To all fans who truly love MJ, we issue a call:

July 12th 17:00-17:01, within this minute, all fans use their own action to complete MJ’s unfinished dance. 17:00 sharp, the music will begin and during this time, no matter if you where you are, please stop where you’re going, come together, and in accordance with the pre-arranged action sequence, display MJ’s classic poses…and finally, we will end this action with the moonwalk. MJ spent his life to give us uncountable legends, so let us walk together, and let the legends continue!

The detailed dance moves will be publicly announced shortly, refer to the “This is it, not the end” MJ memorial video created by Wooyeah, please stay tuned.

Why only one minute?
In one minute, you probably couldn’t finish an ice cream.
It may not be longer than the time it takes to wash your face.
You may not even have finished hearing the intro for a song.
But within the span of one minute,
Madison was born,
Shenzhou 7 blasted off,
Liu Xiang completed his hurdles dream.
It is because classics are brief that they are precious, the brief everlasting.
If you are a fan of MJ, you will always remember this minute.
There are uncountable minutes in a person’s life, but we only have one MJ.

Are there requirements for dress?

Dress as you wish, as you would on any day that you have thought of MJ, express yourself and not deliberately.

What if it rains?

Continue as usual, unless it rains @@@@@@!

Special Reminder:

  • One minute is short, be sure to arrive five minutes before.
  • Cherish life, safety first.

      They’re making a point about good things being brief and using examples to illustrate while talking to a Chinese audience. Were you expecting them to cite great moments from the west?

        Notice how whenever the criticise anything remotely to do with China you are accused of ‘China bashing’.

        I was not bashing China I was bashing warp minded nationalism. The exact kind of nationalism you have here displayed!

    Cute

    Fauna, where I come from (Korea) most men believe that Chinese women are all impoverished money-grabbing whores who smell like fish sauce but in fact you’ve got an undeniable charm that isn’t so easily critiqued. I feel this way about you but all things considered, you’re a ditz, you don’t have the guts to look at subjects that *MIGHT* upset the Communist bandits. You sit at your second hand laptop talking about some singing pedofile when the Hajjis are tearing your country apart, you know enough English to understand the concept of “playing the fiddle while Rome burns” don’t you?

    If you ever want to throw off the shackles of Communist oppression, I’ve got a two bedroom apartment going to waste, a nice job (Senior Maritime Engineer @ Daewoo Shipbuilding) and a party sized cock that would put your average Laowai to shame.

        I’m 6’0″ in your privative measurements (173cm in realtalk), my cock is relatively proportional. If the average Chinese girl had the choice between a relatively good looking, tall Korean guy with a pretty big dick (me) and a slightly shorter Laowai with a relatively similar and a disgustingly hairy back (you), who would she pick? BTW my English skills and income are basically identical (I’ve worked at it), I have all of your desirable characteristics without your hairy back, I am the Alpha male, suck my cock!~!!!1

    If you think hitting on someone via blogpost is so weird, you are a homosexual. I seed Fauna’s picture in some Beijing magazine, city weekend or some shit where they profile bloggers when they maked me work in Tianjin shipyard (boring shithole) and she was a hot piece of ass for sure. If you not want to procreate with Fauna then you are a homosexual, I understand because China not have enough woman, tens of millions will need to becoem homosexual to ensure social stability! You are only doing your part for the motherland!

    God!

    Not another wannabe “alpha male.” Let me guess, you read too many websites about how to become a PUA and you finally think you have figured it all out.

    You are shame to the alpha male name. Let me see, you saw a “beautiful” girls picture and decided that she was automatically defensive. Cause in your mind, girls need to be insulted in order to get hot. SO, you used the C+F (cocky/funny) method in order to break her sheild and let her fall in love with you? Right?

    First, you never met her. SO, trying C+F without meeting a chick is stupid, because you don’t what type of girl she is. Not only that, but saying things like, “I thought all chinese girls were impoverished money grabbing whores” comes off as a weak attempt at reverse psychology and it’s too strong.

    Second, you lack the one thing every “alpha male” has. That is confidence. Girls don’t like guy that are too nice, but they also don’t like insecure assholes. Both types lack true confidence. You see, if you are confident, you don’t need to insult others in order to make yourself feel good. Even scarier is the fact that you need to measure your “party sized” cock and talk about your job stats in order to get a girl (whom you never met) to like you. It ALL smells of sad desperation.

    Girls want a man that is confident, charming and natural. Not someone that reads things like, “DJ or PUA bible” but never put them into practice. Unlike you, I don’t need to (sadly) measure my penis, post it’s measurements, post my job stats and talk about how great I am. You see, if im really great. Then, those things speak for themselves. I don’t need to talk about them or show off, cause I know they are good. Simple, confidence.

    Seriously, you come off as a creepy stalker and not someone with PUA skill. Then, you get defensive and jump to insulting others in order to save your pride.

    But, you know what really ends this whole arguement. I have a nice quality girl sitting next to me. She looks damned good. She is actually a magazine model and dancer. While, your trying to chase one over the internet.

    Good luck with your quest. Im sure your insecure confidence, party sized cock and job will make her marry you tomorrow.

    Fuana, I think hes the man of your dreams. (eye roll)

    Lol, it’s kind of funny but Koreans are like the lowest class of asians. Apparently they have the smallest dicks, even smaller than indians. They also can’t afford to buy meat in Korea so they only buy vegetables. They like to boast about how good they are when most of them earn 500 usd a month if they are good. They think they are rich if they drive a small hyundai, which the rest of the world thinks is a small pos car. They drink Soju rather than fine wines since Soju is cheaper (pure alcohol diluted with mineral water) and they have no natural good looking women in their country without plastic surgery.

    Korea also has no culture since its all derived from Japan and Japan stole half their culture from China. So China > Japan > Korea.

    They claim they have nice food but all it is either dog or some kimchi based product. Seoul is so far behind Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai that its not funny.

    So i think Pusan needs to get off his ego trip and start looking at himself in the mirror. What he’ll probably see is some loser with a flat nose, mongoloid eyelid and flat face. Get your parents to buy you plastic surgery, you’ll feel better.

      Well, I’ve spent considerable (read: too much) time around people from a lot of different Asian countries… and I couldn’t disagree more.

      In my experience, (although Pusan Playa doesn’t seem to be a particularly refined individual) the Koreans are a far friendlier, far more polite and far less selfish nationality than the Chinese. Though a lot can be blamed on the Chinese GOVERNment, unfortunately whether or not you care about the people around you can’t be attributed solely to them.
      And let me be clear… the Chinese really don’t give a s**t about the people around them. Even their own countrymen. And THEN they have the gonads to bollock on about how China is one country, and the motherland and blah blah blah blah blah.

      Let me put my belief forward. When a Chinese person refers to China (or the Motherland) they are infact referring to themselves. As in if Mr Zhang says he loves ‘the motherland’, he actually means ‘I love myself’…. if Mrs. Song says she will do what is best for China… she actually means she will do what is best for herself.

      So there we have it… there are infact 1.3 billion Chinas.

      Think about it. It makes a lot of sense.

      And one more thing…. Dok Do is most definately Korean. As is the title of best Asian people ever.

      One more thing: if “Seoul is so far behind Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai” please explain to me why Koreans can:

      1) Use facebook, youtube, twitter etc. etc.
      2) Read/watch the REAL news
      3) Travel without needing at least a million documents
      4) Buy international products in their shops
      5) Drink melamine-free milk!
      6) Manage to get through the day without lying/spying/hacking/embezzling/cheating/stealing/committing genocide
      7) Vote
      8) Be respected internationally
      9) Deal with problems without slaughtering people
      10) Have characters on ‘Lost’.
      11) Be critiscised without [stupidly] claiming it insults or interferes with ‘the Motherland’.
      12) think for themselves

      (I could honestly go on for hours… but I’ll stop at 12)

      Just curious…..

        So your way of justifying that Korea is superior to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Shanghai is by listing whatever problems that the other country has? How pathetic… some of your points don’t even make sense. Are you just a Korean troll that wants to defend your ‘mother land’? I wouldn’t be suprised by the way that your posts sound.

        1.) How does the fact that internet users can use facebook or youtube make a city better? Koreans use Daum and Nateon instead of facebook and youtube in any case.

        2.) Korean news and propaganda and news is as bad as China.

        4.) Are you saying that you can’t buy international products in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Mainland China?

        5.) Do you seriously think that melamine milk from a faulty manufacturer somehow determines Korean superiority?

        6.) Most of the Koreans i know are compulsive liars and players. South Korea doesn’t have the potential to spy, hack or embezzle, they are too far behind in both technological and military development:D

        7.) Yeah sure

        8.) As far as I know, they are one of the most disrespected of all Asian races. Japanese think Koreans are their bitches. Chinese think Koreans are generations behind and the rest of the world don’t really care.

        9.) Are you joking? Korean war? Criminal justice system?

        10.) Hahahahaha, the ugly guy in the flopped dragon ball movie is Korean too no? You somehow forgot that Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li are all Chinese?

        11.) Yeah Koreans are just told they are the best race in the world but they can’t back it up. They are the most trivial country, no one pays attention, nobody cares, South Korea gets no global attention.

        Come on, lets get the real facts:

        1.) Koreans look down on other non-koreans because they are korean.

        2.) On the rare occasion a Korean immigrant converses with someone of a different ethnicity, they’ll go on and on about how great their home country is, despite having jumped at the chance to move to the nation they currently live in.

        3.) Koreans are the ugliest of all the main Asian races, excluding Burma, Indonesia, etc.

        Koreans are simply put the most hypocritical race in the world. They are like a country that has nothing to show and everything to boast.

        a.) No one really wants to visit Korea

        b.) Seoul is a $h-it hole of a city which is old and disgusting

        c.) Korea’s national sport is Starcraft

          I’m not Korean. I’m British and I’ve lived in both countries.

          And I don’t refer to my country as a ‘motherland’ because it’s a stupid thing to say. How can LAND be your MOTHER?

          I think you’ll find that from your list:
          Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li

          …most of them hold passports from other countries.
          What does that say?

            Confuscious must have been korean, obama probably has korean blood, monkey magic is korean right? arent koreans the best race? Seoul is so good right? Koreans are the best in the world, etc.. Thats the problem with Koreans, all talk but nothing to back it up.

    This MJ tribute crowd thing has already been done in European cities. Also, a huge crowd of people were dancing MJ style – it looked great and the atmosphere seemed fun. In Shanghai, it’s four or five guys ‘dancing’ and 1000 people filming it on their mobile phones.

    That’s Shanghai – better life, better city….
