Chinese developers plan to build their own Neverland to honor Michael Jackson
The future of Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch is very much an open question (not to mention whether the King of Pop will end up being buried there). But it appears a second Neverland Ranch might soon be built on an island off Shanghai as a tribute to the late pop star. Details from Reuters:
Investors in the project, which will cost about 100 million yuan ($15 million) to build, hope it will open on Chongming island ahead of next year's Expo in Shanghai, the China Daily newspaper reported.
While they are not as popular as the Taiwanese and Hong Kong stars who dominate the music scene in China, Western artists are making inroads in the local market, thanks to young fans.
"By building a Neverland here in China, we want to pay tribute to him and at the same time offer the Chinese people an outlet for expressing their love toward him," the report quoted Qiu Xuefan, one of the investors, as saying.
ENOUGH ALREADY!
I knew it! I knew it even before I was born. Truman screwed up, he should have packed extra A-bombs into Enola Gay and Bockscar and kept going onto China... if only to circumvent the future of this madness.
