Ever wanted to own a piece of Michael Jackson's burnt hair? Well now you can place your bid. 27 years ago, the late pop star sensation had his hair scorched while filming a commercial for Pepsi. The pyrotechnics went wrong and badly burned Jackson.
A portion of Michael Jackson's burnt hair was taken from this unfortunate event and now can be yours for $149. I'm not sure who would want to keep a framed card holding Michael Jackson's locks, but I wouldn't doubt that there are fans who'd actually have a bidding war over this item.
