Creepy or Not? Would You Buy Strands of Michael Jackson's Hair?
user
This week, 12 strands of Michael Jackson's
hair will be up
for auction at the Edwardian Radisson Hotel in London. These
precious (is, "precious" the word I'm looking for?)
strands were collected by Ralph Cohen who was the
executive producer on set during the infamous
Pepsi commercial gone awry when Michael
Jackson's hair caught on fire in 1984.
These singed bits of hair are expected to bring in $1,600 when
they go up for auction on Saturday, October 17. To put that amount
into perspective, a clump of Elvis Presley's
hair will be up
for auction on Sunday, October 18 and is expected to bring in
$12,000.

Although Michael Jackson is the king, that is so creepy and I would never buy his hair.

CAN'T BELIEVE THE LACK OF MORALS!!
Can't believe that the producer collected his hair samples and then had the nerve to sell it and make profit, he must be hard up for cash! It's so wrong and disrespectful, especially when it was a traumatic moment for MJ who was a young boy. Leave him ALONE!
I wouldn't buy his strands of hair because of the disrespect not because of him being creepy. There was nothing creepy about MJ.

I would not even buy, rent, steal or listen to his most recent work. If he can knowingly rip-off Paul Anka, why would anyone be interested in what is probably not his hair?
