He wasn’t the King of Kings of Pop, but he can still thrill a greasy drip pan.
Now c’mon, that’s pretty good. It looks a whole lot more like Michael Jackson than pretty much any Jesus sighting. The key is to know who it is supposed to be before you are told, and that’s clearly the Moonwalking man. My Lenin is IMO better, and yet to be beaten, but still. Hooooo hoo! Bauw!
Tip o’ the sequined fedora to Carlos Cardoso.

I believe it was a fedora, not a bowler. My memory may be wrong, though.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:03 am
Looks more like Gary Numan, the guy who sang “Cars” back in 1980.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:10 am
It’s a sign! Michael Jackson is the Messiah!
July 1st, 2009 at 8:10 am
I’m with L Ron Hubbub. I can’t see Jacko in there at all. Can you give us an outline to show us where we’re supposed to be looking?
July 1st, 2009 at 8:13 am
That’s clearly a Borg.
Your grease will be assimilated. Heat resistance is futile.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:15 am
Yeah, looks like the Borg Queen from Star Trek: First Contact.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:36 am
Thought he was the King of Pop, not the King of Pa

Oops! You’re right, it’s a fedora. Thanks, I fixed it.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:44 am
Power of suggestion – I saw the word “Jack” and for some reason thought “Jack White,” as in the White Stripes, who this is clearly an image of.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:47 am
I total thought borg as well, before reading the post – and as bad as Jacko looked in the later years, he never looked like a borg.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:48 am
I see him… looks like he’s, umm, dead….
July 1st, 2009 at 8:50 am
Finally a messiah with a dance-able soundtrack!

It really looks like his hair was on fire
July 1st, 2009 at 9:18 am
The real question- what was being baked?
*Note one minute later*
Carne Asada!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:27 am
I see Marylin Manson.
July 1st, 2009 at 9:45 am
Jesus Grease?
July 1st, 2009 at 10:22 am
That’s not Michael. The pan has a nose.
July 1st, 2009 at 10:26 am
Looks like Woody Allen with a black eye.
July 1st, 2009 at 10:28 am
That’s it! It’s Woody Allen in that robot get-up from Sleeper.
July 1st, 2009 at 11:09 am
the face here looks so natural
July 1st, 2009 at 11:34 am
I can’t see Jackson. It looks like Dr Evil with a black eye and a scorched back head.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:31 pm
With as many “different” faces as MJ had…
Just to be safe keep your children away from thriller grease!
July 1st, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Nosferatu or Darth Vader without the helmet.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:48 pm
The supposed Lenin image is actually of a man with very different impact on the world. Click my name to see the answer.
July 1st, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Looks more like David Bowie in his Diamond Dogs-era getup to me, complete with the famous eye-patch (okay, on the wrong eye, but still…).
July 1st, 2009 at 7:26 pm
Yes, I was with the helmet-less Darth Vader, myself. But man… get that into some soapy water, will ya?
July 1st, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Well I always thought Whacko Jacko was a bit of a greaseball & it sure looks like he’s gone from black to (very) white there …
(Desperately trying not to quote a heap of NSFW Michael Jackson jokes …)
July 1st, 2009 at 9:01 pm
I think it’s a contemplative David Bowie.
July 1st, 2009 at 9:58 pm
It’s Edith Piaf.
July 1st, 2009 at 10:33 pm
Hmmm, he looks sad.
July 2nd, 2009 at 7:17 am
Wow, the resemblance is eerie. It even has the burn marks.
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:50 am
OMG, is that for real??? LOL
Michael Jackson will become a new JC?????
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:51 am
P.S.: Sorry for the bad english…
July 2nd, 2009 at 2:03 pm
He was only the “King Of Pop” because he demanded to be called that, and the media capitulated.
1992. Look it up if you don’t believe me.
If I recall, it’s about the time Prince changed his name to a weird symbol. It was retconned to “Love Symbol #2″. Argh! Why do I even know that?!
Anyway, look like the face on Mars to me.

did someone melt the plastic man again??? you sure thats food?
