Michael Jackson fans have come up with a novel form of memorabilia to mark the singer's acquittal on child abuse charges - toast with his face on it.

Slices of toast with the star's likeness and slogans such as "not guilty" have appeared on internet auction site eBay.

Vendors claimed the slices were not faked - but popped out of their toasters before or during the verdicts.

Toast said to look like the Virgin Mary sold for $28,000 (£15,400) last year.

That appears to have sparked a craze for novelty toast on eBay.

Virgin Mary on toast Toast said to resemble the Virgin Mary hit the headlines in November Slices currently on sale carry pictures of people ranging from Elvis Presley to Yoda, with a sideline in toast depicting jars of air breathed by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

One Michael Jackson fan promised: "This is a wonderful memento of this historic day that you will cherish for years to come."

Another said: "As I was watched the jury's verdict being announced on June 13, 2005, my toast popped up just as Michael was acquitted."

One vendor said a slice with "not guilty" written on it popped up just before the verdicts.

"I was shocked, so I saved it and waited, and then today at 4.30pm my time it came on the news, and there it was - Michael Jackson is found not guilty," they wrote.

He IS toast!

[martin_fierro]

Milquetoast.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Fake. Everyone knows that Jackson's face would have first appeared on white bread.

[Frank_Discussion]

It's the brownest he's been in a long, long time...

[Armigerous]

The meaning is clear. Jackson's career is toast

[general_re]

I'm advising all my clients to get out of tulip bulbs and go long on novelty toast.

[texas_mrs]

I had a slice that popped up saying "Close Gitmo"!

[dfwgator]

The only one whose career is toast is Sneddon's.

Makes sense. Everyone knows that toast doesn't lie.

[stylecouncilor]

This would go great with "nutty butter"!

Now, if his face appears on an Atkins bar...

[Betaille]

[Hand em their arse]

[LIConFem]

Great. Now I won't be able to look at an Atkins bar without thinking of MJ. :(

[biblewonk]

Jackson: The slaver or the child molester?

[Hand em their arse]

"Did you hear the one about Michaels Jackson's toaster?"

"The bread goes in brown and comes out white..."



Did you hear the one about the bulemic bachelor party?

Very funny thread today. Who needs therapy?

My daughter said you can burn toast and scrape it with a toothpick or sharp knife to make a nice image.

Ought to develop a new art form: toast art. Then kids could finance their college educations with one good slice.

I might try selling New York Air in a jar or something, too. I couls offer it with a genuine 1970's Pet Rock collection.

[Horatio Gates]

Unnnghhh! LOL!

Thats the technique (scraping) I use on Halloween jack o lanterns. Maybe I should do a Michael Jackson-o-lantern and sell it on eBay.

[CO Gal]

Better toast then boys BVD's.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I have a George Foreman, "Face in the Toast Grilla". I can grill Madonna, Virgin Mary, Michael Jackson and any of a thousand others.

[popdonnelly]

That makes him the second virgin to appear on a piece of toast.

[Rebelbase]

[Conspiracy Guy]

You bought the cheap imitation George Foreman, "Face in the Toast Grilla".

[reagan_fanatic]

Wouldn't Michael Jackson be more comfortable with a nice set of hot cross buns instead?

[Horatio Gates]

Now that you mention it, it is...again. 8>)
