Funniest Alien vs Predator Themed Merchandise Ever


If you don't think that's funny, you're on the wrong website. 

If you're upset that we made fun of Michael Jackson, please leave the site now. 

If on the other hand, you're upset that we forced E.T. to pose with Michael Jackson, well that's a completely legitimate concern.  You may register your complaints below.

Michael Jackson, portrait


This is the second attempt at a pencil portrait of Michael. The first was a good likeness but I'd not placed him correctly. This one is much better.

I've been a bit distracted the last few days, I'm doing a Christmas craft fair later on today. Generally selling any artwork I can, but I'm also going to try some live caricaturing again. I'm not sure how it will go, but I won't know until I've tried, will I? So, I must off and carry on preparing.

THIS IS IT grosses $7.4 million on first day


Sony's much-hyped Michael Jackson last released documentary THIS IS IT moonwalked to an upbeat $7.4 million in estimated first-day boxoffice on Wednesday.Pre-release forecasts had projected that the pic would open upward of $40 million through Sunday

"This Is It" bowed simultaneously in 97 foreign territories, which outperformed U.S. and Canadian grosses by ringing up $12.7 million on Wednesday. That made for a first-day worldwide boxoffice of $20.1 million.

"This Is It" at 9 p.m. PDT Tuesday, but the studio included those grosses -- totaling $2.2 million -- in its Wednesday tally. Sony acquired worldwide distribution rights to the pic for a reported $60 million.

Michael Jackson - moonwalking

I decided to have another go at Michael. I was quite happy until I did the shading. I'm not sure it's working but I think I'll put it down until the morning. I'm posting the picture, so far, for an image - I hate not posting an image. So here's Michael in moonwalk pose. It's hard to convey moonwalking in a still! I may tweak the picture and repost tomorrow if I'm still not happy with it.

Michael Jackson, Bad!

This is my drawing of Michael. Not really happy with he likeness, face is too long. Really happy with the hair. Skin tones are OK and happy with the body, not the ankles...Oh I've missed off his feet! Whoops! Picture is a bit rubbish but done under artificial light at night and I'm tired. Colours? I was going for the 70's feel!

Might redo it or attempt something different. I couldn't bring myself to do an older Michael. He was already a caricature in later years.

John Mayer plays Human Nature / Human Nature w wykonaniu Johna Mayera



It's one of my favourite songs by Michael Jackson, and I think the way John Mayer paraphrased it was more than simply marvellous. He killed it! There are mixed reviews of yesterday's memorial, I must say though it was very solemn and well-done. I loved Jennifer Hudson, she is a killer! She has this incredible kind of voice, that leaves me awe and speechless! I guess one could wake her up in the middle of the night, and she still'd sing like a goddess! There were touching moments as well- as his brother dedicated him a song, or of course when his daughter was on stage.



Jedna z moich ulubionych piosenek Michaela Jacksona, i jestem zdania, iż sposób w jaki wykonał ją John Mayer nie można ująć tak łatwo w słowach. To było niesamowite. Wczorajszy memoriał (tak to się nazywa?!) nie wszystkim się podobał, według mnie wszak był bardzo dobrze przygotowany i wzniosły (?). Bardzo mi się podobała Jennifer Hudson, ona jest zabójcza! Ma ten typ głosu, który odbiera Ci mowę! Zakładam się, że budząc ja w środku nocy, wciąż by zaśpiewała niczym bogini! Nie zabrakło wzruszających momentów- piosenka jego brata czy też parę, jakże ważnych, słów jego córki.

I am starting to realize...... Zaczynam pojmować..


..that he really is gone. I am just following the broadcast on CNN, and finally it's getting to me : Michael Jackson is really dead. He is gone.
You can watch it, if you want to here. On CNN.



...że naprawdę odszedł. Właśnie śledzę nadawany na żywo pogrzeb na CNN, i wreszcie zaczynam pojmować, że Michael Jackson już nie żyje. Odszedł.
Możecie obejrzeć jego pogrzeb, jeśli chcecie tu, na CNN.


It's just so sad / To takie smutne.

The Journal Remembers Michael Jackson

The Journal would like to pay tribute to Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009) by posting our favorite Michael Jackson lyrics. These words continually give us the determination to strive for a better world by first bettering ourselves. We thank him for using music to remind us of this responsibility that we have to ourselves and to our world:

Gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right

As I turned up the collar on
My favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind
Pretending not to see their needs

A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And one man's soul
They follow each other
On the wind, ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
Na na na, na na na, na na na na

I've been a victim of
A selfish kinda love
It's time that I realize
There are some with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me
Pretending that they're not alone

A willow, deeply scarred
Somebody's broken heart
And a washed out dream
(Washed-out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that change

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways, yeah
(Change)
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
'Cause when you close your heart
(You can't close your, your mind)
Then you close your mind

(That man, that man, that man)
(That man, that man, that man)
(With the man in the mirror, oh yeah)
(That man you know, that man you know)
(That man you know, that man you know)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Change)
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself then make that change

(Na na na, na na na, na na na na)
Ooh, oh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Na na na, na na na, na na na na)

Oh no
Oh no, I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good
Sure mon
(Change)
Just lift yourself
You know, you got to stop it yourself
(Yeah)
Oh, make that change
(I gotta make that change today, oh)
(Man in the mirror)
You got to, you got to not let yourself, brother oh
Yeah
You know that
(Make that change)
(I gotta make that make me then make)
You got, you got to move
Sure mon, sure mon
You got to
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Make that change
Stand up and lift yourself, now
(Man in the mirror)
Make that change
(Gonna make that change, sure mon)
(Man in the mirror)
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know
(Change)
Make that change

Yesterday the music died /








Michael Jackson is dead. The King of Pop, the man who was my first pop idol, king, whose cassettes and longplayers were the first I ever purchased. The man who wrote history, changed music and set standards as high as no one before and no one after him. The man who electrified with his voice, skills and dancing style, who gathered millions of spectators, sold as many cds as no one else. The man who sang beautiful tunes as "Man in the mirror", "Who is it", "I'll be there" or "They don't care about us". He is really dead. I can tell you that he and his sister Janet were my and my best friend's and my boyfriend's childhood heroes. We imitated their dance styles, we lip-synched their songs, collected every single little article , picture or poster from magazines, we dressed up as the jacksons for carnival, we followed his concerts breathlessly on tv, watched his movie for one million and one amazing time. It's not only Jacko gone, but something from our childhoods as well. I hope he's in a better place, somewhere, they understand him. Good-bye MJ and thank you for your music.

Michael Jackson nie żyje. Król Popu, mój pierwszy muzyczny idol, którego płyty i kasety były zarazem moimi pierwszymi. Człowiek, który uwiecznił się w historii, zmienił cały przemysł muzyczny i podniósł poprzeczkę tak wysoko jak nikt przed i po nim. Ktoś, kto elektryzował swoim głosem, umiejętnościami i sposobem tańca, kto potrafił zgromadzić millionową publiczność, ktoś kto sprzedał tyle płyt, jak nikt inny. Człowiek , który zaśpiewał przepiękne piosenki , takie jak "Man in the mirror", "Who is it", "I'll be there" czy też " They don't care about us". On naprawdę nie żyje. Mogę wam powiedzieć, iż zarówno on jak i jego siostra Janet, to moi, mojej najlepszej przyjaciółki i mojego chłopaka- bohaterowie z dzieciństwa. Naśladowaliśmy ich styl tańca, udawaliśmy, że śpiewamy ich piosenki, zbieraliśmy każdy mały artykulik, obrazek czy plakat. Na bale przebierańców szliśmy jako Jacksonowie, koncerty śledziliśmy wstrzymując oddech, a film obejrzeliśmy milion i jeden wspaniały raz. To nie tylko Jacko odszedł, ale cząstka naszej młodości. Mam nadzieję, że jest w lepszym miejscu, gdzie go rozumieją. Żegnaj MJ i dziękuję za muzykę!

King of Pop said to be dead!

Media reports the best Artist of all times died! This can't be true. Please tell me, he isn't!

Media piszą o śmierci Michaela Jacksona, największej gwiździe muzyki! To nie może być prawdą, proszę powiedzcie mi, że to nie jest prawda!
