Michael Jackson dreams of 50 foot Las Vegas robot

Michael Jackson statue on the Las Vegas StripThere are some things that may be too crazy, even for Las Vegas.

Let’s play word association and see what kinds of images your mind conjures up: Michael Jackson, Las Vegas Strip, 50-foot robot, lasers.

If you haven’t guessed, we’re talking about the rumored comeback of the King of Pop.

"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."

Luckman's partner, Andre Van Pier, who designed the futuristic spacesuits worn recently by Bono and U2 at a benefit concert in New Orleans, designed the robot. He has also sketched out a stage set of a giant audience-interactive video game with human cyborgs controlled by the audience. Said Luckman: "Michael's looked at the sketches and likes them."

Seriously, is there a future for this troubled star?

The New York Daily News reported that according to one source former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney was considering investing in the potential long-term show.

Last month Jackson's spokeswoman, Raymone Bain, confirmed he was "reviewing and evaluating" proposals for his future including several offers to perform in Las Vegas.

Here’s a proposal for Michael Jackson’s future: purchase an island, build your Neverneverland, live there in seclusion and operate tour boats so people can pay to gawk at you.

I would pay anything to see Michael Jackson! I love you Michael!

... Come on...
Michaels spokesperson decline any kind of these stupid "statements" about "MJ Las Vegas Robot"...
it is another ridiculous attempt how to humiliate Michael, knowing that Michael is coming with a new album... and his comeback, and anything weird is good base for moronic "journalists/reporters" who are trying to "informô about anything weird about Michael Jackson, just because it is Michael Jackson, and thats why they dare write such bull***** !!!

This world needs more robots. It needs more Michael Jackson. This robot is exactly what the world needs. We love and support you, Michael, lasers and all!

My wife and I plan to go to Vegas as soon as the show opens up!
