Michael Jackson truly was a man who kept on giving. Note the past tense: he isn't alive and living on a secret island alongside Princess Diana, 2Pac and Snoopy. However, enough people tell us that Michael Jackson will be coming back in 2057 with robotic facial surgery that gives him scorpion-like stinging powers.
We've already slipped on our sparkly glove in anticipation of this moment.
Let this not overshadow the achievements of a man that supposedly gave so much money to charity that it ruined him to the extent of needing an umbrella to protect himself from the sun and a wheelchair for basic mobility. Dr. Conrad Murray was employed to provide the singer with magical potions and drugs to keep him alive and give the impression he wasn?t stuck together with tape and staples following countless bouts of botched surgery. Countless speculations about his health overtook his once glorious music career and he's now remembered more for his wacko antics than singing, such as his baby waving incident.
Back in 2002, Michael Jackson was experiencing the same level of attention that Justin Bieber receives now. Everywhere the king of pop went, scores of fans would flock around him, desperately trying to catch a bit of the singer’s spittle in their mouths or throw themselves on the floor just so Jackson could use them as a human walkway, eliminating the threat of himself scuffing his LA Gear trainers.
Eager to show his fans that he vaguely gave a toss about them and wasn?t just milking them for money from multiple crap albums, Jackson came to the window of a Berlin hotel for a jolly wave. If this was a fairytale, everything would have ended neat and tidily, but because Michael Jackson is involved, there is always a twist. Jackson lent forward out of the window with the terribly named Prince Michael II in his arms. The crowds focus was diverted from Jackson’s wonky nose and towards the helpless tot who was dangled around 20ft off the ground. Thankfully, a baby pancake wasn?t created on the Berlin streets as Michael managed to maintain his frail grip on the child and return him back inside and out of harm?s way.
Yet again, Michael Jackson was being questioned about his antics with children who were powerless to defend themselves against a person who looked like an evil clown with a melted face. He?d already faced one visit to court where he faced charges of inappropriate kiddie touching and was going to become accused of similar accusations a couple of years later. Perhaps this was some sort of warped sign from God telling him to bin the Jesus Juice and look after his own offspring so he wouldn't be known as the world's worst babysitter.
But onto this sculpture. Don't ask us why, but the artwork is entitled ?Madonna and Child.?
Did Madonna tell Michael Jackson to dangle his child from the balcony so she could adopt Prince Michael II and add him to her litter? We don't really know, but the sculpture that's been created by Swedish artist Maria von Kohler is located in the window of The Premises Studios where Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Al Green and Nina Simone have all recorded. A possible warning sign that if you succeed in life, you\’ll probably go mental in some way.
This is the second Michael Jackson tribute statute within as many weeks. So far we've heard no reports of any artists dedicating work to Janet Jackson. At best, it would just be a paper m?ch? boob following her Superbowl wardrobe malfunction.

Hope the artist licences reproductions soon. These pieces deserve to be replicated and diseminated all over our world.

Absolutely,
Madonna and Child disseminated everywhere,
like those plastic reproductions of Lourdes’ grotto.
