Giant Michael Jackson robot to roam Nevada desert

Oh, FUCK yes.

Quote:
Michael Jackson is in discussions about creating a 50-foot robotic replica of himself to roam the Las Vegas desert, according to reports.
.

The pop legend is currently understood to be living in the city, as he considers making a comeback after 2004's turbulent child sex case.

It has now been claimed that his plans include an elaborate show in Vegas, which would feature the giant Jacko striding around the desert, firing laser beams.

If built, the metal monster would apparently be visible to aircraft as they come in to land in the casino capital.

It is the centre-piece of an elaborate Jackson-inspired show in Vegas, according to Andre Van Pier, the robot's designer.

Luckman Van Pier, his partner at the company behind the proposal, claims blueprints have been drawn-up for the show and seen by the star.

"Michael's looked at the sketches and likes them", he told the New York Daily News.

On the subject of the robot, he continued: "It would be in the desert sands. Laser beams would shoot out of it so it would be the first thing people flying in would see."
FRICKIN LASERS!

Although the show sounds cool, I worry at this part:

It might also be the last thing people see, if they take a laser to the eye.

Re: Giant Michael Jackson robot to roam Nevada desert

The last thing I want to see is a 50 foot godzilla-like Michael Jackson shooting lasers on my landing into Vegas. I can hardly stand to look at the guy as it is. If they are gonna do this, why not pick somebody who dosn't like to fondle little boys...

Michael's just putting a 50 foot man out there to substitute for something he doesn't have....

As if vegas wasn't already a bad place to take your kids. Casinos, booze, hookers, and now a 50 foot animatronic pedophile.

Re: Giant Michael Jackson robot to roam Nevada desert

The title of this thread almost made me not want to click on it...
But the urge, and curiosity won me over.

50-foot Michael Jackson. That would be scary as shit. As if he's not scary enough as it is.
