Space Channel 5 Keeps Michael Jackson For U.S. Release

Thanks to GamesAreFun for its review of Space Channel 5: Special Edition for PlayStation 2, as the 2-disc rhythm action game compilation, "which not only contains [the original] Space Channel 5, but its sequel as well, which was previously unreleased in the US", has sneaked onto American shelves this week for an ultra-budget $15. The compilation was still released despite the connection to the King Of Pop, Michael Jackson, who "...makes an appearance [in both games] as Space Michael... when he joins your group, the dancing is patterned after moves lifted from his music videos." The release likewise seems unaffected by a recent likeness lawsuit from the lead singer of Deee-Lite, and is also positively rated by 1UP, who suggests: "Though the character-based rhythm action genre is all but dead, replaced by less story-driven fare such as DDR and Karaoke Revolution, this collection is pretty much the best possible sendoff it could receive."

Jacko and *BSD are going down

[Anonymous Coward]

It isn't only BSD which is headed for the morgue. Pop star Michael Jackson will kill himself within the next three years, if the legal case is as strong as it appears to be.

He suffers severe Narcissistic Personality Disorder (an "I am above you stupid little laws" attitude), Body Dysmorphic Disorder ("I need another plastic surgery," that has rendered him without a nose) and (of course) Pedophilia.

His money is gone. He is $200 million in debt. The case this time is strong against him, even worse if they have Pellicano tapes of witness intimidation and illegal wiretaps. He will never allow himself to go to prison.

He will instead become increasingly psychotic. He will ultimately choose to go to that big "Neverland" in the sky, and reside with Chucky, the BSD monkey.
