MJ's Explosive Pepsi Shoot Video -- 25 Years Later

61. It was just a case of spontaneous human combustion. Sometimes people just burst into flames. Of course soaking your Fro in napalm doesnt exactly help things.

62. I had a bag of chips that I decided to get rid of, by throwing on a fire...What an explosion that created...Those fireworks should never have been anywhere near a gelled head...

63. 34. His scalp is blacker than his face. Hmm.

Also, it couldn't have been that painful, he didn't even know he was burning and kept dancing until people tackled him.

----------------------------------

Are you kidding me? It had to burn through his hair first, then get to his skin to trigger his nerves to then let him know that he was burning and that it was painful.

I'm sorry, but I don't remember when third degree burns didn't "hurt that much".

64. "If it were a person less sympathetic to the drive-by media...let's say a Rush Limbaugh...then I'm sure he'd be the receiver of jokes and put-downs. Agree TMZ?"

Huh?? Are you suggesting that Michael Jackson was the receiver of jokes and put-downs? Have you been on the same planet as the rest of us for the past twenty years, Karen?! Michael Jackson's entire life had become a joke to the media and especially sites like TMZ. His entire personal life was put under a microscope and mocked.

Wow... Just, wow...

66. They said that He knew that his hair was on fire, that's why he Spinned, which took out the fire but after Soo much damage.

People were always trying to down play what really happened. Sham on Anyone who did that. And for the ppl. That comment negatively, You must NOT have a heart.

72. That freak accident moment marked the beginning of his downfall. After that he became addicted to plastic surgery and drugs.

73. Oh my god poor baby . THat must hurt as hell!. R.I.P dear king of pop :(!

74. This is a sad video. If you think about it Pepsi is responsible for part of Michaels downward spiral. If pepsi had been responsible Michael might of not ever got addicted to painkillers. I think Pepsi should of paid Michael a big settlement and he should of been wealthy just from the lawsuit. Very sad that at that moment during the PEPSI commercial Michael's life was changed forever. Pepsi sucks and nobody should drink pepsi again. Pepsi, the docs,,the enabler friends and FAMILY should all be held accountable to some degree.
Pepsi could care less that they are at fault for the start of this.........shame on them.
