Oh I dunno, I liked

"It was as though what he always craved was to embody a single-member species of hyper-whiteness, hyper-Waspness, hyper-Aryanism, one that would be as "superior" to the white race as, in the codified racist hierarchy, the white race itself is claimed to be to the black."

It's been nice to see that in death, he's finally become black again, and in becoming black again, people have started talking about the notion of trans-race, of which he'll be seen a pioneer.

Over the last decade or so it became quite common for his appearance to be likened to that of a Manga character.

didn't Baudrillard have something to say about that, i can't remember what book it was but he talked about michael as transracial and transgender as the ultimate modern capitalist icon or something of the sort.
also in this book called 'apocalypse culture' there is a chapter dedicated to the idea that michael jackson could be the false messiah :)

It's the Adam Parfrey essay, I'll have to try and find that again somewhere you know, I think it probably had more of an effect on me than I'd care to dwell upon.

Controversial Body Worlds creator Gunther von Hagens plans to preserve the late Michael Jackson’s body in a dancing pose for display using his plastination process, a spokesperson told The Local on Monday.

Shortly after the legendary pop entertainer was pronounced dead in Los Angeles, von Hagens released a statement revealing his personal assistant had been contacted by an anonymous member of Jackson’s management team about plastination some six months ago.

“During the phone conversation we were told about Michael Jackson’s interest to become plastinated after his death,” the statement said, adding Body Worlds did not confirm the King of Pop’s interest because the caller wished to remain anonymous and the body donation form is available online.

The validity of the call “is soon to be seen,” the statement added.

On Monday, Institute for Plastination press spokesperson Christiane Casott told The Local the organisation is still awaiting confirmation the King of Pop wanted to become plastic.

Von Hagens promised the late 50-year-old’s family that his body would be preserved through plastination for “a didactic eternity,” and would be conducted free of charge.

“The pose would be a dancing one, to be determined by the family in detail,” he added.

The provocative 64-year-old, known as “Dr. Death” in Germany, is infamous for transforming the bodies of people and animals into exhibition pieces for his Body Worlds exhibitions. He recently caused a stir this May in Berlin where his show, “The Cycle of Life" featured dissected corpses having sex

this is good - dj premier tribute mix to michael jackson

it's so weird, its dawned on me over the last few days how ordinary michaels name is, compare that to prince, madonna, biblical and aristocratic, the other two 80's stars then you got michael jackson the most ordinary hum drum name possible, it's never felt that ordinary really.

Jacko isn't going to be cremated, he's going to be turned into Asda plastic bags. That way, he can continue to be white, plastic, and dangerous to children.

Well, if Michael gets 'Plastcized' into a dance pose- that's getting pretty close to Vim's wish.

Los Angeles police have now been round to Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch this afternoon. It is being reported that they found Class A drugs in his kitchen, Class B drugs in his bathroom and Class 4C in his bedroom.
