Just moments ago Michael Jackson was laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills. His casket was buried just a few feet away from the remains of his long-dead career.

Jackson’s career, which had been a major part of the singer’s life since 1964, passed away in 2003 after a prolonged 10-year bout with media saturation followed by cultural irrelevance.

“We all loved that career so much, and we were devastated when it died” said Jackson family patriarch Joe Jackson. “Michael’s death has reopened a lot of old, painful memories.”

As the family began to reminisce about the lucrative times they spent with Jackson’s career, brother Tito Jackson tried to point out that it was “Michael’s day.” His comments drew a cold response from family members, and a sharp rebuff from his father Joe.

“Boy, quit fool’n and get a switch,” said an irritated Joe Jackson, as he motioned his son toward a nearby tree. Without speaking, Tito pulled a small branch from the tree and handed it to his father who began to beat him about the backside.

The family is expected to attend a larger memorial service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles this afternoon.

CelebJihad has learned that Michael Jackson’s older brother Tito is alive!

The shocking discovery was made at 4:00 am on Saturday when relatives who had gathered at the Jackson family’s Encino estate received a strange phone call.

“The phone rang, and the guy on the other end was all like, ‘It’s Tito, I’m at the Grey Hound Station, can you come pick me up?’” said singer Janet Jackson. “I was all like, ‘Nice try asshole, but Tito’s been dead for years,’ and hung up on him.”

Added Janet, “He kept calling back, so I just left the phone off the hook.”

A source tells us Tito finally arrived at the estate hours later after convincing a family of migrant workers to give him a lift in the back of their pickup truck.

Once at the estate, family and friends were in “complete and utter shock” to see Tito alive and well.

“There was absolute chaos,” said one source close to the family. “People who thought he had been dead for years were screaming, ‘Zombie apocalypse! Run for your lives!’ Poor La Toya ran from the compound sobbing.”

Things finally settled down after brother Jermaine Jackson explained that while Tito’s career had been dead for many years, Tito himself was alive and well.

Most relatives were relieved by the explanation, with the notable exception of father Joe Jackson who said that Tito “shouldn’t have been fool’n.”

Added Joe, “Boy, go to the yard and get a switch.”
