These are crude, tasteless, and low-brow jokes about Michael Jackson's death. Do not read if you're offended and sad about the thought of Jacko dying. This blog believes in Freedom of Speech. And keep on moonwalkin' in Heaven you sick weirdo!
For beauty proposes and to live longer, Michael Jackson used to sleep in an oxygen tent. He later donated the bed to a Californian medical centre as a therapeutic aid for burns victims.

3. Jackson's Patented Anti-Gravity Boot
Michael Jackson invented and patented special boots that allowed the wearer to lean so far forward that it seems to defy gravity. He used this for the famous "lean" in the "Smooth Criminal" music video.
In 1985, a three-year-old chimpanzee named Bubbles was rescued from a Texas cancer research center by Michael Jackson. From that moment on, Bubbles went everywhere with Jackson, becoming his constant companion and purported best friend. He would even be dressed up in the same outfit as Jackson and toured with him on his Bad tour. Bubbles now resides in an animal sanctuary, he is no longer safe to be let out to play with the public. Jackson continued to visit his beloved pet with his children, and the chimp would resume a very childish and playful behavior when Jackson was around. (Source)

7. Michael Jackson's Video Game
Back when Jackson was merely a semi-eccentric star, Sega created a video game property for him, named Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. Moonwalker was notable for being an early example of real-life celebrities appearing in video games, and for using digitized versions of some of Jacko's songs. The game is also unintentionally ironic because Jackson is tasked with rescuing helpless children from a crime boss named Mr. Big (although in hindsight, perhaps it was Mr. Big who was doing the rescuing).
Imported from Japan! Think what you will of the eccentric 'King of Pop,' but there's no denying that his smash-hit album Thriller and the unforgettable title track and video have left and indelible mark on American pop culture. Fully assembled and painted, this 7" tall, fix posed, vinyl caricature figure presents Michael Jackson as he appeared in the video. (Source)
