Michael Jackson looks different...

No, this isn't a blog about his failed attempt at building a fifty foot robot (that shoots lazers) in his likeness to roam the deserts of Las Vegas as a promotional tool or about the droidz known to accompany him onstage, but it probably should be. Below are videos featuring a few gentlemen that look more like MJ than MJ himself as of late.

This gem by director Kodanda Rami Reddy came out quite some time after Michael Jackson's Thriller and is a Tollywood parody. Tollywood refers to the film indutries of both the Bengali and Telugu regions of Eastern and Southern India; not to be confused with Bollywood (Mumbai-based Hindi-language film industry) and Kollywood (Tamil-language film industry based in India). The actor is either Rajnikant or Chiranjeevi; anyone care to confirm or deny?



This offering is Hindi and features comedic actor Jagdeep. Although it is nowhere near as dynamic as its South Indian counterpart, at least they rep Wacko at the end. Thankfully, there are blackface and orange haired zombies to keep us occupied until that time comes.


I couldn't leave you without the real deal. Khatham, gatham (க்ஹதம் கதம்) = the past has passed. Anyone know what's Telugu or Hindi for plagiarism?


Personally, I'd rather see everything done with Legos.


Browsing on Extra Grind the other day, I noticed something along the same lines. CPDRC inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (Cebu, Philippines) practice a routine.
