Michael Jackson Wants a 50 Foot Desert Robot

If you ask me, the headline for this post is all you need to read to capture the hardcore lunacy brilliance of the totally sane King of Pop's completely normal plan.

Michael Jackson has been reviewing plans for a 50-foot robotic replica of himself should he launch a show there.

"It would be in the desert sands," said Mike Luckman of Luckman Van Pier, consultants to large entertainment companies. "Laser beams would shoot out of it so it would be the first thing people flying would see. Neon is wonderful, but it's old school."



Shh...you had me at "50 foot robot replica of Michael Jackson with lasers shooting out of it." In a related story, all the wars of the world stopped for a few minutes while everyone tried to stop giggling.

(PointBlank thinks he'd be happy with a 20-foot cyborg. Lasers optional)

"As for the 50-foot robot? No word on whether a 10-foot robot will be by its side."



Easily the best quote of that entire article.

I think it's pretty much a given, that if you build a 50 foot robot...it's gotta have lazer beam eyes. I mean common.

Oh I'm so conflicted now over which I value more...my love for robots, or my hatred for child molesters...damn you Michael Jackson.

this would have been so much better if set to the music from The Terminator.

(and i won't settle for anything less than 30' and 60 tons, with ER Lasers and Long Range Missile racks)



No no no...Gausse Rifle, ER PPC, and jump jets.

it should say "Scientists are still tinkering with the guidance matrix so that the robot can moonwalk if need be."

but seriously wouldnt it be funny that if at the grand unveliling it malfunction and caught fire then spun to put it out?

I made this for the 'Hot Michael' thread, when i couldn't find an actual photo of him on fire.

I guess now I should update it with the laser beams.
