Behold the Jacko phone in all its glory. It's got more gold trim than a gangster's fantasy, more sass than a night out on the razz with Jay Lo, it's a thriller, it's dangerous, it's ... truth is, whether you wanna get on the floor or off the wall, this is the Michael Jackson phone you Billy Jean's have been wait for ... Sorry ... I can't help it.

We covered the first ever shanzhai Micheal Jackson phone back in July of this year; a rather bland and inoffensive design that lacked the glam and glitz that a Jacko product really demands. In fact I'm reliably informed that there were several designs floating around within weeks of The King passing. We've spotted the real deal here however. It might not be an official product, i.e. certified by the Jackson foundation, but it sure as hell looks the part.

While there is no word on pricing just yet, we can tell you that it comes packaged with a Jackson live performance DVD, supports the finest quality plastic diamonds money can buy and has more Jackson ringtones than any right-minded human should ever need. Oh and the whole package is very exclusive with a limited quantity in existence.

And who is supposed to be the brand behind this lie, who is the creator.
