Michael Jackson Thriller revival
p2pnet news | Music:- Having survived one appearance by a member the Jackson family, it looks as though the Super Bowl may be in store for another.
Michael Jackson will make a comeback this weekend in TV advertisements to boost the 25th anniversary of his Thriller video, says the New York Post.
“As part of a marketing plan for the 25th anniversary of the hit Michael Jackson album, a TV spot for SoBe Life Water, a vitamin-enhanced beverage from PepsiCo, will air during the big game next Sunday with a ‘Thriller’ theme, according to documents,” says the story, adding:
An internal memo from Jacko’s former label Sony, written by marketing director Andrew Feigenbaum, prominently mentions the TV spot as “confirmed.”
PepsiCo has refused to acknowledge collaborating with The Gloved One on the super-secret project. There was no immediate comment from a Jackson spokeswoman.
The week of Feb. 8 will deliver what the internal memo describes as a “major TV, radio, online and outdoor advertising campaign.”
It’s likely the covers of the anniversary edition of the album – called ‘Thriller 25′ – which feature photographs of a much younger Jackson with a much darker complexion and a different facial structure, will be seen on billboards around the country.
Thriller Mk II is being regurgitated by Sony BMG’s re-issue division, Legacy Recordings.
Advertising accounts have also been created on the likes of MySpace and Facebook, says a blatant Wikipedia promo post.
The 2004 a Super Bowl half-time featured Janet Jackson’s ‘wardrobe malfunction‘ in which her left breast popped out for all to see.
Subsequently, 20 CBS-owned TV stations were on the wrong end of the maximum indecency penalty of $27,500 for a total of $550,000, the largest fine ever imposed a TV broadcaster.
CBS is challenging the $550,000 fine, levied by the Federal Communications Commission.
Jackson is the one in red.
Hopefully, he’ll keep all his clothes on.

Not a problem, so long as there aren’t any young boys around!

The comment made before me was from a guy who would really want his ass raped by a horse because his self confidence level is extremely low and therefore uses rumors of others to make him feel secure.
