Hasta La Ideas

While this writer couldn’t (and still can’t) wrap his head around all this Michael Jackson hubbub surrounding the singer’s death, that isn’t to say we object to you feeling any sort of genuine emotions toward the man and his passing. We just have a little trouble separating the person from the music (Phil Spector and Ike Turner were great musicians, too, is all we’re saying). But if you aren’t the grumpy jerk this writer is and you’ve got the itch to memorialize Jackson, Bustler and Archinect have teamed up with just the thing. They’ve launched Live Forever: The Michael Jackson Monument Design Competition, which asks readers to submit some kind, any kind, of design to honor the King of Pop. Will your monument be built? We’re guessing that’s not very likely, as we’re sure the contracts on an official one will be fought over for the next decade or two. Though maybe we’ll see it appear in some sort of miniature form. And hey, there are prizes to be announced soon, so there’s your extra incentive right there. We’re eager to see how it all turns out and what people come up with. You have until August 22nd, when the submission window closes for good.
