Us Magazine has footage of the infamous 1988 Pepsi commercial in which Michael Jackson’s hair caught fire, the supposed catalyst that sent him spiraling him into a lifelong addiction to painkillers that would ultimately lead to his death. The media dubbed it a “tragic accident.” I call it “God’s way of punishing you for having a jheri curl.” Or maybe “God’s way of punishing you for being a pedophile.” I’m no a priest or anything, but least one of those has got to be one of seven deadly sins.

Previously unseen pictures of Jackson showcasing needle marks and necrotic tissue in an ABC interview in 2002:
