Why 2k?

BONUS: Super dramatic YouTube video of this thing spinning on a lazy Susan for two and a half minutes. Better than Propofol!

    The super dramatic YouTube video is the scariest thing I’ve seen in a while. And he said he didn’t endorse the occult.

    That is the “Red Army” jacket circa late 80′s – before Dangerous but after Thriller… shouldn’t the crystals for his face be a darker color? they did however get the nose right…

    That video was highly effective. I could not see the appeal in the thing when it was stationary, but after watching it spin a few times, OOOOH SHINY!!! WANT!!!

    That is one hypnotic spinning head. If I had too much money, I would get a head covered in little crystals, mount it on a turn table, and invite my friends over to marvel at the sparkles under the influence of their favorite mind-altering substance. Except, my head would have to be Captain Picard, Tim Curry as Frank N. Furter, Freddy Krueger, or something along those lines.

    I think using the crystals would have been better done on a T-shirt for those screaming, sobbing fans.

    You know the ones… they’ll be back at his ranch year after year, sobbing and screaming. They’ll name their pets and/or kids after Michael Jackson.

    “This is my little daughter, Jaxisonia! *choking sob* I named her after MICHAEL! *snot-dripping sob* MY DEAR SWEET MICHAEL!”

    I’d pay $2,000 for a Bedazzled Michael Jackson, but for that David Duchovny they have listed, I’d only go as high as $500.
