    But the real question is...can we microwave hotdogs on stupid painted ceramic or will I still get lead paint poisoning? The lead...it is sweet. Or does this defeat the purpose because I'll get cancer from the micro-o-ah-waves?

    No wonder our kids can barely exist outside of an oxygen tent or a womb. Open a processed food bag, light a candle, or use a little spray cheese and they'll pop like a tick.

    What idiocy. Was this study paid for by a big grant from General Electric and Philips? Soon we'll find out everything causes cancer, right? Like... rainbows! And unicorns! And Sno-Cones! And Kit-Kat bars! And even back rubs!

    Fackeeeng Scientists! I remember vivdly seeing a news story when I was young, about how HAIR BLOWERS give you cancer.

    I'm waiting for the report on how oxygen leads to cancer and how water leads to arthritis.

    Wow, the Pepsi spokesman doesn't sound much like an insensitive corporate prick at all, does he? I guess you didn't get the message that the average man in the street hates you because, A) you work for a large corporation and B) you have a high paying job.

    Not me though. I'm a Republican. I know exactly where you're coming from, buddy.

    @ChillbearLatrigue: I'm not quite sure whom you're addressing or if you're being sarcastic, but I agree that the spokesman doesn't sound like much of a prick. More like he's sick of all the Michael Jackson stuff and thinks it's a weird question to ask him at this point.

    @mina324:I actually thought that he sounded like a insensitive prick. I just don't care if corporate spokesmen are pricks, because I don't need them to be my buddies. I was talking to the spokesman, but yeah I changed it after the first sentence, so yeah...

    The release of this video is part of an attempt by the Jackson family (and others) to make us feel sorry for MJ before the autopsy is released. When we find out he had twenty-seven kinds of drugs in his emaciated body, open wounds, collapsed veins and dozens of track marks, we're supposed to feel sorry for him because of something that happened 25 years ago. Basically, it's Pepsi's fault.

    @PandoraSpocks: Sounds likely. When this tape started showing up on TV earlier this week the desk-jockeys were introducing it as the event that hooked MJ on painkillers, which (may have) led 25 years later to his death. Wonder where they got that line?

    @NinaHagen: What makes you think TMZ didn't actually speak to Giraldi? I'm genuinely curious, as it seems apparent that Levin and Co. are pretty on top of things when it comes to this case -- regardless of whether or not one agrees with TMZ's tactics/ethics/etc.

    (If you weren't implying that TMZ lied about the Giraldi phone conversation, please quickly forget the aforementioned and accept my most sincere apologies.)
