Ukrainians want village named after Michael Jackson [ 2009-07-02 13:34 ]
烏克蘭一個村莊希望能夠將村名改為“杰克遜”，以此讓邁克爾?杰克遜的大名永垂青史。該地一名議員稱，這個村里很多村民都是杰克遜的粉絲，他們還想建一個杰克遜博物館收藏天王的專輯，并希望借此吸引游客，讓這個本以頹敗的村莊重獲生機。據悉，村議會將在8月份討論這一更名計劃。

Residents of a Ukrainian village want to rename it after the late pop superstar Michael Jackson, a lawmaker who represents the village told AFP on Wednesday.
Oleg Kislitsyn, a deputy in the regional parliament, said villagers in Oktyabrskoye, located in the Zaporizhia region in the country's southeast, had approached him with a proposal to rename the village "Jackson".
"There are many fans of Michael Jackson there. They want to immortalize him," said Kislitsyn, adding that he was in favour of the proposal.
"They want to create a house-museum and collect his records there. This is a depressed region, all the factories are closed. They hope this will attract tourists," he added.
Kislitsyn's advisers went to meet with villagers on Wednesday to discuss the proposal. The village's municipal council is to consider the plan in August.
When asked what links existed between Oktyabrskoye and Jackson -- whose death in Los Angeles last week prompted a worldwide outpouring of grief -- Kislitsyn said the world was in the process of "globalization."
He added: "I am not a fan but I respect his work. He had an iron-clad will for victory."
