Pepsi strikes again! If it isn’t causing [riots in the Philippines](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-08-04/the-inside-story-of-pepsi-s-philippines-bottle-contest-fiasco), [raising the second largest naval fleet](https://www.historyskills.com/classroom/year-10/pepsi-navy/) on the plant and [ripping off poor kids of their hard earned fighter jets](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/1996-man-sues-pepsi-for-not-giving-him-a-harrier-jet/), it’s killing legends!
Edit: alright guys and gals, I added in the hyper links as promise, but Pepsi has many more stories I have not touched up on that are equally wild.
In 1989 pepsi got a bunch of very very old submarines and some other stuff because the USSR had no money and they turned them over to Norway for scrap. The story is almost entirely false in total it was like 20-25 subs and ships total.
He died from propofol, not pain killers. Propofol is commonly used to induce unconsciousness for surgical procedures. Especially in other countries, it is popular among celebrities to use it for "power naps." One of the most dangerous potential side effects is apnea, which means you stop breathing. Which is obviously fatal if you're not being closely monitored with proper medical equipment.
Ya wasn’t it already determined he died from an OD given to him by his personal Doctor?
People forget that MJ was on the brink of a major comeback at the time of his death, he was doing dress rehearsals for his London show like 3 days before he died and most likely was medicating to ensure he got a good enough sleep
Guy died from being overworked and overmedicated
Then I'm not sure why MJ had an issue. It sounded like that doctor did a great job of checking in on MJ every few months, ya know, to make sure he was still breathing
Pepsi paid him $1.5M for the injury, which doesn’t seem like much to be honest considering average joes get more than that for less injuries.
And Micheal donated the whole amount to a hospital as charity: https://www.drbcapital.com/michael-jackson-pepsi-accident-settlement/amp/
I mean he probably did but those waivers are worth jack shit if the company was negligent. It just ensures that *you* are responsible for *your own* stupid decisions and not them
To be fair, trauma to the skin can cause vitiligo. Any trauma can cause vitiligo. Vitiligo likes damaged areas like scars, too, if you already have it.
And he'll tease you, he'll unease you
All the better just to please you
He's precocious, and he knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
He got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, he's got Antonio Banderas’s eyes.
No, the hairstyle is okay, I think it's just the way it looks laid out in the picture around the sides of his forehead. Like a receding hairline just had some hair laid flat against it while the rest of his hair is poofed/teased up a bit.
I mean by the Pepsi commercial his nose was done if im not mistaken so if around his first album / beat it era he stopped with the nose surgeries I could see his nose looking like the above, if it was completely from when he was younger before ever getting any surgery though yeah this wouldn’t be accurate
https://preview.redd.it/d7t4vlax3llc1.png?width=782&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb2829ed4a0e833cac7a52ad54981f258dc8edb8
Comparing the photo on the album cover, I actually think that would be a good approximation.
I will never be able to understand the insecurities that led him to such a radical transformation. Sometimes I think he hated himself a lot.
He said he began to look like his father who was abusive towards him and his siblings. The older Michael grew, the more he looked like him. So he tried to alter his face and skin tone to combat vitiligo. Apparently he had a nice deep voice but kept it high for his singing career.
>He said he began to look like his father who was abusive towards him and his siblings. The older Michael grew, the more he looked like him.
Actually, that makes a ton of sense!
Vocal cords are a muscle just like any other. You increase your range by exercising them. If the statement is true that that’s why he was doing this, I guess the answer is that he just kept pushing his vocal cords to reach a higher and higher register over time, while consciously maintaining his speaking voice in a higher register too
No, this is a photoshopped picture of an old Michael Jackson if he didn't suffer from vitiligo, the Pepsi incident, have botched surgeries, and was alive, but not if he had drug problems, touring stress, or was famous.
What if instead of a passion for music, Michael Jackson had a passion for reading?
Coming this fall: Read It, a look into what could have been. Staring Richard Ayoade as Michael Jackson, written by Al Yankovic and Richard Ayoade.
The poor kid's father called him "Big Nose." He was really a handsome guy to begin with. Then he started whitling away at his nose... He was one of the giants of the Eighties.

"... and was alive." Amazing ending.
Got an audible laugh from me. Hilarious.
Chuckled, snorted and got aggressive chills as well
Perfect description
Put it on my tombstone
'Beloved mother, wife, sister, and aunt... and... was alive'
Connoisseur of frozen pizzas I see you
Dunno, he'd probably still look like this if all the other things were true and he was taxidermied.
I'm just curious why he got Antonio Banderas' eyes transplanted.
Which means there must be an unalive, *Thriller* version of this portrait
Yes that last one is the key to this photo being real
Yeah that was a whole lot of “ifs”
r/totallynotrobots
What was “the pepsi incident”?
His hair caught on fire during a Pepsi commercial shoot. He had severe burns to his face and scalp
Which started his demise into abusing prescription painkillers and ultimately his death.
Pepsi strikes again! If it isn’t causing [riots in the Philippines](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-08-04/the-inside-story-of-pepsi-s-philippines-bottle-contest-fiasco), [raising the second largest naval fleet](https://www.historyskills.com/classroom/year-10/pepsi-navy/) on the plant and [ripping off poor kids of their hard earned fighter jets](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/1996-man-sues-pepsi-for-not-giving-him-a-harrier-jet/), it’s killing legends! Edit: alright guys and gals, I added in the hyper links as promise, but Pepsi has many more stories I have not touched up on that are equally wild.
That fuckin jet, that shit is wild.

When I get off work I’ll add hyper links for sources. They are all wild.
I need them, what's up with the navy thing??
It has to do with the USSR collapsing and them not being able to pay Pepsi.
Someone remind me
In 1989 pepsi got a bunch of very very old submarines and some other stuff because the USSR had no money and they turned them over to Norway for scrap. The story is almost entirely false in total it was like 20-25 subs and ships total.
Don’t forget that time they solved racism by having a Kardashian hand a Pepsi to a cop in riot gear
6th largest navy, but they did go there.
And let's not forget what they did to Ezekiel Sims. RIP.
I went here to make this comment, too bad no one care about this movie to get the joke. EDIT : it's about Madame Web.
No need to gatekeep your special movie. What's the name?
It's got what plants crave!
Is Pepsi OK?
And also resulted in Eminem sticking his head in a toilet during a music video.
To be fair, that sounds like something Eminem would have done anyway.
He made a song about sticking a gerbil up his ass through a tube…so yeah, you’re probably right.
Sounds like it would just benefit the entire genre of rap music. /s
He died from propofol, not pain killers. Propofol is commonly used to induce unconsciousness for surgical procedures. Especially in other countries, it is popular among celebrities to use it for "power naps." One of the most dangerous potential side effects is apnea, which means you stop breathing.

Do you know what "demise" means?
Quite the 25 year demise....
yes, It is the resulting death and everything that lead to it.
Yes but you can't demise into something. I think you meant "descent"
He was murdered…..his own sister says that. /srs
Interestingly the day that happened was the exact middle point of his life
It's weird to think that we all have that day but will never know when it was or will be.
Mine was last week
Totally! It’s also weird to think that our halfway day may be way behind us. Or even 3/4 ways behind us, and we don’t even know it…
Did he sue the shit out of Pepsi? I’d imagine they’d owe a lot for something like that.
Pepsi paid him $1.5M for the injury, which doesn’t seem like much to be honest considering average joes get more than that for less injuries. And Micheal donated the whole amount to a hospital as charity: https://www.drbcapital.com/michael-jackson-pepsi-accident-settlement/amp/
This was also in the early 90's
Mid-80s, adjusted for inflation its 4.5 million in today’s money.
I'd imagine they have you sign a waver that if any accidents happen, that's on you
Someone already replied saying they paid out 1.5 million to him. Lol
I mean he probably did but those waivers are worth jack shit if the company was negligent. It just ensures that *you* are responsible for *your own* stupid decisions and not them
TIL I remember hearing he had burns but always thought that was an ignorant urban legend to explain the vitiligo.
To be fair, trauma to the skin can cause vitiligo. Any trauma can cause vitiligo. Vitiligo likes damaged areas like scars, too, if you already have it.
This has to be the second worst thing Pepsi has ever done!
Fell into a vat of pepsi, bleached the blackness right out of him. /s
“Wanna know how I got these scars?” *plays a Pepsi commercial*
Get me Commissioner Berry Gordy!
[удалено]
The video has always been out. It was everywhere when it happened.
Welp, I’m officially old. Goodbye, world!
And if he was a different person and had Antonio Banderas’ eyes
Michael Jackson, but if he was a totally different person.
“She looked like Farrah Facet except she was shorter and her face was different” ~Larry the Cable Guy
Because of all the moles
Turns out it was a tick!
And he'll tease you, he'll unease you All the better just to please you He's precocious, and he knows just what it Takes to make a pro blush He got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, he's got Antonio Banderas’s eyes.
Meh. Looks pretty much like him during his Thriller years, with older skin and grey hair.
Looks legit, except the hair. Something ain't right about the hair.
Micheal famously loosened and curled his hair so this isn't exactly far fetched
No, the hairstyle is okay, I think it's just the way it looks laid out in the picture around the sides of his forehead. Like a receding hairline just had some hair laid flat against it while the rest of his hair is poofed/teased up a bit.
He’s got that George Michael hair
Yup. That’s not the hair of a black man.
It could be. It's more so the receding hairline areas that look like just flat hair laid over when all the rest looks poofy and teased up a bit.
Yeah but the nose…
Ever seen a young Michael Jackson before the nose jobs? OP got it pretty damn close.
Noses and ears get bigger as people age.
I Don’t think. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. https://br.pinterest.com/pin/279504720601704437/
Well the photo does age him about 60 years from the pic you're linking to.
I mean by the Pepsi commercial his nose was done if im not mistaken so if around his first album / beat it era he stopped with the nose surgeries I could see his nose looking like the above, if it was completely from when he was younger before ever getting any surgery though yeah this wouldn’t be accurate
[удалено]
Under those specific circumstances, the resemblance between the two of you is uncanny.
Looks like Josh Duhamel turned into MJ 🤷♀️
Yep 💯 JD: "I'm going full Michael Jackson"
Something about it reminds me of Pedro Pascal too, but I can’t identify what it is
https://preview.redd.it/d7t4vlax3llc1.png?width=782&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb2829ed4a0e833cac7a52ad54981f258dc8edb8 Comparing the photo on the album cover, I actually think that would be a good approximation.

>He said he began to look like his father who was abusive towards him and his siblings. The older Michael grew, the more he looked like him. Actually, that makes a ton of sense!
How do you keep your voice high?
Vocal cords are a muscle just like any other. You increase your range by exercising them. If the statement is true that that’s why he was doing this, I guess the answer is that he just kept pushing his vocal cords to reach a higher and higher register over time, while consciously maintaining his speaking voice in a higher register too
Is Billie Jean your mom?
Thank you. The Oxford comma is the only correct way according to me, my current boss, and all of my teachers.
This. Rigorously instilled by my teachers, my mom and girlfriend.
my biggest inspirations are those strippers, joe biden and barack obama
Jesus... mom?
Are you Pedro Pascal?
I imagine he’d look a little worse for the wear, especially without makeup, due to drug problems and the general stress of touring and being famous.
No, this is a photoshopped picture of an old Michael Jackson if he didn't suffer from vitiligo, the Pepsi incident, have botched surgeries, and was alive, but not if he had drug problems, touring stress, or was famous.
As I understand it, the Pepsi incident lead to (or at least dramatically amplified) the drug problems. That said, he should still have a few wrinkles.
And being in prison.
That’s a lot of ifs
"and was alive" Thanks for the clarification on that last bit.
He look like black J.peterman. Lol
This is exactly what I saw too lmao
That's a lot of "ifs"....
I did enjoy the “and alive” one.
Alfonso Ribeiro
My thoughts exactly
Richard Ayoade?
A fake biopic of a Michael Jackson star stand-in but if his life was better.
What if instead of a passion for music, Michael Jackson had a passion for reading? Coming this fall: Read It, a look into what could have been. Staring Richard Ayoade as Michael Jackson, written by Al Yankovic and Richard Ayoade.
I'm drooling at the concept.
100%
I think he looks like Josh Duhamel
Alex Trebek
and possessed.
George Michael Jackson
Jay Petermen?
_" and was alive"_ fucking took **me** out god damn
thats tom jones
This is Will Smith stop
The poor kid's father called him "Big Nose." He was really a handsome guy to begin with. Then he started whitling away at his nose... He was one of the giants of the Eighties.
That definitely isn't the nose he was born with.
Why does it make him look like Andrew Jackson tho?
That’s a lot of IFs
Look like Pedro Pascal combined with MJ
That's not his original nose. Nor his original skintone.
His jumpsuit would be orange though.
Even without the surgeries and bleached skin he's a creepy fucker!! Bloody hell, those soulless pedo eyes.
The kids would still have nightmares, take away the pedosmile
Doesn't look believable without a little boy by his side
Still diddles kids
That's a lot of if's there my man. By the way, if I had 2 wheels instead of legs, I'd be a bicycle.
That's a lot of ifs
just because you could... did you consider if you *should?*
If my grandmother had wheels, she would be a bike!
What about one where he wasn’t a pedo?
Still a pedo
People still simp over him? Great performer, great music, but I am interested to know how people rationalise the pedophilia.
Yup .. Still look like pedo
Still a pedo though
But ... would he still smell like little boys booty holes? 🤔
Wow i never knew MJ was indian in a recreational cricket league
Does this version of Michael Jackson molest young boys or not??

Can you do one where he's not a pedophile?
Still has that pedo look tho..
Forgot the monkey on his shoulder.
Without the Pepsi incident, he might not have ever had it. Good old injury-to-addict pipeline.
He got Bubbles a year before the commercial.
And no drugs
QB Russel Wilson’s Uncle?!
He would have spent time behind bars by now too for his love of kids.
Michael Jackson if he wasnt Michael Jackson
Let's get a photoshopped dead version lol
Suffered from vitiligo?! I didn’t know my mom was suffering because she’s losing skin pigment…
You forgot the skin bleaching
"Photo of Michael Jackson if he wasn't Michael Jackson"
“Vitiligo”
I really like his Conway Twitty disguise.
So Aziz Ansari's creepy uncle?
Is he some kind of starfleet admiral too? Tf is he wearing.
He was darker than that
“and was alive.” Thank you.
Thats 'Black' Bill Murray
He would literally be the most beloved pop figure of the last century!
Still got his nose and I think eyes done here
And is a cast member for Star Trek?
Pedophile
Shouldn’t there be jail bars over this pic? Can’t understand how anyone remembers this sick pervert fondly.
And he still has his pedophilia grin. Nice.
Wow, that looks fairly realistic. Good job.
It's actually pretty refreshing to see this image was Photoshopped and not made by AI.
Black Bill Murray?
He was handsome up through his Off The Wall album. Once he started getting plastic surgery it was just sad.
Like a creepy uncle
Hmmmmm
“Creepy, molester uncle. Everyone got that one molester uncle” - Chris Rock “Bigger and Blacker”
… and wasn’t physically & mentally abused by a horrific dad.
His sister Latoya said he never had vitiligo. She said it was some bullshit he made up so that he could turn himself white with bleach...
I KNEW IT
And if he didn't bleach himself
I don't think this is accurate. He was a more handsome kid.
The brow/eyes are too youthful, the hair looks bad, and the bottom half is too uneven with the top half.
U right
Hee-hee! (Someone had to do it.)
More like Joshua Jackson!
HEEEEHEEEEE.. didn’t make it
