Says this terrible video from US Weekly that is grim and doesn’t need to exist and my sincerest apologies, in advance, to your eyes.

His head was on fire for a really long time. Someone get the :( extinguisher. According to US Weekly, it was as a result of the second and third degree burns that Michael Jackson suffered that led him to a lifetime of addictions to painkillers and plastic surgery. And all because Pepsi, that asshole, wanted some stupid ad for their SECOND RATE drink. Coke would never have murdered Michael Jackson like this. Way to go, Pepsi*. Drink Coke.

*Also way to go US Weekly. When does the name-change to CLASSIEST Weekly take effect?

  1. I watched this video earlier, against my better judgment. To anyone who is trying to decide whether or not to watch, let me say, in all seriousness: Don’t.

  2. I didn’t think it was that bad. In fact, am I a horrible person for kind of smiling when he kept dancing while his scalp was on fire? Probably. But yikes, that’s horrible, wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

    That’s horrible! In all seriousness, I just can’t believe how long it took him to realize that his hair was on fire. Was the spinning toward the end to put it out? I’m amidst sad confusion.

      • I like to submit this as another reason why there needs to be a “?” button. Thank you.

        The other weird thing with MJ’s death is that videos/news like this are being brought into the light. Did anyone need to know this may of caused his painkiller addiction? No. Did anyone need to talk to his driver about how Mike actually wasn’t a pedophile, but was a gay man and had sex with a burly construction worker in broken down motels? Again, no. Stop it and shut it down.

    I don’t know about you guys but I thought that music was spot on. It really created the mood

    It might have kicked off a painkiller addiction, but sure looks to me like he had already been having a lot of plastic surgery.

    how long before that video is on YouTube, but set to different music (think Benny Hill, or standard Circus music)?

  9. C’mon! We all know it was the media and the paparazzi and all that jazz that killed Michael Jackson. No person can put up with that much pressure for their entire life without having some sort of mental breakdown over it. But since the media won’t blame itself, they start grasping at straws.

  10. Maybe it’s because I’m a survivor of the Ogrish days but c’mon, it’s not that bad. It’s clear he didn’t even FEEL it until the very end.

  11. 45 points to the mastermind behind this vid’s score.

    Sorry kids, but this video isn’t new or anything. MJ’s hair catching on fire was a PRETTY HUGE DEAL, because, you know, him being the king of pop and everything. I’m sure the kind hearts at US Weekly were all like “well, we could refrain from showing this horrible yikesfest to a whole new wave a MJ enthusiasts, but nahhh. It’s good history.”

    • actually, the real story here is who kept this footage out of the public eye until after he died? Pepsi? The video production company?
      These guys keep better secrets under wraps than all the government agencies trying to cover thier tracks on blowing up the world trade center! ( BTW – no government agencies tried to blow up the world trade center.)

  13. OY TO THE MAXX.

    Well, I guess we know where the team from Hard Copy is working now.

    You think maybe his abusive, controlling father had something to do with it too?
