It would be an epic sale I agree.

Metallica fans sent the sales of that game to new heights.

Can you imagine the sales NAMBLA would add to a MJ game?

Man, hate to admit it but I would probably buy a MJ pin.

I can't believe stern hasn't went for the license. Even if it were crazy expensive they would make it back so fast. Thriller multi-ball could be done very cool! Pop the balls out like in TOM from what looks like graves.

That actually worked.
My thought was pretty much "WTF?" until I read your reasoning.
It might work.

MJ slot machines in casinos are very popular and entertaining.

I loved the arcade game as a kid. But that was before all the scandals and weird behavior. Rescuing children seems suspicious every time I play it now.

As a pop musician, dancer and entertainer... he is unparalleled --

But it seems about as creepy as making a Roman Catholic themed pinball machine.

Maybe we should wait until allegations have cleared and cooled for at least 5 years.

I think JJP is the one to do this theme right (after playing WOZ), but I'd hate to seem take that big of a risk in their infancy.

Gary is a very conservative guy. There was no way he was getting involved with a homosexual pedophile who spent more than 34 million dollars to have sexual contact with 9 year old boys.

There's lots of potential in a MJ pin. With his music catalog and plethora of material to draw from his videos (Thriller, Billy Jean, Beat it, etc) it could be awesome.

God, when I was a kid I thought when MJ was in Beat it he could kick your ass. Even Huey Louis in that jean jacket looked tough. How things seem different when I was younger

I don't know...just because something was hot in Vegas doesn't make it a great Pin theme.

Heck, if so..then a Celine Dion pin would be on fire, as would machines for Tom Jones and Wayne Newton.

I would not put a Michael Jackson pin in my house...for the same reason that I wouldn't buy an Aaron Hernandez pin.

MJ was eccentric but he did not really fit the pedo model. I've been around some of these and they have some similar characteristics, none of which MJ ever showed (at least not on camera).
MJ had a messed up childhood, and when he finally had the resources to 'relive' it, he took it to an extreme only because he could. I've seen someone do this, and it's a bit creepy, but harmless.

I would probably consider an MJ pin. Heck, I remember playing Moonwalker in the arcade as a teen.

I can picture the rule set now...

Each mode, you sexually molest a different child.

Tee Hee........I would totally buy a MJ game. Love the music, and there's enough material to theme out the game. Ideally I would rather see a Moonwalker pin based on his movie or a Captain Eo pin (which Disney has done licenses with Stern before)

Are you kidding me?! This pin would give every male an acceptable reason to spinning around in circles, grab their crotch and yell "wooooooo".

So when the kid says MJs penis is "spotted like a pony" and then the cops arrest him and his penis turns out to be spotted like a pony - what kind of model does that fit?

I would buy this in a heartbeat

The spotted pony model?

I don't know if that kid was a model, but I bet at 9 years old, he was a tight fit...

Hit the spiral "Bubbles" ramp for the "Jesus Juice" Jackpot. Complete the orbits to "lawyer up" so you don't lose your next court case. Collect the entire Beatles catalog standups to enable "Lights Out" wizard mode where the game goes dark from too much Propofol.

S.O.S. (Soda on Screen)

Did someone say 'Tom Jones' pinball machine?

MJ was honestly the founding member in 1978? Why is that never on the news?

If this can be the translite, count me in.

He messed up Corey Feldman real bad.

Or this for the Translight

maybe i am old, maybe just jaded but i am not surprised that some here have commented on the fact that they would buy one. or even begin to think that he didnt fit the "model" of a pedophile. I mean whats the big deal. he molested a few innocent kids, paid off the parents to keep them quiet and help pay for counseling and future pedo cases against them ,as they now will have a much greater chance of becoming one. no biggie, right? i mean we have a guy running for office now, leading in the polls that spent hundreds of thousands on hookers, another leading the polls that pervertedly sent pictures of his privates to young and maybe underage girls, another from connecticut that is in office , guilty of lying about service to our country, an attorney general who has been caught lying under oath and on and on. why stop to worry about a stupid little pedophilia. I got back into pinball because I was trying to escape watching the demise of our country but somehow I cant escape. buy a stupid MJ machine and hope your child doesnt get picked up by one of his ilk and suffer lifelong mental anguish. no biggie.

I agree. Worldwide, whoever he 'was', this thing would be through the roof.

i don't care what he did or not.
his dancing and music influenced a lot of people.
personally i'd have to see it first.

but yes it would be a hit, no doubt.
it will probably sell very fast and can already smell the flippers.

I think it would be a great music pin. Captain EO mode!

Sure MJ was crazy & was a pedo.... but he could dance... so all is forgiven. Seriously, if the average guy was caught enticing kids to their homes like MJ did, they would currently be getting butt raped by a large inmate.

In all seriousness, I think an Adolf Hitler pin would be great.

I don't care what he did or not ; the man's art, leadership, love of country, and vision influenced a lot of people and solidified modern Europe.

Hitler_pin.jpg

Too funny!

I would not.

of course it's bad if he was a pedo, a serial killer or whatever... at this point i don't really care, he's dead!
we are talking about what he did for the music industry. like it or not, he was the king of pop!

I'm friggin' scared! You might as well be asking for a Ted Bundy pin...or a John Wayne Gacy pin...you can't be serious?

Lmao

Literally

seems his family has no problem raping his corpse with license deals, why not a pin?

MJ is the 3rd best selling artist of all time (preceded only by elvis and the beatles)
http://au.launch.yahoo.com/galleries/g/-/14054507/top-10-best-selling-artists-of-all-time/14054518/

Look, I don't care what he did or not, there is no proof that he actually did anything wrong.

Just like Osama Bin Laden, if you don't have a trial, you can't say he's truly guilty of anything.

Hmmm the biggest pop icon in the world. Best selling artist of all time. Changed music, fashion, broke racial boundaries. Michael Jackson was awesome. I cant say he didnt molest those kids, nor can anyone say he did. He was acquitted of all charges. I think we can all agree he helped a crap load more people than he supposedly hurt. He also supported more charities than any other celebrity.

Adolf Hitler pin though? Not a chance, he ordered the deaths of over 11 million people, six million of those being Jews. He brought about world war 2, leading to the deaths of more than 70 million people world wide.
Not even funny as a joke IMO. Not cool.

WOW! Not even sure how to respond to that...so I won't.

I think an Adolf Hitler pin would be great.

Too late, Bally already did that in the 1970s:

hittler_bally.jpg

Not true at all.

He did not even make the top 100:

Top Ten most generous celebrities of 2008, according to The Giving Back Fund:

1) Paul Newman - donated an estimated $21 million

2) Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt - donated an estimated $13.4 million

3) Mel Gibson- donated an estimated $6.5 million

4) Richard Childress (former NASCAR racer) - donated an estimated $5 million

5) Oscar De La Hoya - donated an estimated $3.5 million

6) Oprah Winfrey- donated an estimated $2.4 million

7) Sam Waterston - donated an estimated $2.1 million

Yao Ming (basketball player) - donated an estimated $2 million

9) Patricia Cornwell (author) - donated an estimated $2 million

10) Barbra Streisand- donated an estimated $1.7 million

Zzz. Read what i said bud. Most charities supported, The Give Back Fund is one charity. Fail.

http://jollypeople.com/michael-jackson-guiness-world-record/1682/

I'm not saying he was a saint, but he never had his day in court, so it's all hearsay.

There were plenty of doctored documents after the war, the victor always gets to rewrite history.

.

Just like it was easier to simply murder Osama Bin Laden, than to actually see if he was guilty in a court of law.

MJ died with millions of dollars in debt (mostly to bank of america). Hell, the tour he was starting up was meant to start paying back some of that. His neverland ranch went up for sale because he was paying 4 million JUST for the staff, nevermind the property tax and utilities. He might have earned a lot, but he sure knew how to spend it too.

O dear. Im not even going to justify that with a response if you really believe what you said above you have been watching too much Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura. Peace man.

The Giving Back Fund organizes the direction of funds so that they actually do something and not just get used up in a bunch of administrative nonsense.

Every year they publish who has given the most to ANY charity, not just one of theirs.

Warren Buffet, not MJ, holds the record for the largest total given to charity, don't believe what fanboy sites publish.
