When Life Hands You Lemons, Screw Lemonade, You Can Make Diamonds

So, it’s been over a month since MJ passed away. He totally rocked our world, but did y’all hear he was unable to grow hair? Apparently he’d been wearing a wig for years, and his head was really just covered in a delicate peach fuzz. Or, I’m trying to remember how Dave said it, something about how MJ looked like he’d just rolled around in some loose hair clippings and a few strays stuck to his head. Anyway.

But, MJ did have hair, once. Some avid fans or nostalgic Pepsi commercial rememberers might recall the Michael Jackson Pepsi commercial seen in the clip below. During rehearsals, MJ’s hair caught on fire. I know, no big deal, hair on fire, guy puts it out, take 2, right? Wrong. It was more like, hair on fire, guy puts it out, saves singed hair, sells singed hair along with Armani jacket used to put out fire, someone thinks it’s a great idea to make diamonds out of singed hair remnants.

I think commenter rainebaby said it best: “I think its truly amazing what science can achieve today, but this strikes me as one of those scenarios that just because you can, doesn’t follow that you should.”
