That's one of the King of Pop's biggest fans. He owns a soccer team, and wants to put up a statue of Jacko outside the stadium. Soccer supporters are not thrilled about it. Main objection: it's Michael Jackson. The owner says: stuff it.

You read him correctly: people will form lines to take a trip to the statue. They won't just line up outside the stadium. They will queue in far-off villages, clutching their tickets in their calloused hands, waiting for the train to come, hoping that their first look at the fabled statue is as magical as people say.
