Michael's Reasons to hoax his death / Re: What If The Hoax Is A Hoax?

I think it could be both for publicity and for L.O.V.E. and spreading his message. And probably even more than that. It doesn't have to be for just one reason.
I don;t underestimate the importance of the reason behind this but I think publicity was a part of it, a necessary part. MJ hadn't been in the public eye for a very long time and when he did make headlines it was for all the wrong reasons. At least in the last 10 years. And let's face it, to get his message out there he first needed our attention. And not just the fans attention, but the entire world's attention. And that is exact;y what he got. His message was heard by everyone, he got more fans, and people who weren;t so sure about his innocence in the past, are now and are also looking at the better side of him.
So yes I think publicity was the first necessary step in this.
IF it was just that I think I would understand from the artists point of view. Like GS said the entertainment business is tough and for someone like MJ the work is twice as hard. But I must admit I would be also very disappointed in him...probably by my own "mistake" of thinking too greatly of his soul. BUt to mess with people's emotions to such a degree just for fame and money is low. And it wouldn't make him any better than the people's he's been fighting against.
But as I said before, I don't think it was JUST about publicity
