Michael Jackson Video Game
I was just thinking the other day about the Moonwalker video game (the one in the arcades, not the adventure story for home PCs)
I remember when this first came out I loved it and would spend all my pocket money on it.
But I downloaded it the other day and BOY is that a disturbing vision of the mind of michael.
Basically in the game you play Michael and you have to go about town rescuing children. They are tied up and gagged but then when you walk over them they're freed (with a "Michael!" squeek)
At the end of every level, all the kids you saved run across the screen to our palefaced pop hero.
The credits says something like "Based on ideas from Mr Jackson"
Does it surprise no one that it took the police this long to act?
Here's a review which I think highlights my concerns:

Re: Michael Jackson Video Game
Reality vs Real Reality, Life could very well be a dream, but I think - therefore I am, Right? Michael Jackson must return to his roots for a nightcap. No, I'm not rambling, but I could if I wanted to. Finally, yes, your observations here russus, are spot on. If someone from (pre-20th century) Tibet had a vision of MJ, he would've been held as a Malefic Deity of the highest order. Appease him to keep him out of the spotlight.

Re: Michael Jackson Video Game
We should appease him with our children.
After all there's nothing more natural than some rich white man (who used to be black), who you've hardly met, who lives all on his own in some wacky funpark / castle, inviting your son around for the weekend so they can climb into bed together for cuddles.
Normal I tell you.
