To the untrained eye, you might think that every article on here is written after a long night of drinking. That simply isn’t true. Every single word here goes through a tedious process. First a monkey punches a typewriter, then the results are passed to a child for English practice, then a gormless writer edits it. Michael Jackson possibly went through the same routine when releasing his albums. With a crotch touch here and a flaming hairdo there, everything was tuned to a fine key. But recent tapes featuring the singer in conversation supposedly suggest he hated the original recordings of Thriller. So much so that he wanted to pig out on ice-cream. Maybe.
Readers, have you sued Michael Jackson lately? What? You haven't? Then you're just about the only one. Everyone else on the planet has sued Michael Jackson, you know. Everyone - vets, lawyers, fiery sheikhs, staff - and now John Landis. John Landis is suing Michael Jackson over claims that he hasn't received any royalties from the Thriller video in four years. The lawsuit could put the skids on Michael Jackson's plan for a new Thriller musical. Which wouldn't be too bad, because 'acquitted child molester Michael Jackson' is so much easier to say than 'successful musical theatre impresario Michael Jackson', isn't it?
Poor Michael Jackson - creatively spent, reportedly too ill to perform, lacking the qualifications necessary to become a kindergarten teacher. The man is just running out of options. Apart from one - it's been reported that Michael Jackson is putting together a big-budget Mamma Mia-style musical based on his album Thriller. The Thriller musical is thought to be based on the video to the album's eponymous single, featuring legions of grotesque undead cadavers who terrify you witless the second you glance at them. Goodness, we didn't know that Michael Jackson was going to be starring in it as well.
Yes, you read that correctly - at the Super Bowl, the New York Giants will be replaced with Michael Jackson, who'll face off against the New England Patriots with just a monkey in a helmet for help.
No, we're just kidding. In fact Michael Jackson will be doing what he does third-best for Sunday's Super Bowl - music. But Michael Jackson won't be performing during the Super Bowl halftime show, probably because a gaunt middle-aged man muttering three lines of Stranger In Moscow before wandering off doesn't cut it as entertainment any more.
Instead, Michael Jackson will be on an advert broadcast during the Super Bowl halftime show. Actually, that's not true either - some of Thriller will be played on an advert broadcast during the Super Bowl halftime show.
Not much of a story, this, is it?
