Their Michael Jackson is white. MJ wasn't white until after Thriller, ya damn revisionists.

I cracks me up when I see the Thriller video and remember how black and how normal looking MJ was back in the day.

This "resurrecting" Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video counts as corporate-enthralled zombiosis in my book. Unless dancing "Thriller" is just what zombies do, eh Bugbread?

Of course, I read this as "zombies in the streets of Mecca". Now that's a newsfilter to await with anticipation.

Pretty_Generic, that happens every year. Or maybe you've never heard of the Hajj?

Hm. My Lexington-based childhood is squeamish in its grave.

Wow. My hometown's fucked up. Why didn't this happen when I living there? Life isn't fair. IT ISN'T FAIR!

What's a "flickr photo"? "Photos" will do. We don't credit the web host for any of the other content we link to.

Woah. I was there this year. This is the first year I've lived in Lexington, and we happened to be driving past when it started so we decided to check it out. It's definitely the best thing Lexington does.

Wow. I loved that video when it came out and I totally did the moves along with the zombies during that part of the video. This looks like it would be a blast to participate in!

"It's definitely the best thing Lexington does."

Never been to the races, eh?

On the other hand, Lexington IS even more boring than Louisville, except for Kentucky's best football team, the Transy Trannies.
