So, I've been staring at this for a few days. Without giving too much away right away, I'll ask this question:
What do the following things have in common...
1) LaToya Jackson (Michael's sister)
2) Teddie Riley (Michael's friend and record producer)
3) Michael Jackson and Bubbles - The Untold Story (the show where LaToya visits Bubbles and cries)
4) Jeffre' Phillips (exec in Sony in the 80's)
6) Leonard Rowe (Jackson Family spokesperson)
7) CBG (Celebrity Branding Group) (I swear the background music on their website is one of Michael's songs...)
Okay - what do these things have in common BESIDES Michael - LOL...
Ja-Tail (which means "Just Another Timely Adventure in Life) Enterprises.

My first impressions?
The Ja-Tail logo looks surprisingly similar to the Jackson Family Foundation crest!
Also, the acronym, Ja-Tial..."Just Another Timely Adventure In Life"....why does this sound eerily similar to Michael's speech at the end of TII?....a speech, btw, that seemed just as much, if not more so, directed to the audience of the film as much as the crew in front of him that night.
And yes, Teddy Riley, LaToya, Leonard Rowe....all interconnected to Michael and other parts of the Hoax....

BUT....the most interesting thing I noticed was on the "Films" page....there is a photo of a movie set next to the name of the film, "Groupies" which is "Coming Soon"....in this picture is the profile of a man kneeling down on one knee....a man who looks like a director...with dark hair...in a red shirt....WHAT?
For some reason, I wasn't able to copy/paste the actual picture, but here is the link to that page specifically for your perusal:

Is it just me or does this HAVE MICHAEL JACKSON/ BEHIND THE SCENES WRITTEN ALL OVER IT?
Shoot, the only thing missing is a THEME PARK!!!!
[youtube:3re3tq7j]
I think this is the person who designed the logo for this site...
The person in the red shirt is a lady.
The stage looks a lot like Michael on it.
The company is run by Latoya, Jeffre Phillips and Ron (who helps Disney etc market their stuff).
La Toya Jackson
Ms. Jackson is a multi-faceted entertainer and businesswomen. She’s best known to the world as a singer, Grammy Award-nominated songwriter, best-selling author, a world television personality and actress. La Toya was born into America’s Royal Family of Music, the Jackson’s. As one of the younger children, she was exposed to music, and the business of music, all of her life. La Toya made her debut at the early age of 16 at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, tap dancing and singing with her brothers, The Jackson 5. Having come from such an extraordinarily talented family La Toya decided to make show business a part of her life and has extensively, and continuously, traveled the world performing in more than 90 countries.
La Toya has always been a businesswoman at heart. She noticed that Fortune 500 companies would use celebrity names and images, to grow and brand their products, and their company, while paying the celebrities only a small fee for their services, with no back-end participation. Meanwhile these celebrities’ names and images would make these companies hundreds of millions of dollars. After growing up, knowing, and working with such legends as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bob Hope, Andy Williams and Julio Iglesias, just to name just a few, and watching history repeat itself with today’s hottest young celebrities, La Toya could no longer sit back and watch this continue to happen. Being the aggressive businesswoman that she is, she wanted to created a business where entertainers could use their own names and images to brand their own products, and make their own hundreds of millions of dollars. Her unique business acumen and her desire for perfection fortify CBG’s competitive edge and enhance the value of the company.
Exactly!!! I'm glad that I am not going crazy - thanks <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> Also - the above part is from LaToya's bio (she's a co-founder, by the way. Anyone else find it strange for her to be co-founder in all of this?). The red sounds eerily like Michael. Right?
Awesome - this gives a closer shot to which I couldn't get. To me, the Tiger on the right is the Lion in disguise? Please tell me I'm not crazy...
So, if Michael has nothing to do with this then they would have had to gain approval to use the music, right? Also notice that the website was created this year. Wow - they have been such a busy family...this had to be in the planning stages before June of last year.
Yes, it does. Ha - maybe the theme park is next...
Something about that TV show with LaToya and Bubbles...it says this:

I came across this twitter account for LaToya. Interesting that she doesn't have the "Michael like" animals and design like she does for the Ja-Tail.
