In case you haven't heard, Michael Jackson is thinking of ... umm ... erecting a 50 ft robot likeness of himself in Las Vegas. It would be visible to incoming planes and would, yes, shoot laser beams into the sky.

It's a totally awesome idea, if you ask me. I think a giant Jackobot is just what Vegas needs. If the city is ever invaded by Voltron or Godzilla, the Jackobot will be their only hope for defense.

I grabbed a couple screens of a movie called "Moonwalker" where Michael turns into a giant robot to defeat an army that is killing children. This is probably what the giant Jackobot will look like.
