobal family working in concert with one another addressed a vimeo video that was a puppetlike parody of Michael’s life and death on September 13, 2011. The tone of the video is sarcastic, demeaning and the purpose behind it highly immoral.  At the end of this parody ran an advertisement for Billboard Magazine, it’s logo brazenly plastered across the screen. Michael Jackson Estate was notified through their MJOnlineTeam which is the established protocol for such issues.

The MJGlobal family contacted Billboard en masse and their immediate response from was encouraging because within the hour the vimeo video was shut down and Billboard tweeted –

Billboard tweets Sept 13, 2001 allegign no knowledge of vimeo video.

No sooner had we breathed a sigh of relief that Billboard had taken appropriate steps to eliminate this abhorrent advertising ploy, did it resurface on YouTube and Facebook. It would appear that Billboard could simply contact Gregory Jeandot the owner of MarketingZ and request removal of the video, however, it may not be that simple. We and many other’s in the MJGlobal family began tweeting our concerns to Billboard again and we received a tweet directly:

We appreciate the efforts of Billboard, but while we are waiting  for them to legally address the situation, MJJJP has made a formal complaint on Youtube and we would like you all to follow suit.  Youtube only removes videos after they received a large amount of complaints. To address Youtube with a complaint is NO easy task..because truth be told …they don’t want to process complaints. First create a Youtube account which takes about five minutes, then follow the steps.

Example of what to write in the “Additional Notes”

To make a video that satirizes the death of black man, Michael Jackson, and  puns the skin condition of his vitiligo is outrageously racist. Using this racist video as a marketing ploy is an added repugnentcy.  Click “Continue”

After you see the screen above you are done. Youtube SHOULD send you an email confirming they recieved your complaint, but don’t count on it.

You can make the complaint as many times as you wish by going through all the steps again. If you do try to work in the facts – Billboard has publicly decried this video as NOT representing them in any capacity & MJ’s Estate has copyright over all his music and images as well. Pls remove this offensive video.

God Bless All the dedicated warriors who have Youtube accounts and can address this issue with the love held in your hearts for our beloved brother- Michael.
