Farmer uses Michael Jackson scarecrows
A Taiwanese farmer has created two Michael Jackson scarecrows in a bid to protect his rice harvest.
Jackson fan Lee Ping-hsing, 30, dressed one wooden frame in a sequined glove, black fedora and brogues and the other in red 'Thriller' jacket and trousers, Reuters reports. Both have been set in classic Jackson dance poses.
Lee said: "During harvest, my dad would go to the fields every day and chase the birds away. And I thought, since Michael is good at 'grabbing his bird', I'm inviting him to grab ours.
"I was yelled at by my grandfather, who said Jackson's spirit could come and haunt us, but I think it would be nice if Michael could come over."
Lee revealed that he will now make a third Jackson scarecrow for his father's farm in Changhua county, central Taiwan.
Earlier this year, plans were revealed to launch fully-articulated Michael Jackson action figures in time for 2010 Christmas sales.
