Video of Michael Jackson’s hair catching on fire during Pepsi ad rehearsal

Us Weekly magazine has exclusive video of a never-before-seen 1984 Pepsi commercial rehearsal mishap that left Michael Jackson with 2nd and 3rd-degree burns to his head and face. Although purely speculation at this point, many are saying that this was the event that may have caused Michael Jackson to be addicted to prescription drugs.

Army Staff Sgt. Derrick Brooks, seen here wearing a “Pres.-Elect Obama” sign around his neck during rehearsals for the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States, probably isn’t even thinking about the fact that he has now become the official fake Barack Obama. I wonder if the government will continue to use him as official decoy or stand-in. Imagine having a government-appointed position and title like that!

Anyway, here’s a much larger image of Derrick Brooks from The US Army. Doesn’t really look like Barack Obama except for the skin-tone color. Whatever works, works I guess.
