Stockton Residents Gather to Witness Image of Michael Jackson on a Tree Stump

Apparently, the image of Michael Jackson appeared on a Stockton tree stump, pictured at right, the day the pop icon passed away, and crowds have begun to gather ever since. Owner of the tree stump, Felix Garcia, has lived on the property for 22 years and had never seen MJ's image until now. Jackson once visited Stockton twenty years ago to comfort the community after a school shooting. "To Stockton, Michael Jackson meant more to us than Jesus... I think they're both about even," said one resident. Personally, we think the image looks more like Gene Simmons in full KISS make-up. [Via D-Listed, the Awl, CBS13]

What's Going On Here, Supreme Master Ching Hai?

Oh look! Another ad from Supreme Master TV, one that will, hopefully, bring you nobility and spirituality. And this one is in massive billboard form, found above Harrison between Fourth and Third streets.

As the preternaturally calm Brandon Wong rose this morning to take in the sunrise over by Anza in the Richmond, he saw something in the east that didn't make sense.

"It's just bizarre," he wrote, "I thought it was a volcano."

Friend of SFist Daniel alerted us to this odd occurrence on a couple of websites yesterday, including Pirate Cat Radio and some "geeky, guy gadget" site, of which he couldn't remember the name. Neither site is the type to support such a bigoted proposition, but upon perusing Pirate Cat's site last night, the ad was still showing up at the bottom of their Listen page.

Please advise.
