Wacko celebrities with oodles of cash can create real havoc in the world. Case in point: Micheal Jackson has his heart set on building a 50 foot robot resembling himself that he will equip with lasers and allow to roam through the desert.
Implications - This insane robotic giant will be a symbol of the king of pop's Las Vegas shows that are currently in planning. If this massive machine actually makes it past the drawing boards, it will be visible from planes landing in the Vegas. Seeing a larger-than-life Michael Jackson Godzilla might frighten a few people, but it will more than likely become another part of the desert destination that people will look forward to seeing.
