Keep in mind that the complaint is there because of Michael Jackson being dead, which makes the zombie's presence both hilarious and a little bit tasteless.
Michael Jackson Estate Forces Removal of Plant-Eating Zombie

Not really THAT surprising, is it? I mean, its the Jackson Estate, after all - Jackson was at least quite layed back about this sort of thing...accept when he was singing for people to "Leave him alone"... But if the Jackson Estate involves any of the people he had around "Advising" him in life, the phrase "Money grubbing soul-less invertebratess" doesn't quite corner it. And bear in mind I never really liked the man himself!Susan Arendt said:
In other news. Early this week a zombie interest group objected to Jackson's continued acts of child molestation.
"Yeah, we eat people," said one Zombie between bites of a dubiously pink salad "but touching kids? That's just making us look bad."

I like my PvZ the way it is. Just to be safe I turned off the auto-update feature on my Steam copy of the game.
and they can't retcon him out it either, it's too old 
I guess I get why they asked for the change, but it seems like they're overreacting a bit. No one was trying to offend anyone. It was more of a homage
Wait. Michael Jackson died ? When ? I must have missed it. I dont think there was nearly enough coverage of it.
To me it seems more of a tribute then an insult to him. Granted the game was released before he died but if it was really that much of an insult to them, they would have taken care of it a long time ago.
I really liked that zombie. Funny and tough to fight if you let him stick around. Hopefully, the Game of the Year Edition will be easily modified. A little image switching ought to do the trick. =) Or maybe the Zombatar will have certain clothes you can switch. Although, I do like the way that disco zombie looks.
A fun fact: the files for the Zombie Dancer were named "Zombie_Jackson". =D Just for fun, here's a little animated GIF of the zombie doing the moonwalk: http://i47.tinypic.com/ztzz3o.gif [196 KB]

You see, now everyone in the world will get behind this because Michael Jackson is the greatest most pure thing in this world right now. Its almost like everyone forgot about his little pedo problem. I wish there was a song for this.

PopCap aren't insulting the death of Michael Jackson, it's parodying 'Thriller' so I think the received offence is unnecessary. Although if they feel offended by the depiction of a departed loved one then it's within their right to have the depiction removed.

Seriously. I must know!

Well, at least I still have the ice-ring-cleaner riding zombie!
