“Any resemblance between Dancing Zombie and persons living or dead is purely coincidental” — that’s not what the estate of Michael Jackson thinks and the King of Pop’s dearly departed demands PopCap to remove the back-up dancer summoning zombie out of Plants vs. Zom ies.

The undead version caricature of the King of Pop was in the game even before he has passed away; but with the resemblance was too close to the image of Michael Jackson in the music video of Thriller resulting to some complaints from the Estate.

“The Estate of Michael Jackson objected to our use of the ‘dancing zombie’ in Plants vs. Zombies based on its view that the zombie too closely resembled Michael Jackson. After receiving this objection, PopCap made a business decision to retire the original ‘dancing zombie.’” stated PopCap’s rep in a statement issued by MTV’s Multiplayer blog.

Dancing Zombie gets a makeover, and becomes groovier than his predecessor; Even the description changed for this revision in Dancing Zombie, “Dancing Zombie’s latest album, “GrarrBRAINSarblarbl,” is already rocketing up the undead charts.”
