Michael Jackson Pepsi Commercial 'Hair on Fire' Video Finally Found

The Michael Jackson's Pepsi commercial 'hair on fire' incident is now 25 years old. When Michael Jackson had his hair on fire in the infamous Pepsi commercial shoot, it was regarded as the beginning of the end. 25 years later, the Michael Jackson 'hair on fire' Pepsi commercial shoot is more infamous than ever with Michael Jackson gone. Now, the damaging Pepsi commercial, and the moments where Jackson's hair was on fire, is even more infamous with the video of that moment finally found.

US Magazine posted the long awaited video of when Jackson actually had his hair caught on fire during the Pepsi commercial filming in 1984. As every Michael Jackson fan and follower knows, the pyrotechnics for the Pepsi commercial went terribly wrong, as Jackson's hair was on fire after an early explosion.

Michael Jackson suffered terrible burns to his hair and head on that day in January 1984. The Pepsi commercial hair on fire incident was the first negative bump in Jackson's rise to ultimate power. Before that Pepsi commercial accident, Jackson was still best known for his music and for the "Thriller" craze.

25 years later, many are convinced that when Jackson's hair caught on fire, it was the shape of terrible things to come. Reports have been out for years that Jackson began his addiction to painkillers after his hair caught on fire that day. With Jackson's death, and suspicions still around his pill addiction as the cause of his death, the Pepsi commercial is being regarded as the incident that started it all.

Now, at long last, people can actually see Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire, thanks to US Magazine. The timing is pretty suspicious, as no one had been able to find this video from the shoot for 25 years, and now US Magazine has it a month after Jackson's death.

The US Magazine video shows that Jackson kept dancing for a few seconds after his hair caught on fire, then danced around in pain before he was surrounded by a mob of people. The video even catches a shot of Jackson's burned scalp in the aftermath.

Michael Jackson Autopsy Picture: Is it right to look?

There are a number of websites on the Internet who claim to have a Michael Jackson autopsy picture, firstly I cannot imagine that one of these photos would be leaked and second, is it right to look? Fans of Michael Jackson would not want to see their idol in this way, while others have a sick addiction to something like this.

There have been a number of reports as to how bad the state of Jackson’s body was; The Sun reported that the “King of Pop” was a virtual skeleton. It was alleged that he had hardly eaten and only had pills in his stomach. However, we have to wonder how much truth there is in this story.

It is no secret that the mystery surrounding Michael Jackson’s death has yet to be solved, and for those who claim to have images of his autopsy should be ashamed. The images that The Sun had in their newspaper of what Jackson was meant to look like without his makeup and wig were sick.

Tour de France Stage 12: Lance Armstrong recovers from tire trouble

Lance Armstrong avoided disaster in Thursday's 12th stage of the Tour de France after puncturing a back wheel tire with just 37 miles left in the 131-mile ride from Tonnerre to Vittel.

Armstrong was still third overall and riding comfortably in the main pack when a wheel-flat forced the seven-time Tour champion to the side of road for repairs as the pack sped away to Vittel.

Fortunately for Armstrong, his Astana teammates were right there to fix the punctured tire and help Armstrong catch up without suffering a significant loss.
"It is stressful with the crashes, on a stage like this where you have nothing to gain and then you lose everything because of a crash or a split in the group," Armstrong had warned before the start of the stage. "You have to pay attention and try to avoid a crash."

That is just what Armstrong did, despite the perilous puncture to his tire on the stage's final stretch. Armstrong remains in third, eight seconds off the lead of Italy's Rinaldo Nocentini, with the famous Alps mountain stages approaching.
Armstrong has historically excelled in the Alps, and is well within striking distance to overtake the yellow jersey.

Armstrong's teammate and budding rival Alberto Contador of Spain stayed in second place overall, six seconds off the lead. Nicki Sorensen of Demark won the stage for his first individual win at the Tour, finishing 48 seconds ahead of France's Laurent Lefevre.
