No one can judge how someone else handles tragedy, but let’s just say Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson’s father, made an interesting appearance at the BET Awards last night. The show was revised to include a tribute to the late star and Joe came out to… honor his son I suppose? Or plug his record company? Or both?

In case you haven’t seen the video above everywhere else on the Internet, take a look at an interview Joe gives at the ceremony. When asked about Michael’s death, Joe very awkwardly pauses and then says about his own son, “Remember, we just lost the world’s biggest superstar.”

All together, the video includes some unusual remarks from a grieving father. But then again, when have the Jacksons ever done anything in the usual fashion?
