Michael Jackson is Left 4 Dead

As a tribute to the King of Pop, who tragically passed away last week, an enterprising Left 4 Dead modder has created a mod that replaces the game's music with some of Michael Jackson's most popular songs.

1 - Considering that Neverland has already been sold,
I doubt that MJ's "cult" will ever be as big as Elvis's.

But then again, he never went through a "fat" phase, so there's not going to be as many impersonators around.

1.2 - A mod where MJ zombies and Elvis zombies hold a dance/sing off for your brains...
Hmmm...

Edit:
Just watched the evening news; looks like I have to take that Neverland comment back.

his death wasn't tragic. his life was tragic. and he brought a good portion of it on himself.

i'm tired of hearing about this guy.

Reguardless of what you thought about his personal life, or how he looked... Michael Jackson has made great music that has touched people (no pun intended), and has inspired people everywhere!

Comedians like Eddie Griffin have imitated him. Singers like Usher, Justin Timberlake and lots of others have copied his dancing styles and such.

The point is, this is a touching situation for some. I like to laugh at jokes about anyone, but at least wait a week or two...

But Elvis was not as globally large as Michael Jackson was. Michael Jackson sold out concerts nearly everywhere he went.

Elvis was clearly in an era where media werent as strong back then . I dont think any of both is stronger than the other , thought i vastly prefer MJ's music .
The only ones left with as big an impact might be the beatles or queen , with both already dead members .
They both had massive impact on music and each defined their genres .

Think you got it wrong. More like the media, the entertainment industry was more centralized, less homogenized, back then. Public attention was more focused. MJ and Elvis, their deaths, are equal in relevance, but MJ's will probably end up being less trivialized, not as exploited, because of the Elvis example.

And Queen died Freddy.

John Lennon's death was as big if not bigger than Elvis' or MJ's. Correct me if I'm wrong? Beatles are the best band ever.

Nope, MJ is more widely known around the world than the Beatles or Elvis. This is mostly due to his dance routines rather than his lyrics or songs. Many people in India do not speak English and do not know who any of the Beatles are but they do know Michael Jackson because of his dance moves, for example.

^ MJ was crushed because Paul's and MJ's friendship was over. He only bought The Beatles catalouge because he was a huge fan himself. My dad told me though, when Lennon died, the World shut down. My dad and his friends and relatives didn't go to work or school and you hear and see Lennon everywhere. MJ was declining in fame with the exception of his negative press until his death. And I'm pretty sure Beatles are bigger than MJ or Elvis. You don't sell a billion records alone on NA and Europe. They also influenced countless bands and singers.

5 - All this talk about MJ is making me sick
I mean. Where was everyone when he needed people the most?. Fu*king leaches.

Leading up to his death alot of people and the media especially made him out to be a crazy lunatic and now everyone is praising and act like they miss him after he is dead. Too freaking late.

The media knows no shame at all. All of this hoopla is from the media because it sells their god dam story. If MJ was alive they would be kicking him non stop 24/7.

He had many supporters who would stand outside chanting his name while he was in court for false charges. The media always does this but you say it as if everyone in the media agrees to past announcements about Michael Jackson. I noticed people who I've never seen in the media say such things. Really depends on who you single out which is hard to do because his charges were so long ago its hard to remember who exactly in the media said such things.

ObviousTruth - 129 days 6 hours ago

just because a heavily edited jury found him not guilty one time doesn't mean the charges were false. if he was as innocent as you believe, why'd he settle the first couple out of court for MILLIONS?

and while i agree that ppl are just jumping on the "michael is dead" bandwagon, i disagree that he deserves any of it. the guy has been ruining his body and has basically gone crazy over the last 2 decades. and all the evidence from the autopsies points to suicide. the only thing about this guy worth respecting was his music. and that was 15+ years ago. most ppl hated him during those 15 years cuz the media told them to, and now they love him again cuz the media is telling them to.

simply put...people are sheep.

lets see how big of a deal ppl make when real men like stephen hawking die. you know...people who, despite their natural disabilities, still strove to make the world a better place. not self-centered psychos who tortured their bodies and maybe even took advantage of small children.

i guess in most ppl's minds, having an intimate understanding of physics, chemistry, and the universe isn't nearly as important or world changing as a guy with a few hit songs. pretty sad.

I honestly don't think he *abused* any children, he probably acted inappropriately for a man of his age to be around children, but i don't think he set out to abuse any child, there was an interview with MJ as a kid, back just around when he nearing the end of the jackson 5 - he said he doesn't have any friends, he can't play, he can have his friends over to sleep - so thats what i think he was compensating for when he COULD do it, compensating for all the lost time as a child.

He opened up his Home every two weeks for sick children, he let them play in his theme park, he entertained them, he specially adapted his house for wheel chairs, had hospital beds made in this theater so those that need to stay in bed could watch him perform.

Yes, it is pretty weird for a man of his age to love to act like a child and play games with other children like a child, but i just think it was his childhood, or lack of that hit something in his head that made him want to live his childhood again, he could never have any friends as a kid.

I was one of those joining in calling him a pedo, but after watching interviews (not about child abuse stuff) and watching how he acts, i honestly think it was him who was abused, abused by the media, abused by those parents (and maybe children) who ABUSED MJ's trust just to get a payment out of him.

The truth is those families settled for money. Would you settle for money if you know your kid was molested?.

For me i will do everything possible to get justice if it was my kid that was molested. Never ever will i settle for money.

I am not a MJ fan nor do i hate him. However i do admire him as an artist and a human being but it just saddens me that it took his death for people to leave him alone for for his so called fans to remember what a great artist he is.

it's proven...not proved. and OJ was "proved" innocent too. you defend him?

but MJ settled out of court for multiple millions of dollars more than once before this one case actually went to trial.

not saying he is 100% guilty, but the chips were definitely stacked against him. and, it's far more likely he got off, not because his over priced lawyers presented a great case, but because of who MJ used to be.

EDIT: and if all you need to do to become a "legend" is be able to moonwalk. Then sign me up for the hall of fame.

Fact is they were both accquited or are you guys saying that if they are black,it is questionable?.

@Obvious. MJ had a good reason to settle out of court. The attention brought about that case really damaged his music career. In fact i believe that case really killed his career. After that case people saw him only as a child molester. The settlement was really a last ditch effort on his part to save his image and his music career.

7.4 - Very different Truth,
Their was tons of evidence that OJ did it and zero evidence that Michael Jackson did it. If you read the article I just posted you will see how much the prosecution were snakes.

Did you know the father of the abused child talked to a lawyer who is known to being a scumbag before he talked to the police?

Yeah, that would be cool, but I bet some people would be offended by it. It's too soon, maybe, to pay tributes to MJ in the only way video gamers know how: to put him in a game with us. I remember the media backlash to that one South Park episode that had Steve Irwin in hell. Parker and Stone just said, "It's nothing against Steve Irwin, but in the South Park universe, everyone goes to hell."
