Never ones to observe niceties, South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker recently premiered an episode packed with this year's dead celebrities.
Spoofing The Sixth Sense, the episode entitled 'Dead Celebrities' features little Ike encountering the ghostly manifestations of recently departed stars.
Among a number of US celebrities (who most in the UK won't know – Billy Mays anyone?), Swayze, Jacko, David Carradine and Farrah Fawcett all return as their South Park-style animated selves, waiting impatiently in purgatory to get into heaven.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Jacko plays a major part in the story and gets the unforgiving South Park treatment. Aside from the celebrity take-downs and Sixth Sense parody, the episode lampoons the sheer weirdness of children's beauty pageants and also includes a typically grotesque gag about a very specific type of stain remover.
