Remembering the icon: Michael Jackson loved Mortal Kombat |
Paul Theroux of the Telegraph could not forget the conversation that he
had with Michael Jackson. Now that MJ has gone to that big Neverland in
the sky, the journalist takes us back to the old interview, which
revealed that eccentric as he was, Michael Jackson too was a sucker for
video games. Not just any video game too - MJ loved MK.In the interview, Michael Jackson revealed that he turned to video games, among other things, to help him cope with the intoxication that comes after a concert:
It makes people do strange things. A lot of our famous luminaries become intoxicated because of it – they can't handle it. And your adrenaline is at the zenith of the universe after a concert – you can't sleep. It's maybe two in the morning and you're wide awake. After coming off stage, you're floating.
How do you handle that?
I watch cartoons. I love cartoons. I play video games. Sometimes I read.
You mean you read books?
Yeah. I love to read short stories and everything.
Any in particular?
Somerset Maugham, he said quickly, and then, pausing at each name: "Whitman. Hemingway. Twain."
What about those video games?
I love X-Man. Pinball. Jurassic Park. The martial arts ones – Mortal Kombat.
I played some of the video games at Neverland, [Theroux] said. There was an amazing one called Beast Buster.
Oh, yeah, that's great. I pick each game. That one's maybe too violent, though. I usually take some with me on tour.
When asked how he manages to bring the then big video games with him on tour, Jackson simply replied that they travel with two cargo planes. I don't imagine Jacko doing fatalities though, maybe he's more the Friendship type of finisher.
For the rest of the interview, check out the source link below.
Watch Sackboy pay tribute to Jacko:

LOL!
You guys are WEIRDO. He is just regular people... We are not their fan and they are not our fan either.. Why do you want to be their fan ? They dont want to be your fan either.. You guys are strange. The celebrities are just regular people. They wants our money.. not our love!
Welcome to the Redundancy Department of Redundancy Department. Make more sense in a clearer way next time, kid.
So what you suggest is that no one should be a fan of anyone else's work? Yeah, that makes sense, because it doesn't.
English, mothafu*** Do you speak it?
I was gonna say something about you guys being inconsiderate or something but then I saw that it was FearEvil!
Where have you been dawg?!
i have to see his ugly face here too? im GLAD hes dead. i bet the kids are happy too.
sorry, but i meant "i'm hella medicated" lol i was super blown when i wrote the comment... haha..
...you don't even know where RockmanForte is coming from. you know www means "worldwideweb" not "f_ckin US only s_it so you better know english". a ver como te gustaria que alguien de otro lenguaje se burlaria de ti par de pinche par de nalgas que apestan a condenes.. don't be immature, his comment made sense. he meant, "why be a fan of someone when they ain't gonna be a fan of yours?" personally, not my opinion, but his.
So what your saying is that you believe he raped those kids? Even though he was acquitted on all charges? So much for "your innocent until proven guilty".
once upon a time he was a gifted artist with a bright future.
but he was mentally weak, over the years he succumbed to various forces around him - and sadly he died a rather pathetic specimen of mankind.
RIP - for what its worth, personally i think he's better off now.
i wonder what his fave character was..? i bet i could have kicked his ass with my eyes closed and some Raiden action.
lol sou tuga (aka portugues). Pelo menos, podia ter usado um tradutor para ajudar
in front of my PC masturbating -.-
Agreed 100%
Michael Jackson's heart attack could have been caused by food poisoning, he ate some 10 year old nuts.

Have you ever heard of the an education? I suggest trying to get one.
@ FelisCatusLover
With "of THE AN education", and the fact you meant "I suggest YOU TRY to get one", you've pretty much made yourself look like an idiot.
well in my opinion i like it a lot..jk....i fel bad 4 the ppl that don't know how to read/speak a different language
No, I typed an extra word by accident, Boner_Ville's entire post made no sense.
Say "I suggest trying to get one" 3 times to yourself. It makes no sense. Don't be ashamed... learn from your mistakes.

I'm only joking with ya mate, I don't really care. I just think it's funny when people get on their grammatical-high-horse and then fall straight off.
