A Diorama of Michael Jackson on Fire

posted by Jason Kottke   Mar 27, 2023

I.... Hmm. I really don't know how to describe this video. Bobby Fingers, who seems to be a professional model maker of some sort (who can also sing and dance?), made a diorama of when Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial (which, weirdly, occurred almost exactly halfway through Jackson's life). It's quietly and surreally hilarious — I absolutely lost it when the horse poop made an abrupt-but-relevant appearance. I don't know what else to say...just watch it. Thank god the internet can still be weird. (thx, tim & clarke)
