As part of a possible Las Vegas show, Jacko is requesting a giant robotic replica of himself to roam Las Vegas' desert, firing laser beams at will.
The proposed 50-foot robot would be tall enough so passengers in flights landing at Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport (http://www.mccarran.com/) could see the monstrosity.

Jackson's business partner Luckman Van Pier told the New York Daily News the pop star has viewed the blue prints of the robot and "likes them." Adding that the robot "would be in the desert sands. Laser beams would shoot out of it so it would be the first thing people flying in would see."

Aaack!! Run for your lives citizens of Las Vegas!

Genius.

[JediKooter]

Will it be like the Mecha Streistand?

[Pumpy Tudors]

Well, this beats the crap out of Peyton Manning's laser rocket arm.

I can't wait to see it on an episode of CSI.

Can we get a 100ft tall jbmagic on Skydog's front lawn?

I guess this is part of his plan to move to Vegas and start doing shows there, huh? I guess the "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" tagline is appealing to him given his, um, "interests."

Hah, hah the jokes on him. Nobody brings their kids to Vegas.

This is correct. I actually bring other people's kids to Vegas (and leave them there).

Imagine if he does this, and it's successful. Naturally, other shows will have to copy the idea. So you'd have a 100-foot tall Danny Gans robot, and a Blue Man, and that crab-man thing from Cirque De Soliel... all wandering the desert, shooting at each other with lasers.

That would be awesome.

Let's not forget a 100 foot Carrot Top, and Giant Topless Showgirls.
