Michael Jackson wants Vegas robot

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 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." |

Yes, but it's his own special flavor of crazy.

This is an April fools thing right? The idea of him really wanting to build a fifty foot robot of himself is scary in so many ways...

somebody needs to build a 50 foot Voltron to battle the RoboJackson. Now that would be worth seeing. Although I bet he'll build a giant robot kid for him to molest. In which case I won't be visiting Las Vegas anytime soon.

What the hell would it be roaming for? Is it supposed to be some tall tale. "That kids is the giant robot of Michael Jackson that comes by every now and then. Some say it was built to greet airplanes, others say to kidnapped wives of donut kings and hold them hostage. Either way, if you find yourself in its path: Protect yourself. Make sure you run and if you can't escape to see a doctor pronto."

Aside from the fact I destroyed the ruby weapon, and the ruby weapon looked more a lobster than MJ....
but I guess the giant thing roaming, well he wasn't realyl roaming either, but the gian thing being in the desert, that can shoot thing was there... and create vortexes and pull your guys down under the sand into oblivion, as well as launch insane tentacle's that poison and whip your guys into submission... and the only way to stop it is to start a series of attacks that lasts for about half-hour, good time to go get something to eat.

This doesn't even make any sense. The technology to build something so extravagant is WELL beyond mj's riches. plus,do you really think the people of nevada are going to like a 50 foot tall replica of micheal jackson just walking around the desert?

I thought you were talking about JonSnow's post. Was that translated poorly from Chinese to English on some two-bit internet portal?
This could just be a really early April Fool's Day joke, as there's no fucking way this would ever happen.

Don't you think that remark is a little inappropriate and rude? Not everyone speaks such clear English as you. As a mod, I figured you would be above the petty bickering. Sadly, I was wrong.

Oh Jesus, looks who's here to start up shit AGAIN.
I am a mod, but I'm still a member of this forum, and I'm allowed to poke fun at people as long as it's not malicious. Usually I don't agree with Jon on a whole lot, but he's usually not that incoherent, and it seems like his English is usually on target. That's why that last post surprised me.
I didn't expect you to keep your nose out of it, seeing as it had JACK and SHIT to do with you, but I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Not so much.

Use the bell. The bell is for "kidding" posts. It always has been.

I think it was pretty obvious it was a joke when she said you speak clear English Spanky. I mean, come on.
