Michael Jackson virtual world planned for 2011 launch

"The Ultimate Michael Jackson Online Game" may not be a virtual world you expected, but it's a very real project coming to us late next year, via Entropia Universe.

SEE Virtual Worlds approached Michael Jackson's estate about producing Planet Michael, and the company is planning to focus on the King of Pop's positive impact on our culture: "Planet Michael will offer fans around the globe an innovative, first-of-its-kind interactive gaming and social experience that truly celebrates Michael Jackson's extraordinary life as an artist and humanitarian."

Planet Michael will be a free-to-play themed planet created specifically for Entropia Universe with "gameplay monetization" that allows players to take on different occupations and sometimes contribute to real-world charities at the same time. The site is currently live and taking signups.

Knob, its not that I don't know the word urethra. It just more fun to say penis hole.

Thanks, Massively. I needed a good "what the f@%#!" moment to get me moving.

Hide your kids, Hide your wife
Hide your kids, Hide your wife.

And Hide your husband...

For kids of all ages. Is Bubbles a playable character?

I'm just confused how they see a market clamouring to have this...

nothing against this Michael Jackson, but I think I'd be more interested in one based on the other Michael Jackson, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson_(writer)

I thought it was April fools for a sec, sadly it's not.

That damn song is in my head again.
He climbing in your windows snatching your people up.

Let me guess. The planet is entirely populated by little boys.

Too bad there was never any evidence of that to convict him...

thats because it was always settled out of court... when more than one kids comes out and says that shit there either greedy or something did happen. and for him to settle outside of court for large sums of money doesn't help

I will agree, it certainly did not help his public image...because if left a shadow of a doubt in the public and popular media mind as you say, June.

However, the last court case against him...where there was 14 counts of sexual abuse related stuff against him, that could not so easily be settled out since it was a criminal case. But it was telling that he was found innocent on all accounts....when there was every reason to nail him to the wall. To me, this sheds doubt on his settlements as being hush money as many claim. Rather that and some of his other inadvisable eccentricities gave him the illusion of having a thing for boys. I could be wrong though.
