Rumor has it that a Pepsi ad celebrating the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s Thriller will air during halftime of the Super Bowl, no doubt to keep people from switching over to the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet and get them extra-pumped for Tom Petty’s set. The ad will not be a “funny” re-enactment of the legendary commercial shown above; instead, it’ll reportedly be based on the video for the album’s title track, although I’m wondering if it’s going to double as a promotion for the big Pepsi/Amazon MP3 music giveaway that’s also launching during the big game. (Yes, I know Justin Timberlake was going to be the face of that campaign, but maybe everyone came to their senses and realized that a new-ish packaging of a classic record was a better way to get people excited about not illegally downloading music?)

You know, that commercial just puts a smile on my face. Sigh, back when it was all awesome.
I hope they give the Filipino prisoners a royalty for using their YouTube video.
Getting Drunk while watching The Puppy Bowl is the closest thing to nirvana that I will ever find.
