Michael Jackson, Automotive Designer
I know, Michael Jackson has done some terrible things. Tax evasion. Absconding with the Beatles catalog. Child molestation. We Are the World. But this — is design even the word for it? — this interior renovation of a stretch Rolls Royce (what kind of nitwit stretches a Rolls Royce?) may be his worst crime. Note how the floor mats don’t even fit. Egads. A Russian mobster from Brighton Beach wouldn’t even get in the thing. “Ees beet tyoo much, nyet?” You can have it, however, for somewhere in the vicinity of $140K. Also, I’m pretty sure Jacques-Louis David would not be happy about this.
