2. Dear TMZ,

Why is it that when you post a comment, you have to check your email. And then, at the bottom of the email, you suggest using a password.

"P.S.: For future reference, you may avoid these confirmations by using your e-mail and password:"

But yet, there is no place to put this password when you post a comment! Where do I put the password? There is no box for me to put it in! You're driving me up the wall!

3. I think it's discusting. There is NO way he does not smell. His family should be ashamed of theirsevles. Obviously, they are not a very intelligent bunch.

4. Another family just waiting to get money.... bury the poor man already and give him some respect.

Everyone needs to get a good iron clad will. My husband who died in Afghanistan at the age of 37 got his will done. Concerns over family made him do this and his will was probated within 2 weeks.

We got our wills done on:

and you should too..... This company is owned and operated by Robert Shapiro so you know you are in good hands....

5. So take a sample and be done with it...he aint gonna get back up and start dancing for those who think keeping him above ground will somehow bring him back. Let the man rest in peace, spiritualy and physically.

What is this some kind of left over mystic weirdo witch doctor stuff? Dig the hole and throw him in.

6. Poor James Brown. His not being buried months after dying and an open casket funeral is despicable. No one should have to go through with this sort of thing. And, by the way, whenever I try to sign-in using my password, the TMZ system won't recognize me.

7. It is very disturbing to hear that this family can't come to an agreement and allow this man to rest in peace. Money should NOT be the barrier of this family coming together to lay this man once and for all. That just goes to show MONEY can ruin lives - living OR dead!

11. At least James Brown was embalmed right away; Virgie Arthur & Larry Birkhead delayed Anna's embalming & burial with false pretenses.

15. I think watching James Brown and Anna Nicole Smith in death is proof of how extremely important it is for all of us over 18, owning property and/or having kids to have a will, codicils (if necessary) and a letter of final instructions upon death. It could avoid the messes similar to this for a majority of people.
Very sad situation for both and those they left behind.
