Conspiracy

What does Sonic The Hedgehog and Michael Jackson have in common? No, this is not a pedophile joke. But strangely enough they have a lot more in common that I wish I knew as a kid who was raised on Michael Jackson hits. Check this out!

"According to an interview in the French magazine Black & White—the "official magazine of Michael Jackson"—Jackson's composer and musical director Brad Buxer says Michael was responsible for some of Sonic 3's compositions. The themes that appear in Sonic 3 and some of Jackson's own songs are not a coincidence.

As for Sega and Sonic the Hedgehog lead Yuji Naka's caginess about confirming Jackson's involvement? This may be your answer.

"And if he is not credited for composing the music, it's because he was not happy with the result sound coming out of the console," Buxer said. "At the time, game consoles did not allow an optimal sound reproduction, and Michael found it frustrating. He did not want to be associated with a product that devalued his music..." - Kotaku

Etch - A - Jackson

Holy crap this guy is GOOD!

George Viosich III., the genius behind what is known to kids as the Etch - A - Sketch. Anybody try and draw something on those things? Yeah, I've successfully drawn a square. No, make that a rectangle, cause even a perfect square is hard to pull off. But no, George here doesn't stop at the rectangle, he has to draw Michael Jackson, or tons others.

Don't believe this is real? Check out this video.

Here's his site for any other amazing things he might do.

Dr. McNinja

It's about time I shared this gold mine of genius awesomeness with you. Forgive me.

Dr. McNinja is a doctor who is also a ninja. Now just think about that for a minute. I can't think of a more perfect circle, can you? You can either start at the beginning of his adventures, start in the middle, don't forget 3/4ths the way through, or jump right into his current adventure.

The comic is made by Chris Hastings, who writes and draws the comic. He's got a couple of buddies who help ink and color the comic, which you'll see later on in the series.

Here's a few of my favorite parts from the series:

How can you resist? It's pure awesomeness in it's purest of pure forms! I recommend starting from the beginning a reading it all. You will be an awesomer person for it.

Michael Jackson

1983 was the year I was born and it's the same year Michael Jackson released Billie Jean. So pretty much 1983 was the best year to be born, ever.

In honor of MJ, I give you this. Some of you, like me, were lucky enough to see this in 3D at Disneyland back in the 80's. Yes I said 3D!

If you want to see how MJ got himself into this crazy situation, click here for part 1.

On a sadder note, I will never fulfill one of my life goals to see MJ in concert. Way to go Universe, you've done it again.

Oh, and just in case you were wondering.
