Ebony: What Michael Jackson May Look Like In The Year 2000? [Throwback Scan]

advertisement

The year is 1985. Pepsi has begun to find their groove, Thriller is still blowing up the charts and little Michael is still black.

Ebony Magazine, with the foresight of a lemming, has decided to project what the figures of the era will look like when cars fly (presumably, the year 2000). The only problem: They chose the wrong mother@!$%#er to hypothesize about. You can see their projection of MJ above.

Ahem.

Wrong.

Wrong.(4:25)

So wrong.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Can you imagine if Michael looked like that in 2000?

Can barely wrap my head around it.

He looks like Lando Calrissian in the photo.

Wow. They were off by only A LOT, lol. They kind of have him working the Billy Dee Williams look though. Not sure how I feel about that.
