First the Jackson statue... now the merchandise! Fulham fans baffled

first it was the baffling statue.
Now Fulham chairman Mohammed Al-Fayed's obsession with Michael Jackson has gone one step further with the release of a range of official Jacko merchandise – complete with the singer's trademark hat drooped over the team's crest.
Fans can now pick up mugs, key-rings and umbrellas commemorating the star and his single visit to Craven Cottage in the 1990s, which inspired Mr Al-Fayed to erect the commemorative statue outside Craven Cottage last season.
The statue continues to baffle many fans but they are taking the latest mad-cap idea with a pinch of salt.
Editor of Fulham fanzine There’s Only One F In Fulham, David Lloyd, said: “I don’t like the statue but before Al-Fayed arrived I remember lobbing five pence pieces into the bucket when we were in dire straits.
“It’s not worth getting our knickers in a twist about it though, there are far more important things like the fact we are in the Europa League. Just as long as we don’t get a Donny Osmond statue!”
According to the club, the merchandise had gone down well, with the new Jackson T-shirts – which are available in Black or White – selling particularly well.
"We have received positive feedback from many people both neutral and Fulham fans", a spokeswoman said.

So Michael is connected to Mohammed who is connected to Dodi who is connected to Princess Diana who is also connected to Michael. I am not sure how all of this ties into this merchandise and the statue but I think perhaps Mohammed is helping Michael in some type of way. He would have a motive to do so after all.
[glow=red:1cnh4v87]@looking4truth[/glow:1cnh4v87], I thought the same thing. A dual-purpose article! Funny as all-get-out, and, it SHOULD get people wondering about things. Also, it brings to light the Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed tragedy. Mohammed Al Fayed is ANGRY and he is a REBEL. Sounds like SOMEONE we know? <!-- spenguin/ -->penguin/<!-- spenguin/ -->

YEP YEP!! Gotta love it - the pieces are coming together little by little. I wonder if Michael will BAM at that stadium? I know it's unlikely but one can't rule it out completely.
Blessings!
