The Thrilla In The Jungle

I forgot about my second favorite Michael Jackson Internet thing. It's a video of the Rumble In The Jungle where Michael's scary time-traveling ghost head appears in the celebrating crowd after the fight. He appears around 5:46 near the middle of the picture.

You can see a slow motion gif here.

Why would Michael be visiting Zaire in 1974 besides taking in the Ali-Foreman boxing match? My guess is he was visiting their large population of chimpanzees, given his affection for Bubbles. In fact, Zaire (now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo)is especially known for locals keeping chimps as pets.
