 Michael Jackson's Brother Launches Controversial Entertainment Venue Published: Feb 17, 09 Views: 2,069 In an apparent attempt to be weirder than his brother, Marlon Jackson has announced plans for a slavery theme park. Oh. That sound you heard was the collective squealing of delight from children all over the world. The brother of Michael and former Jackson Five member has big plans for the proposed luxury resort in Nigeria; it will have casinos, golf courses, and a Jackson Five Museum, complete with holograms and animatronic displays. And then there’s the giant slave ship.  "It is not appropriate from a cultural or historical point of view," Nigerian historian Toyin Falola told the BBC. "Moneymaking and historical memory are allies in the extension of capitalism. You cry with one eye and wipe it off with a cold beer, leaving the other eye open for gambling."
