Michael Jackson scares me.
And not just in a ‘general displeasure with the excesses of celebrity and plastic surgery’ kinda way.
But in an ‘I can't stand to look at photos of him’ way.
He has managed to do all the right things to make his facial features inherently disturbing, in the same way that horror film directors design their villains with all-black eyeballs or grotesquely distorted features. The face being such an important visual reference that any kind of distortion instinctively puts a viewer on edge.
Unless of course they are post-its on his face – stuck there to remind him which bits are awful.

"Sometimes on a day off I go to the Krispy Kreme doughnut shop. When we play at home, I go there after the game and it's like a doughnut party! Everyone is eating doughnuts inside their cars - it's like a disco!"
