“The King of Pop” Michael Jackson will be honored in China with one of the most hideous cell phones I’ve ever seen in my life. Packaged with a DVD, this phone looks like a door handle from an ’80s Las Vegas casino. Shanzai noted:
While there is no word on pricing just yet, we can tell you that it comes packaged with a Jackson live performance DVD, supports the finest quality plastic diamonds money can buy and has more Jackson ringtones than any right-minded human should ever need. Oh and the whole package is very exclusive with a limited quantity in existence.
I’ve seen my fair share of ridiculous and ugly mobile phones, but this one takes the cake. Katherine Jackson should put a stop to its production at once.
Where's the mole?
Sadly the thing will probably become a highly sought after high priced collectors item.Hard to believe looking at it but I dont doubt it.
LOL
"Provides the highest quality plastic diamonds money can buy"
That sentence alone scares the Jeebus out of me.

Full description, right there.
Ahh. Better.
I try to help.
Superman would whoop Batman's ass.
There are like 6 episodes are that from the different TV Shows. Pure greatness. JLA#1 – Supes called Bats the most Dangerous Man on the Planet after he saved the Justice League from Aliens. No help, just the human without super powers.
@MichaelPhone2.0 – That thing is ridiculous. I think the only thing that would make the phone better is if the person talking on it has a grille to match. Diamonds and all.
How do you guys add avatars?
rockin! Thanks N8R
@ Larcenous
"Most dangerous man on the planet"
Technically, Superman is not a man, he's an alien. What would Batman do against Darkseid? You can't just throw a batarang at him and tie him up.
Batman is only effective against other people. Also, name a straight man that lives with his butler and his "ward"… Bruce Wayne, obviously doesn't count.
@N8R Batman would shoot him with a Radion bullet.
True, Supes is not a man. That being said, Superman did entrust Batman with a Kryptonite ring; Superman could have given it to anyone, but understood that Bats was the only one who would be able to get the job done should the Man of Steel ever go rogue.
Physically, not many can do anything to Darkside. In the Timmiverse, Batman was the one being to ever dodge his Omega Beams, while in the comics, Batman broke his "no gun" rule to shoot Darkseid with a specialized bullet to incapacitate him.
There is also the manner of the respect garnered among the rest of the superheroes. Being one of the most brilliant minds on the planet, there are very few who can hang with him just do to his ability to both plan and improvise.
And nobody thinks "With all this radioactive material Batman wields and apparently carries in his belt, he must have 3 testicles"?
I'm sorry, it's a no contest. If Superman gave him Luthor's ring, then Superman beat Superman were Batman able to beat him with it. Hell, Green Lantern would probably mop up Batman. I just never got the allure. He's a regular dude, with an abundance of training, who hasn't aged since the 30's, has 3 balls, and dresses like a rodent.
My money's on the alien.
@N8R Ultimately you're right, but being a "normal human" is what makes Batman interesting. He gets by in the DC Universe because he's smarter and more cunning than the other heroes.
I thought Superman taught himself to go into a coma instead of dyeing from Kryptonite. Even if Batman won, Superman would still be alive. Therefore Superman wins because Batman will age and die long before Superman does.
@ R Pad
I never thought he was smarter or more cunning than Luthor. Luthor's richer too. If Wayne was so smart, he'd say "F*** it, I'll just employ an army of genetically engineered cyborgs".
Another thing is, his money. Where will Batman be when the economy comes for his job too? I want to see ghetto Batman. You know the Batmobile aint no hybrid. What's he doing for global warming? He's killing us all.
Ghetto Batman rides on 36 inch rims.
@N8R He's as smart and cunning as Luthor, but more physically capable. They're both ridiculously rich, so an economic downturn would just be a minor blip to them. For me, it's pretty much the whole radar. Ha!
@ R Pad
But Luthor's smart enough to just hire goons. That way, if one of them gets hurt, they're easily replaceable. That's how an operation works.
Maybe we should look in to crimefighting or sinister plots of world domination? It works well for them!
@N8R They just have different management styles. Batman likes to be hands-on, but sometimes delegates to Nightwing, Robin, etc. Luthor prefer to spread his responsibilities to more people.
@ R Pad
I don't trust Republicans as it is. If one came up to me dressed as Bat… I would be even less likely to trust him. Luthor at least lies to your face like the rest of them.
Superman… bleeding heart, boy scout, demolishes the city fighting his battles and therefore raises taxes… obviously a Democrat.
But Batman voted for W.
Batman wouldn't have voted. There would have been no confidence in the system. Bruce Wayne on the other hand, would have voted for whomever invited him to the most fund raisers, and you can bet that every politican and their mothers would have been going for his dime.
The whole Superman/Batman fight is one of those endless arguments. On one hand, you have a vastly superior alien who at the height of his powers was able to shift stars out of their orbits through sheer strength. On the other, you have the one human who is not only completely respected by the super hero community, but also slightly feared, as his mix of paranoia, intelligence, and apparently extra set of balls, sets him apart from his peers as the guy who gets shit done whether you like it or not. I will always side with Bats, but that's just the kind of guy I am. Nothing at all against the big blue boy scout, but he'll always be just as good, but not better.
It would all end up coming down to the writer anyway, so it's pointless to really argue lol.
Of course it's a pointless debate… that's what makes it fun.
All the rules to the debate rely on lure that has been introduced before. In the DC Universe, that makes for a stretchy envelope because of how different the stories have been interpreted SEVERAL different ways unlike Marvel. Marvel always had continuity on the forefront where DC was just worried about selling books.
Example: The Batman you described has only been like that for like the past 25 years. For 30 years before that, he was just as much of a boy scout as Sups and liked to hang out with a little boy.
And thinking a white, crazy rich dude isn't on the right side of the aisle is almost as in sane as thinking Batman could beat Superman with a Batarang, Bat grapple, and a ring Superman would see through his belt. Unless your suggesting that Batman's belt is lined with lead, making it crazy heavy.
How does he fit so much stuff in that little belt anyway? He must go to the same luggage company as Mary Poppins.
Disclaimer- I really dont know that much about superheros,
but I always liked spiderman the best. Also, I always found the speech about superman near the end of Kill Bill to be profoundly interesting when applied to super hero debate.
Misspelled my email adress. Stil gettin used to the itouch.
@N8R Batman uses Pym Particles to shrink everything down to…oh wait, wrong company.
@ R Pad
So is Mary Poppins, but while were at it… Superman vs Spawn would be a good fight.
@ bsukenyan
Spiderman vs Batman would be a good fight.
@N8R In general, Marvel has better cop-out explanations: Pym Particles, unstable molecules, adamantium, Skrulls, etc.
@ R Pad
DC got Myxlplyx (just playing devil's advocate). But your right. Marvel has always had better stories. However, my 2 favorite series of all time are both DC.
Preacher
Watchmen (I read it when I was 10)
To be fair though, both of those heavily relied on plot twists. Genius writers though. Nobody who knows comics can talk smack on Alan Moore or Garth Ennis.
@N8R – actually the ring is carried in a lead lined case inside the utility belt. Yeah the last 25 years have been great for Batman, pre that the whole comic universe was pretty sketchy.
@Ray – no need to use Pym Particles when you can backwards engineer the Terrific Spheres lol. Marvel also has a better Multiverse explanation that requires less "Crisis" to run effectively.
Watchman was an awesome graphic novel. Probably one of the best I have ever read. Alan Moore is a great writer, it's a real shame he has been burned so many times with the movies of his work that he wouldn't give the Watchman movie a real shot. They did a great job with that too, and all they had to do was let the psychic squid go lol.
@LarcenousLaugh I disagree on the Watchmen movie. I thought it was only okay. A lot of it was cool for fans, but if someone went into it not knowing about the comics, it was just ridiculous. I enjoyed half of it, only because I love the books. Too many things were cut and altered though.
@ Larcenous
If you've never read Preacher, I highly recommend it. My email is on the RPad.TV "About" page (because RPad is the man). Send me an email and I'll send you the PDF's.
Preacher is phenomenal. Everyone should read it.
@N8R – will do. I love new stuff
@Ray – One of the things I really liked about Watchman was the fact that it was for the folks that had read it. It was a huge fan service, and while there was a lot missing, I felt what was left was really the summation of all the ideas in the book. Supposedly a lot of what was cut is put back in with the Super-Ultra-Mega-Zack Snyder-Masturbatathon edition that should be out soon. He even goes so far as to add the Black Freighter sections back in.
