It appears that people are already trying to cash in on the media frenzy surrounding Michael Jackson's death:

That is just sick!

Well, LaToya needs to make her living somehow, right?

(you think that comment was bad?  no....this is bad: she went to his house the day after he died, looking for cash. now THAT is bad....)

I love it when good examples of pareidolia just fall into our laps.  Check out these photos.  (Here's a video about it, too:  CNN Video)

If you want to end your misery, start enjoying it, because there's nothing the universe begrudges more than our enjoyment.

PPI Brian

Excellent example of pareidolia, Karl. However, it doesn't really look like Michael Jackson, because the nose is too big. (just kidding) :)

I don't think it looks like Jackson at all, either.  In fact, I think it's a closer match for that gremlin on a plane in Twilight Zone that put William Shatner in a straight-jacket.

William Shatner?  I thought that was John Lithgow? 

Nooooo!  Don't tell me everything I have ever thought about Twilight Zone was wrong!!

I had no idea that Lithgow was involved in the remake of this--or that there even was a remake.  With what we know between the two of us, Tracy, we could rule the universe.

I found another photo.  I don't know why the image decided not to show up.  It did for a while, and then it disappeared.  Maybe there's a copyright control bot.  (I'm just making this up as I go along.  ;D)

Oh my gosh, Karl!  Are you kidding me?  You didn't see or know about the remake?  You HAVE TO see it.  Actually, if I am not mistaken, this movie was the one that Vic Morrow was killed in, doing a scene with a helicopter in a swamp and running with kids.  It has been years since I have seen Twilight Zone (movie) but it scared the hell out of me back then.

My favorite story in it was the Dan Ackroyd...."Wanna see something REALLY scary?!
Wow....gives me CHICKEN SKIN to even THINK about it!!!


You didn't Shatner my world.  Just edgamakated me!

Yes, the remake was well done, and the segment with Dan Akroyd was a classic. It's ok if you don't remember it, Karl. It was released in 1983.  :)

Here's a link to an article about the tragic death of Vic Morrow:

I went to see Madagascar 2 with my kids. That movie made me laugh almost the whole way through. One of my favorite scenes was a reference to the gremlin on the wing of the plane (more like the Lithgow version than the original). It went over my kids' heads but I cracked up when I saw it. I love it when they put little things in the movies for the adults that they know got dragged to the movies for their kids' sake.

Here's the youtube clip I'm referring to.

LOL! That clip was full of Twilight Zone references. Did you catch the part about "To Serve Lemur"?  ;D

Hi Bella,

It's good to see you on the boards again. Yes, losing Glenn was very difficult. It's hard to believe he's been gone for four months now.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

I think that it was just someone walking around in that room. You'll notice that the camera pans away before that person appears.

Stumbled across these old music videos by Michael Jackson and thought they were worth sharing:
