    For those who might not know, moonwalking actually has a bit of a purpose in the game.
    In the final set of stages (Mr.Big's hideout) there are a lot of conveyor belts that slow you down when you walk on them, but if you moonwalk on them you can go trough them faster.

    My guess is that they never got the license from Rod Pemberton to use "Thriller," not realizing that Jackson didn't write it, and thought it was a better use of their money to program in a different Jackson song than to pay the license when Pemberton sent them a cease and desist.

And that it is! 5 million views!! Congratulations!! My favorite episode is the Batman episodes 52 and 53, witch second one is about to reach the same 5 million views (4,989,222 now).

      Cinemassacre Hey if I support you guys directly, does Google get half of that like they do with the advertising. I think with the new rules I'll just send a few dollars a month to the couple content creators I enjoy and hopefully the advertising thing wont kill them. I know you guys have never had the in video ads, but I can only imagine how their greed effects you too.

    I am surprised that they included the crotch grab. Even Michael hated that. No, seriously.

      +david the nerd that's crap to believe the dr killed him... he was an addict....he just kept wanting more...the dr has to share some of the guilt but its not him 100%..... when I saw him on the news he seemed like was a pushover....im sure whatever Micheal wanted he got..... if McMurray said no MJ would find someone else...and you know how that goes with superstars....there was probably a waiting list of doctors waiting to "treat" him..... it is sad what happened but MJ lived a rough life.... he got famous to young and his father was a bastard.... though that's not always the case.... some addicts live great lives..... addiction does not discriminate....anybody can be a victim of it..... but to blame Dr McMurray that is not fair....its what MJ wanted....
