Let's play "Who's the Craziest Jackson?" shall we? Got your guess ready? Wrong! It's not Michael, not LaToya, not even Tito (he was never really that crazy, but deserves a shout-out nonetheless)! It's Marlon (who?) Jackson that wins this award.
Somehow this obviously very confused man got involved in building a controversial (ya think?) theme park based on... SLAVERY! That's right! The plans are for an old slave port in Badagry, Nigeria. The "resort" will include a slavery museum and memorial (totally fine), along with a five star resort, casino, theme park, and a Jackson Five Museum.
Okay, how the hell did the Jackson five suddenly become relevant to the slave trade in Africa? I guess there could be a few parallels between slavery and growing up in that crazy ass family, but even so...
And while I love the shit out of some theme parks (annual pass holder at Disneyland), I can't really see myself having a good time riding on their life size slave ship replica or getting soaked on Uncle Tom's Log Cabin Ride... gross.

ps. two Jackson posts in a row! Badass...
