James Brown viewing in Harlem

That shit is C-R-E-E-P-Y...even for me.

yeah: that shit is freaking me out.

I have to agree - very C.R.E.E.P.y

When I'm dead, I want digital pictures of my corpse all over the internet. Complete disrespect is teh new black.

No biggie. They did it with Lenin and the Ayatollah too.

After viewing the remains, the crowd then walked across the street for Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

BRING OUT YER DEAD...

wow, are these photos taken from madame tussaud's wax museum? I always find dead people all done up courtesy of embalmer fluid to be really really weird looking.

RIP Sex Machine!!! (not the Tom Savini character)

Standing around in the cold for hours on end to see his golden casket pass me by in a horse-drawn carriage? Sounds romantic, but glad I passed.

what the f&*k does this have to do with Arctic Monkeys?

(is that getting dated yet?)

sandman shoulda swept him off the stage

I haven't seen such a long line in Harlem since they were handing out the free cheese.

"I haven't seen such a long line in Harlem since they were handing out the free cheese."

Damn, I haven't heard a free cheese joke since the '80s. Are you another native? So few of us left nowadays.

"So few of us left nowadays."

Are you serious? I don't think I've ever lived in a city where so many people still live so close to their parents. Granted, if I were you I'd probably not leave either, but come on, New Yorkers NEVER leave this fucking city.

Tragic and poetic - thanks for posting the images. -Steve/Head Talent Buyer for the Rock and Roll Hotel, Washington DC

thanks steve for a very shallow sentiment.

"When I'm dead, I want digital pictures of my corpse all over the internet. Complete disrespect is teh new black."

please shut up.

"I feel good, I look good, and I sing good! ...and make love good!"

This is outside the Apollo tonight. There were so many people we couldn't even all get in to pay our respects.

dude, I don't understand a word of that garbled version of English you just posted. Is there a translator here? Anyone?

KILL WHITEY!

Honestly, what are you even talking about you asshole? The topic being discussed is how unpleasant the sight of a CORPSE is. No one mentioned ethnicity you fucking racist.

wow a kill whitey comment here - how original. wasnt the great james brown a wife / woman beater? maybe he shoulda been dressed in a wife beater.

with all the black on black crime happening this wont be the last funeral. bruddas need to show some love insteada hating the white man.

next thing you know someone will blame the jews and protest matisyahu for stealing from the black bruddas - oh wait - he did but no one seems to be complaining up in here.

Post pictures of Saddam hanging and then I will dig up another shallow comment about a legendary figure. I've got plenty of half assed words.

Here is what rotten.com has: http://poetry.rotten.com/saddam-dead/ Anyone find anything more explicit?

R.I.P. James Brown.

Thanks for showing the viewing, as for the racial nonsense that I'm seeing here people really need to grow up. Until this world ends racism will always exist. everyones entitled to an opinion and people should respect that even if that opinion is remedial, so to comment on another persons opinion is a waste of breath. Once again thank you Brooklyn Vegan, this goes in my scrap book. JAMES BROWN R.I.P.

We will all pass this way, just hope somebody loves you enough to ensure you look as good.
grow up all of you.

yuck

bless you, james brown!! you look fine in the casket with a nice suit!! R.I.P James.. you are so missed by everyone here.
