Jackson removed from 'Plants Vs Zombies'

The Jackson estate has requested that a zombie in the puzzle game dressed as Jackson from 'Thriller' is to be removed from all versions of the title.
"The Estate of Michael Jackson objected to our use of the 'dancing zombie' in Plants Vs Zombies based on its view that the zombie too closely resembled Michael Jackson," a PopCap spokesperson told MTV Multiplayer.
"After receiving this objection, PopCap made a business decision to retire the original 'dancing zombie' and replace it with a different 'dancing zombie' character for future builds of Plants Vs Zombies on all platforms. The phase-out and replacement process is under way."
The zombie has already been replaced in the iPhone game, with changes to other versions coming soon.
Plants Vs Zombies was first released a month before Jackson's death.
