  • woodsjransom, on 07/05/2009, -1/+13There is something morbid about this article. Makes me wonder what they are REALLY doing with his brain.
  • kamisama, on 07/05/2009, -3/+14It was laid to rest when a jury of peers found him not guilty.
  • Groady, on 07/05/2009, -0/+10I can't help think that this is going to "go missing". The family would be wise to ask for it back before it ends up on eBay.
  • looke, on 07/05/2009, -1/+10Cyborg?
  • Aleks, on 07/05/2009, -1/+10Nobody here got that Planet Terror quote :)
  • Mujokan, on 07/05/2009, -1/+10There is a Judge Dredd story (2000AD prog 513) where Michael Jackson comes back from the dead with brain damage.

    "In Judge Dredd The Come Back, by John Wagner, Alan Grant, Gary Leach and possibly someone from the unsolicited scripts pile (let it go, Paul, let it go), twentieth centaury pop star, Jaxxon Prince, is brought out of suspended animation for the performance of his career. The Judges are expecting trouble at the concert. When Prince first went into suspended animation the technology was in its infancy and he's woken up with brain damage. As Prince enters the stage, Dredd orders his colleagues to brace themselves for the crowd to react badly but no one can tell the difference between the pop star’s vintage dance routines and his new zombie like twitching and shuddering.

    In case you didn't know, originally The Come Back wasn't just a piece of thinly disguised satire of Michael Jackson but was completed featuring the name and drawn image of the performer himself. However, someone at either 2000 AD or higher up in IPC got uncomfortable about the strip and had the character rewritten as an unconvincing mash-up between Jackson and Prince. Is drawing a bit of Prince influenced stubble onto Michael Jackson's face really enough to prevent you from being sued? The changes always seemed unnecessary to me. The Come Back has always read as if Wagner and Grant admired the pop star that they were supposed to be writing about."

  • uncoveror, on 07/05/2009, -0/+8This comes from a British tabloid, so I don't believe a word of it.
  • BrownieMix, on 07/05/2009, -0/+8they should save it and put it in..... A ROBOT BODY!!
  • Scr4tchFury, on 07/05/2009, -0/+8If it was anyone other than Michael Jackson, I would be shocked by this headline.
  • sleepy35758, on 07/06/2009, -3/+11this will be on front page tomorrow with title: "This is why I love digg"
  • BoutDemCanes91, on 07/05/2009, -0/+7They should have kept his entire head so they can bring him back to life in a jar-like container like in Futurama.

    Wouldn't that be an awkward open casket....
  • inactive, on 07/05/2009, -0/+7I'll bury it, thanks.

    (Was a strange guy whose every dumb move was put under the spotlight. There's nothing wrong with sleeping with children in your bed - he had a whole Peter Pan thing going in; that's not abuse. The Neverland Ranch is supposed to be a beautiful, calm place; the perfect hideaway for a person with so many troubles.)
  • AraleNorimaki, on 07/05/2009, -5/+11The big brain am winning! I am the greatest! Mwa-ha-ha-ha! I must now leave Earth for no raisin!
  • searcade, on 07/05/2009, -0/+5I remember him saying he wanted to live forever, maybe he asked for his brains to be removed so he can come back when the tech exists
  • archaist, on 07/05/2009, -0/+5Hopefully they have the good sense to fill his grave with concrete.
