New Footage of Michael Jackson Pepsi Commercial Accident
The 25 year old footage of Michael Jackson’s hair catching on fire has surfaced courtesy of Us magazine. Pepsi is being blamed for his death because the 1984 accident started his addiction to painkillers. This raises the question is Pepsi really to blame? Where does personal responsibility come in to play? The unfortunate truth is that he became addicted and rather then treating the addiction the people around him enabled him. Had his numerous doctors not prescribed the medication or his family and friends forced him to be in rehab he would still be with us. I don’t blame Michael for becoming addicted to painkillers. Its an addiction, these things happen. But perhaps instead of putting the blame on Pepsi perhaps we should take a long hard look at who was around him and what motives they had to keep enabling him.
Space shuttle Endeavor finally lifts off
After several failed attempts due to weather the space shuttle Endeavor finally lifted off. It is on its way to the International Space Station to join the crew already there. The launch just so happens to be the 40th year anniversary of the launch of the first manned moon landing. Several pieces of foam struck the shuttle as it was lifting off. This is the same thing that happened to the doomed space shuttle Colombia. Heres hoping everything goes ok when the shuttle comes back to earth.
Sears tower to be Renamed Willis Tower
The company who now resides within the Sears Tower decided to rename it. The London based Willis Group holding, an insurance broker is naming the tower Willis Tower. I understand that they own the tower now but it’s a national landmark. There is a petition on Facebook right now that has gathered strength but I think the company has its mind set. Goodbye old friend, I knew you well.

Taliban threaten to Kill US Soldier held captive
Taliban commanders are threatening to kill a United States soldier they are holding captive unless the United States stops its advance on two northern afghan provinces. Perhaps if our troops were not spread so thin thanks to an unnecessary war with Iraq, the war in Afghanistan would have been over a long time ago. The Afghan people themselves need to start standing up and taking a stand against the Taliban. They have been liberated for years but still have no effective police or government. Once again it’s America to the rescue, playing the part of police officers of the world.
23 quadrillion-dollar pack of cigarettes
A gas station in Manchester NM charged a man 23 quadrillion dollars for a pack of cigarettes. What I find more surprising is that the bank actually let it go through and then charged him a 15 dollar NSF fee. Guess they figured he was good for the money. I love his comment during the interview. “ I thought somebody bought Europe with my credit card.” …..And I thought cigarettes were expensive at 5 dollars a pack…..
