Looked to me like maybe she had a burrito with that pepsi.

Me too, man.

A local company of mine, Digital Domain, is the one responsible for Hologram Tupac. They're making a whole division around hologram performances now.
I don't know if I'm supposed to be proud about that.
Wait, did they removed it or something?

"Wacko Jacko"? What are you, a tabloid writer?

yes
Ok, there's 3 ways you can look at it:
- A family that I'm guessing is pretty well off in comparison to normal people is still trying to squeeze every penny out of Michael Jackson's image, rather than letting him go.
- As relatives of Michael, this is an easy way to support the entire family if they ever fall on hard times. If you look at it this way, Michael would want them to use his image.
- Coke tastes better than Pepsi
Really, pepsi?

I think the blue can looks pretty cool.
I'd have several strokes to her if I wasn't on that damned no-fap kick....
OT: I'm all for a holo zombie MJ in Pepsi ads...

Same. I don't think auto-update does anything, by the way. At least it doesn't do what what we think it does.

You could also look at it this way:
Michael Jackson was an artist who wanted his music to have a wide audience. This cross promotion will create publicity for the release of Bad 25 (and hopefully a Bad tour DVD/Blu-ray) later this year. None of us could speak on the behalf of the deceased, but I imagine that most artists would be happy to see their work reaching a new generation.
In my opinion, this is probably one of the more tasteful things the Michael Jackson estate has done.

They should bring back Crystal Pepsi to commemorate the later years of Jackson's life.

I guess this is slightly off topic, but a re-issue single of "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (the first single released for Bad in 1987) has been listed at several online retailers, including Amazon.com. The CD seems to also include a previously unreleased song called "Don't Go Messin' Around," which was recorded during the production of Bad. The release date is listed as June 8th. Still no official announcement though.

First allegation was proven false and a blatant money grab by the child's father. The second was a jury voting a unanimous Not Guilty verdict on all fourteen charges. People are so eager to damn the man because he was weird without having any actual proof of wrongdoing. Is that about all of it?

I approve of this tasteless money-grabbing.

Along with Bad 25, a DVD of Michael Jackson's July 16th, 1988 concert in Wembley, London will be released. According to the press release, this DVD is sourced from a VHS tape, so don't expect great picture quality.
The album and DVD are both due to be released on September 18th.

Eventually people are going to be ordering Pepsi from digital waiters designed to look like Michael Jackson.
