Michael Jackson estate forces PopCap to re-design dancing zombie in PvZ

Michael Jackson zombie wanted to be bad. He really, really did.
But instead, he just beat it.
“The Estate of Michael Jackson objected to our use of the ‘dancing zombie’ in PLANTS vs. ZOMBIES based on its view that the zombie too closely resembled Michael Jackson. After receiving this objection, PopCap made a business decision to retire the original ‘dancing zombie’ and replace it with a different ‘dancing zombie’ character for future builds of PLANTS vs.ZOMBIES on all platforms. The phase-out and replacement process is underway,” a PopCap rep told MTV Multiplayer.
The casual games colossus has – so far – stripped dancing zombie of his stylish Jacksonian garb in the iPhone version of PvZ, with plans to “update” all versions of the game accordingly. Gone is the King of PopCap, replaced by a zombie whose style – disco – may actually be deader than he is.

Exactly what i thought, you only come up with that stuff but it has nothing to do with this. You obviously ignore everything i said. It’s clear to me now that you don’t even want to consider his innocence.
That basic logic of yours doesn’t really count when all those other things come in to play, like the civil trial.
MJ was really pushing for a CRIMINAL TRIAL, but Chandler lawsuit didn’t let him, instead he sued him for “NEGLIGENCE” that’s when the insurance carrier entered in the scene.
I bet if there was even a VIDEO of CHandler where he’s blackmailing MJ for money…you’d still say ‘But he did make a settlement’ . It’s quite obvious that its no use.
Also…if you are even interested, which i highly doubt…

Very good article, also touches on the subject about the settlement. And this time it’s not a site affiliated with MJ fans or whatever.
Also the reason why i believe you dont even consider the chance of MJ being innocent back then,is because you only talk about MJ. Never ONCE did you mention the strange things about the chandler family, the audiorecording where the dad says he’s gonna ruin MJ’s career and that his son doesn’t matter. The fact that the asshole sued him and eventually accepted MONEY from him. WHAT parent in their right mind would do this? I ask you that!!!!!
Reasons that lead to the settled:
1. MJ filed charges against Chandler for EXTORTION.
2. The L.A. District Attorney’s office decided that it would not investigate Chandler’s alleged criminal extortion attempts of Michael Jackson. (The reason for this decision is clear: it would be absurd for a District Attorney to build a case for molestation against a defendant while simultaneously bringing charges against the complainant for extortion)
3. Evan Chandler filed charges for a Civil charge instead of a criminal charge when he included the word “negligence” in the lawsuit, avoiding the chance for a criminal trial.
4. MJ’s Insurance Carrier enters in the scene wanting to settle the dispute for “negligence” (it’s what an Insurance Company does in all “negligence” suing)
5. Other MJ’s advisers: People who intended to earn millions of dollars from his record and music promotions did not want negative publicity from these lawsuits interfering with their profits.
Tell me……HOW does that basic logic come into play now? I certainly dont see it. When you wrote that message you said ‘I am innocent, i am guilty’ you spoke about yourself. But no way can you compare yourself to a celebrity who is known worldwide, constantly in the media spotlight and lots of people profitting from him. In those ways you can never compare yourself to him.
I also just read this

And i know from own experience during that time, that the media coverage was pathetic…but this is downright outrageous. This is obviously pure hate , stupidity and prejudice from the media. This ain’t even funny anymore..i wasn’t aware that it was THIS bad. READ IT! If that ain’t injustice, i don’t know what is. And no wonder that so many people still believe he’s guilty.
