Jacko’s not just wacko, he’s gone batshit crazy

It’s no real secret that Michael Jackson is an oddball, but I think he’s really gone over the line here. Apparently he’s commissioned someone to build a 50-foot robot in his likeness. And no, I’m not making this up, I’m not on crack, and it’s not April Fool’s Day.

According to the New York Daily News, the King of Pop has hired Andre Van Pier (who ever that is) to build a 50-foot tall mecha that would, and I quote, “roam the Las Vegas desert . . . firing laser beams.” WTF?

So now I beseech you, good people of Earth. If you have not yet become worried about the coming robot uprising, now is the time to panic. The very idea of a giant mechanical Wacko Jacko that stomps around Las Vegas firing laser beams and destroying everything in its path should be enough to scare the pants right off you.

Laws have to be passed, angry mobs need to be gathered, maybe the A-Team needs to be called in. Whatever it takes, the Mecha Jacko cannot be built. The survival of the human race depends on it.

    [...] ashamed to admit thhis, but I would really love to see Robosaurus take on the 50-foot tall Michael Jackson android with laser-beam eyes, if they ever build it. I would even pony up to see that on [...]
