Austrians thrown by Jackson medal
BBC
It is surely not the first time Michael Jackson's attire has raised eyebrows.

This time it is the citizens of Vienna confused by the pop star's outfit for one of his court appearances this week.

Mr Jackson was seen wearing the Golden Medal of Honour for Services to Vienna, despite having committed no conspicuous feat for the Austrian capital.

A spokeswoman for the city told the BBC News website Mr Jackson was not entitled to wear the medal, but said: "We don't think we'll ask for it back."
