Is Las Vegas ready for the attack of RoboJacko?

You can't make this stuff up: Michael Jackson reportedly wants to build a 50-foot robotic replica of himself to stand in the desert near Las Vegas, if he goes ahead with a long-running show there.

"It would be in the desert sands," a guy called Mike Luckman is telling anyone who'll listen. He runs a show-biz consulting company and has evidently been working with Jacko on this. "Laser beams would shoot out of it so it would be the first thing people flying would see. Neon is wonderful, but it's old school."

Really, why would anyone choose to live any place other than Las Vegas? A 50-foot Michael Jackson robot. With laser eyes. Truly, life is good in our wonderful age.
