OK! Magazine has made the controversial decision to put a picture of Michael Jackson being rushed to the hospital shortly before being pronounced dead on the cover of their latest issue.

Did OK! go to far with this cover?

Yes, this is NOT cool

No, we all wanna see it

The tabloid reportedly paid $500,000 for the "last" picture of Michael Jackson which shows the King Of Pop on a stretcher. Putting the image on the cover has riled up fans with some calling it the "sickest magazine cover ever."

The magazine defends the move, according to their editorial director, "It's a photo that captures the surprise and the upset and the moment of this breaking news story. I hope the cover will provoke readers. It celebrated the man, but it also does expose that he was an eccentric character who lived a very controversial life."

And the questionable decision might do more harm than good for the magazine. A source tells the NY Post, "Media buyers have canceled upcoming meetings to discuss rates. It's a disgrace. They've sunk to a new low."

However a rep for OK! disputed the rumors, "This is untrue. No one at OK! has been contacted about any such cancellations as a result of the magazine's coverage of this news event. Any pages booked by the advertising team are running as scheduled."
