The King of Pop Shop

It is no coincidence that Michael Jackson constantly makes the Reuters Oddly Enough news.

Employees at a Wal-Mart store in western Colorado became concerned when they spotted a shopper with a ski mask covering his face — only to find out later it was the self-proclaimed “King of Pop” shopping incognito, police say.

Michael Jackson in the ski mask was also accompanied by his driver who was wearing sunglasses and had a hat pulled down low while the two were shopping.

Store employees called police late Tuesday afternoon about the “masked man” and his companion. Police stopped the Jackson vehicle a few blocks away and when an officer asked the men for identification the ski mask came off.

If Michael wants to remain incognito, a ski mask is probably not a wise choice. Especially in a shop. It kind of screams “bank robbery.” My advise would be for him to go as himself. People would see him and think “another lame Michael Jackson impersonator.”
