Miss Doodle Mae: "It's been a very rough couple of weeks for the staff of Jojo's Discount Dollar Store. The people we have known, respected and honored are gone.

"Those of us who grew up during television's golden age remember Ed McMahon's 'Heeeere's Johnny,' David Carradine beating up those bad guys who despised people of other races and cultures, Farrah Fawcett setting the blonde hair, blue eyes and pearly white teeth smile beauty standard, and the gifted boy who sang, danced and blossomed into a universal pop icon.

"With a tear in his eye, Jojo said: 'Let's pay tribute to Michael, Farrah, David and Ed with a 'They Are Gone, But Not Forgotten' storewide sale at Jojo's.'

"The staff got busy and stocked the shelves with various products. Our old-school, retro videotape bin—located in aisle 5—has plenty of VHS cassettes of the 'Best of the Tonight Show,' 'Charlie's Angels,' 'Kung Fu' and 'Kill Bill.' For the Michael Jackson fans, we have three videotape bins featuring the King of Pop's latest and greatest music videos—from 'Billie Jean' to 'Thriller.'

"Our music bins, near aisle 7, contain everything Michael. Join Jojo and Brotha Hustle as they host a CD listening party, featuring the song 'People Make the World Go Around,' sung by the late Michael Jackson. Ice cold, fruity flavored Juicy-Juice drinks are on the house!

"During this trying time, Jojo encourages the people to stay positive and live life to the fullest!"
