an odd 9/11 story you probably haven't heard before

I'm not sure how we got nearly 10 years away from 9/11 without hearing this story, but nevertheless it is out now. Apparently, Michael Jackson was in New York on 9/11 to do a show or two. He had Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando there as his guests. After the attack, the three of them got in a car to get away from New York, with Jackson and Brando taking turns driving. They got as far as Ohio, stopping at Burger King and KFC along the way.

Imagine you were a pimply teenager working the drive through at KFC and you had the three of them pull up in a car and order a bucket of extra crispy. How surreal would that be?

crazy Taiwanese animation of the event

The story is to be published in Vanity Fair some time soon (next week?), but I wouldn't be surprised to find out the following week it's all made up.

That animation is awesome. I'm sure there is definitive proof that Michael Jackson stopped in the streets to have a dance off with cheap imitators. And of course there was a monkey involved.
 
I've heard sketchy rumors that the Fox Network already has a pilot in the works for a series based on these events. I can only hope that the human trio and their monkey stop along their way westward to solve crimes and right wrongs.....
 
The timing is interesting, considering that the three people involved who could have denied the story have all passed by this point.

I'm betting the monkey stole a car and drove them across state.
 
Who's driving that car? Brando, Taylor, Jackson and three random kids(!) all get in the back seat, so who's driving? My money's on Kevin Bacon.

I thought by 2001 Jackson had pretty much called it quits when it came to performing in the states?

Don't destroy the dream! I want this story to have been true!

That part of it is true, at least. There were two concerts held at Madison Square Garden in September to commemorate Michael Jackson's 30 years as a solo act; the first was on the 7th and the second was the evening before the attack.
 
So, Michael Jackson, Liz Taylor and Marlon Brando are in a car together, and they pull up to a KFC . . .

I keep waiting for the punchline.

You'll have to keep waiting until the Priest and Rabbi show up.

Two of them order white-meat chicken, but the other orders dark meat covered in flour to as to appear white.

Badum-ksshh! :devil:
