yeah, it's been posted on the music board. i feel the topic deserves more discussion, though.


Michael Jackson wants Vegas robot

03/27/2007 4:00 PM, Yahoo! Music
Dotmusic

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 ******* 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 centerpiece 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."

Yeah...for a second I got pretty excited, but I don't think we can build 50 ft robots yet.

This made the mental image of South Park's version of Michael Jackson (melting) appear *shudder*

instead of one 50 foot robot, it should be 50 one foot robots.

i know... it's a weird breakdown during the song "Dancing Machine" (very 70's soul funk)... that's where he would do his robot routine. if you want to see him moonwalk backward it's always toward the end of billie jean.

Oh man how does he do it. I don't even get close :S

I doubt the 50 foot robot monster will be as cool as it sounds on paper.
