Michael Jackson Mobile Phone Has Tons of Bling

Limited edition Michael Jackson phone has some serious bling bling. Shamoar!

With Michael Jackson's film now out in theaters, it doesn't seem a coincidence that a mobile phone has hit the market carrying his iconic name. Whether or not it would have received his stamp of approval is another story. However the seemingly invincible device does sport all the gold and sparkle that made the King of Pop's attire so off the wall.

At first glance, the mobile phone could definitely be a thriller to many rabid MJ fans, possibly a pimped-out, over-the-top monstrosity to others. It's decked out with more gold than an 80s rap star, covered from one end to the other and decorated with silver and (fake?) diamonds that seems more likely to weigh it down and strain the wrist.

Originally reported here, the technical specifics and pricetag weren't released. It's highly likely that the device isn't authorized by the Jackson estate, and we're not even sure what kind of phone is under all that dangerous bling--Engadget claims it may be a Vertu KIRF.

According to Shanzai, the phone comes packed with a plethora of Michael Jackson ringtones. There's only a limited number of these phones going on sale, so MJ fans may want to sell that car and figure out how to import one of the golden bad boys into the States. Currently the mobile phone is on sale in China, packed with a Jackson live performance DVD.

And yes, the names of his post-Motown albums are scattered throughout this article (save for History).

Apparently molesting children is only a problem if you are alive.

No respect for him.

Pedophile and left tons of debt to his family. Besides being all around crazy. Yet this guy gets more notice than the soldiers who die everyday protecting us. This I will never understand.

Protecting you from what? Internet viruses, H1N1, Bin laden.... Idiot



Protecting us from people like you, with no respect for those who volunteer their lives to make sure you can live your sorry life.

I might not be American but I have huge respect for the soldiers that serve in your armed forces. Maybe you should too.

Just let the man die already!
No movie, no phone, no kids on reality television...
Really, he died, we had a memorial concert, now let it be.

OK, enough with the unfounded accusations. The only crime committed where by the parents greed for money. There wasn't a shred of evidence that proved Michael was a pedophile. All charges were settled out of court...hmmm! I wonder for what? MONEY!!!

If the parents motivations were just then they wouldn't have settled. They did not seek real justice, they did not have they childrens best interest at heart.

The very first allegation came from a father that was a dentist, who coincidentally at the time lost $10 million on a failed film venture...hmmm! All others followed suit.

Do you think if they had any proof or if the allegations had any merit whats so ever the prosecution would have allowed the case(s) to be settled monetarily?

So stop with the lemming thinking!

Its like they say, a woman could be on a crowded beach in a bikini and its ok, but put her in the middle of the street or mall, and all of a sudden its not, why?! She is still wearing the same bikini, she is still in front of a crowd, just the context and perception has changed.

And that was the only form accusations aimed at Michael.

"unfounded accusations."

Fact: He had an alarm installed so when someone was walking down the hall to his bedroom it would signal him. Would you leave your child alone with him?....exactly. Good riddance to a pedophile.

Thank you for that. Someone who would disagree with your thoughts on this needs to experience the world a little more to understand what's going on. Now to the article at hand. This phone is an attempt to cash in on all the morons who think MJ was a genius instead of a man who made a few good songs and made every wrong move in the book on how to live his life. I hope these people get yanked for all their money.

This really isn't surprising at all. Just another attempt to rape a celeb's dead corpse for cash. They still occationally lug out biggy and tupac's rotting bodies for the same shit. They would do it to you and me if we were famous enough too. Of course MJ is a bit too weird in my book (not mentioning his other activities) for this to appeal to me.

OK, YAW MADE ME DO IT. DIDN'T THINK I HAD TO IN THIS SITUATION BUT I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE KNOW BETTER. BENTENTEN'S THE NAME

ALL THOSE STUPID COMMENTS DEGRADING THE MAN, BY GROWN FELLOW AMERICANS, FOR WHAT EVER THEIR DIFFERENCES MAY BE, ONLY MAKES ME REALIZE EVEN MORE, THAT ALL THOSE SOLDIERS THAT LOST, AND IS LOSING THEIR LIVES IN IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, AND ANYWHERE ELSE THEY ARE DEPLOYED IN THE NAME OF BRINGING PEACE AND UNITY AMONG PEOPLE WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, AND YET CONSTANTLY PROVING WITH IGNORANT COMMENTS LIKE WHAT'S BEING SAID ABOUT OUR OWN, WHOM WE'VE KNOWN FOR CENTURIES, PROVES THAT THOSE LIVES WERE SIMPLY LOST IN VAIN. AND I FELL EVEN MORE SORRY FOR THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT LIVES THAT WE TOOK SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO LIVE IN WAYS WE'RE TRYING TO FORCE OTHERS NOT TO. AMERICAS' ALREADY GOT A HEFTY PRICE TO PAY, BECAUSE GOD DON'T TAKE INNOCENT BLOOD SHED LIGHTLY, THOUGH WE DO. FOLKS, YOU MAY NOT REALIZE IT YET, BUT ALL WE'RE DOING, WITH IGNORANCE LIKE THIS, IS CONSTANTLY PROVING THAT WE DESERVE EVERYTHING GOD IS BRINGING ON US. UNTIL A REAL CHANGE IS MADE, WHICH I CAN'T SEE HAPPENING NO TIME SOON, CONSIDER THESE THE GOOD OLD DAYS,BECAUSE IT'S ALL DOWN HILL FROM HERE. MEET YOU AT THE BOTTOM
