The auction of the century

In case you didn't know, Michael Jackson has been auctioning off the contents of his Neverland Ranch. I had just about reconciled myself to the fact that I was going to miss out on the sale of the millennium, until I saw this painting:


I can only describe the above as perhaps one of the finest works of art ever to grace human eyes. I am reconciled no more. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, the Mona Lisa, Michael Jackson and E.T. What on earth do these six figures have in common? Are they MJ's main sources of inspiration? Is he still planning an extra-terrestrial sci-fi thriller concept album, where space time curvature combines with beautiful art and good government to save the world? Is Michael trying to suggest through some frankly crass imagery that, in direct opposition to the linear passing of time, all of these figures were actually inspired by him? Maybe that they share some kind of creative, righteous, heroic and alien heritage? Or is this based on the hitherto undiscovered historic fact that all of them had a secret penchant for sunglasses and gloves? I'm not sure we'll ever know, but like all good art this asks the difficult questions.

On a side note, we all know that everyone's favorite accused pederast is innocent, yesterday, today and forever. But seriously Michael, sometimes you REALLY. DON'T. HELP. YOURSELF. FC
