WATCH: Michael Jackson's 1984 Pepsi Ad Accident

I suspect that Michael Jackson's severe burns during the filming of the commercial set off his vitiligo. :(

I've been waiting for 25 years to see this footage!!

Wow I dont think he knew when it first happened. My gosh

OH MY GOD!...his WHOLE head is on FIRE!

My neighbor is a fireman and he just watched it and said, the speed of Michael's spin put the fire out but NOBODY else should ever do that because we aren't Michael Jackson and anyone else would have caused their whole body to be in flames because of the increase in air.

It has been three weeks since his death - can we just let Michael Jackson rest in peace??

Enough already.

Since MIchael's skin color was still normal at the time his scalp was burned, and, since skin trauma is sometimes the trigger to Vitiligo (confirmed by immunulogists), it is a good bet that the scalp burn was the major trigger. Of course, plastic surgeries, his broken nose when he was in his 20s (which required two surgical procedures as confirmed by J. Randy Taraborelli) plus scarring from his acne and lupus - are ALL skin traumas - and either one could have also been a contribution to his vitiligo.

Nice poem Lady J

I miss the King of Pop...

Thanks Eunice!

Someone said enough of MJ coverage but I think it is really important that the media give the facts and only the facts to the public now, to allow people to understand MJ because obviously he had an enormous impact on the majority of americans (according to cnn poll), and many more around the world. He really wanted people to understand him, but he would never blame or speak ill of others. I think this led to many misunderstandings. He could of simply said, the pepsi commercial led to his plastic surgery and stuff and that would of been a satisfying explanation for the public especially in the 80s, but consider what it would have done to pepsi. If everyone who had a thriller album boycotted pepsi, wow what a mess that would of been. NOPE, pepsi is still here today. I really admire this guy for the strength he had. People speak of him as he was too weak to handle his childhood abuse and such but I think it was quite the contrary, he had the strength to maintain his beliefs and he believed strongly in god as he always states in his interviews. I see his strength the most in his lyrics. hope your with god now mj, rip.

Dr. A. Klein kept Jackson on drugs to control him.
He pimped D. Rowe and forced her to marry mj, and he blackmailed her to force her into filing for custody every few years for money.
She is desperate to get out of the situation, but can’t cause Klein is blackmailing her.
He arrranged to get the Deprivan and shaky doctors for mj.
He has been extorting money from mj for years.
He also made a deal with a certain music company to get rid of mj, and get the insurance for the concerts.
Somebody please help D., she is in danger.

The man in last night interview Darly Maze is family please forward my e-mail address to him father L. Maze O.Crute J. Douglas G. Douglas and myself Terry Patrick

I guess the two and half hours the media kept their mouths shut during the MJ memorial service was simply too much... Now, they have to work overtime to make up for loss time with this old horrific Jackson Pepsi Ad video. Good Morning America looped it and played it continously during their report which added up to replaying it about 10 times. I guess people in the media have no loved ones cause they certainly care little about those poor kids of MJ's.I guess they don't have brothers, sons, uncles or fathers. Would they want every misfortune their family went through on the air dozens of times for the world to see. The media does have a right to inform but this isn't information. This is sensationalism pure and simply. Journalism is also about responsible reporting. It's never responsible journalism to show a plane repeatedly hitting the twin towers and it certainly isn't responsible to loop a video of a man who hasn't even been dead a month, nearly dying in a fire accident MORE 25 YEARS AGO. Enough already. Media, please learn when to say when.
