Plants vs Zombies-Thriller Music video
M. Jackson's estate has protested too much against the dancing zombie in the game Plants vs Zombies, and it will be removed.
I must admit I can see their point. If anybody ever makes me dance after death, I hope my estate will take action too.
WHAT estate? You got heirs that you never told us about? Grandchildren, maybe? ;-)
The thing is, it could very well be a completely honest tribute to the clip where MJ himself danced as a zombie, I think it was in Thriller. And it was a damn cool zombie dance he made, too!
How can you become a pop-culture icon and then deny people the right to make references to some of your best DIRECT WORK?
What next? Sue everyone who dares show him when his skin was too dark?

Let us not forget that MJ endorsed the videogame Moonwalker, where his digital double could be seen in such dubious positions as THIS: http://media.weirdworm.com/img/misc/10-weird-video-games/michael-jacksons-moonwalker.jpg
Should the game be now legally actioned into complete removal from the records?... I'm not giving back MY copy! ):-P
