Michael Jackson’s father, Joe Jackson, has been banned from a German beer festival due to the fact that organizers felt he shouldn’t be partying so soon after the death of his child.
Joe was looking for access to a VIP marquee at Oktoberfest in Munich but was turned away by organizer Sepp Kratz because he thinks Joe should be mourning the death of Michael Jackson.

It’s a good thing Kratz is around to tell us all when we should mourn and when we shouldn’t mourn. Gosh, we’d be lost without him.
Kratz, who has managed the Hippodrum tent for the last 15 years, was quoted as saying:
“Michael Jackson’s father was desperate to have a seat reserved. I rejected his request immediately. I was really shocked. The man has just buried his son. It’s totally inappropriate to celebrate happily just after your child passed away. That’s just not right. In short, anyone who has no sense of decency isn’t welcome at our place.”
Sepp did, however, enjoy a visit from Paris Hilton, apparently:
“Paris came three years ago. She was lucky, she was allowed to enter. She really behaved herself, but I do think she has an ice cold heart.”
Oktoberfest runs September 19 through October 4.
