MJ's Pepsi commercial accident

strange how many years that took to be released. you think you have seen it all till something like this surfaces. i had to turn away when i first saw this. that poor man. i wouldnt wish burns on my worst enemy.\

this was a big thing when it happened, back in 84 or so. michael was at the peak of his popularity then, before he started getting all weird. you gotta hand it to him, for handling the situation with class. he never really made a big thing about it, or milked it like so many celebrities would have for publicity.

He sued Pepsi for 1 million in which he donated to a local hospitals burn unit. Nigga should have sued afro sheen

not the most politcally correct way of putting it, but i wondered the same thing. whatever product he wore in his hair those days had to be like gasoline. his real hair could not have caugth fire like that.

I've always worn my hair long and I smoked throughout my teens and 20s. Plain, untreated hair takes off like a fucking Roman candle. Something like simple hairspray is a horrific accelerant. Believe it or not, you can be stone cold sober and basically have the whole side of your head on fire for a good couple of seconds and have virtually no clue. You'll smell it before you feel it.

Before anyone asks how one manages such a brilliant trick: Usually you do something REALLY stupid like you're lighting a cigarette and turn your head, while the lighter is still lit. Next thing you know, your friends/family are running at you and beating you in the head.

never thought about it. considering all the people who smoke, and all the women who use hair spray and smoke, that you do not here more stories about hair catching on fire and suffering bad burns. yet another reason why smoking is disgusting.
 
Looked like his trademark spin actually put the fire out before anyone even jumped on him. After his twirl his Jerri curls were only smoking.

Seriously. That's about the time his plastic surgery started getting weird. The video said he had 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his scalp and face. Suppose that left scars that were de-pigmented, maybe that's the source for his claim of vitiligo?

Yep. MY hair caught on fire in a sculpture class in college, I didn't even know it until another student put it out.

No, the vitiligo skin disease made his pigment remove from the skin. It's not that uncommon.

There are many pics of him with his make-up not covering it, or on his arms and he had blotches of brown skin all over his body that the pigment was still in.

He, without question, truly had vitiligo.

Instead of turning "white", you turn nearly albino with no skin pigmentation at all with vitiligo. He used light make up to cover it up on his face. He originally used darker make up to even the skin tone, but it got so white that he just started using white. ou can see a progressiong from thriller to dangerous where is skin looks a little bit lighter al th etime until the early 90's when he was nearly all white on his face.

I am just sad people judged him as a "freak" when he had a disease. the plastic surgeries didn;t help afte so many, but how many hollywood celebs have gone under the knife moe than once? Yeah, most of them.

I don't know many hollywood celebs who did everythign possible to not look black.

I guess someone at some production companyu didn't like MJ so they went into the archives and grabbed that video. Funny the timing. Not sure, it shows poor MJ at the defining moment when Pepsi messed him up and got him addicted to drugs. So Pepsi killed him!!

The "splotches of brown skin all over his body" were likely the remnants of the treatment for vitiligo, which takes about two years or more to completely de-pigment the patient. Vitiligo wouldn't naturally have progressed as quickly as it did for Jackson, he had some extreme help.

But then I also suspect that he was a voluntary castrato, so he could maintain his high voice. None of the other Jackson men turned out anything like Michael.
 
that would have been a bad ass commercial if he hadn't been burned. Somebody got fired for that mistake. :)
