Plants vs. Zombies - zombie to be replaced

[Tarlin]

This is just silly, and apparently noone agrees either.

What's it about? It's about our ever popular Dancing Zombie. Apparently someone from Michael Jackson's family though the zombie resembles MJ too much. In fact, it actually does resemble him quite a lot.

The bad news about this all is that PopCap have agreed to remove this zombie from the game and replace it with something else. Personally I think the new one looks horrible, but meh.

To stop this, you are all recommended to not update the game anymore. Who needs updates anyway, the game's good as it is, and hasn't been updated for a year already.

I don't know how the new one looks (dont have the game) but the old one is clearly modelled on Michael Jackson:

Free bit of advertising for the game eh - bet they're not moaning

You mean there are still people who don't have it yet?

Silly you. Go buy it before the zombie is replaced.

Lovely, Steam ignored my 'do not update' option, probably because the game has been relabeled to a GOTY edition. How clever...

Oh well, seems we're getting extra features!

Yup, I've lost the old zombie.

On the bright side, I now have my very own Zombatar:
