Everyone loves the new Michael Jackson single

Death has conferred on Michael Jackson many things his reputation had kept him away from for a long time - respectful press coverage, kind words and now: an actual single release.

Yes - now unencumbered by the need to worry about quality control and assured of a big sale - Jackson is back to sticking out records, with This Is It getting passed out to radio, and slathering all over the internet as a result.

It's not a bad record for a dead guy. Although... checking the paperwork, it turns out that he wasn't actually dead when he did his bits.
