As you may have noticed, Muammar Gaddafi has been in the news lately. A lot. And every time he shows up in public he’s wearing another outrageous outfit.
Who does this guy remind us of, we wondered to ourselves. Who? And then it hit us.
Michael Jackson.
Yes, the Dictator of Libya dresses just like the King of Pop. To put it another way, Colonel Gaddafi is Captain Eo. On top of that, they both have the same general build, the same stringy black hair, and somewhere in the middle of Michael’s color change, they had the same complexion. But what’s crazy is that they have the same sense of fashion. If that’s what it can be called.
So take our little test. Here are twelve photos – some of Muammar, some of Michael. We’ve blurred the faces and any other details that would give you a clue as to which is which.
See how many you can correctly identify based on their choice of clothing.
Photo #1: Is it Muammar or Michael?

num 11 wasnt a trick? You sure that wasn't michelle obama with a different face photoshopped on?
I got them all right. It wasn't that difficult especially as one looks to the background. With that said I made a comment on another thread on that same score that in passing one can definetly see MJ likeness to Qaddafi. If Michael had let himself go who knows?
I got number 8 wrong and could not pick for sure about 12. The backgrounds in those two were very tent-like. Nuber 11 though, izzat everybody's favorite Hose Knee the Egyptian walking with Moammar? Looks like him. What a bunch of kooky guys!
That's way too easy...Muammar has much better taste. Or is it that he just tastes better.
LOLFRNJST!
(That's "LOL for real, not just saying that)
Great post Andre. Muammar Qaddafi = chicken, Michael Jackson = egg; so which came first? They're both barnyard foul (intentional misspelling).
Maybe Michael Jackson really was brilliant? It can be easily argued that he DID preemptively send Muammar a very important message:
"They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it
You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad"
So... Beat it! Beat it!
Yep, Mo needs to beat it.
You made my day.
Outstanding, Andre.
