I'll Shake Your Hand For A Buck

Michael Jackson is apparently in Japan now doing a meet and greet to the tune of thousands of dollars per handshake. Okay that's an exageration, for a little over a grand he had a meet and greet for corporate type folks and they could shake his hand, and be in his general vicinity for about 8 hours... that's still a lot of dough. There was a seperate day set aside for fans I hear where the cost was a more reasonable 130 bucks for the event. I'm not sure how many of his screaming admirers actually got to touch him for that amount though. For a has-been (as the media tends to call him) it seems he can still generate enough excitment that folks are willing to cough up big bucks just to be in the room with him. I understand much of the procedes were to go to charity. Still... seems kind of pricey--I'd shake your hand for the price of a cup of coffee. LOL
