Michael Jackson: The Pepsi Commercial That Went Awry

I’ve been laying off the Michael Jackson news lately, but this latest find might be of interest to some of you. Somehow, US Magazine unearthed the video of the Michael Jackson 1984 Pepsi commericial that went horribly wrong.

There are those who speculate that his addiction to pain meds began after he received 2nd and 3rd degree burns to his face and scalp after pyrotechnics set his hair on fire during the filming of the commercial.

Check it out after the jump. A word of warning: It’s pretty graphic. His entire head looks like it’s on fire.

In other news, Jackson sold another 1 million plus copies of his albums last week. Check out Kirsten’s weekly sales post for the deets.
