Hey Pepsi, thanks for ruining Michael

I've never liked Pepsi at all. I'm more of a Lindsay Lohan, meaning I prefer Coke. But if you don't know, Pepsi was allegedly responsible for starting a downward spiral of prescription pain-killers that Michael Jackson became addicted to after an accident left him with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his scalp and face. On Jan. 27, 1984, during a commercial shoot inside the Auditorium in L.A. fireworks set Jackson's hair on fire, and this week US Weekly kindly provided us with the exclusive footage. Its actually pretty hard to watch.

I watched this video six times and I can see clearly that Michael managed to put out the fire by spinning at an incredible speed, his hair was on fire for just a few seconds not nearly enough time to produce a third degree burn, a third degree burn means there is no skin left at all. However, I can see why Jackson's attorney may have chosen to exaggerate the event as much as possible and this blog repeat statement without checking the facts. In any case, this is just proof that Michael Jackson was super-human since he could put out a fire with his skillful dance. Long live the king.

Yeah I can't believe it all started with the Pepsi commercial.
