Michael Jackson - the village.

Michael Jackson ... at peace with zombies now.

	> Michael Jackson keeps it low-key for the big five-o

A village in eastern Ukraine has proposed a fitting tribute to Michael Jackson, hoping to rename itself after the late King of Pop.

Jackson died of general weirdness on June 26 at the age of 50, leaving a legacy of pop hits, plastic surgery, lonely chimpanzees and dodgy relatives.

But he's also inspired weird excellence in the form of Philippine inmate routines to his hits and Hollywood celebs making fools of themselves by attempting to moonwalk in his honour.

Now the villagers of Oktyabrskoye are, unsurprisingly, keen to change their name to something more Jackson-worthy and spellable.

MichaelJacksontownsville? New Jackson City?

And they're not wasting any time, having discussed it at a local government level already and preparing to vote on the proposal any day now.
