Today in London rich obsessive fans can bid on a clump of Elvis' hair from 1958 as well as 12 strands of MJ's burnt hair from the 1984 Pepsi commercial.
Nevermind that there is burnt hair remaining from an incident that happened 25 years ago. The bigger question is why does this producer named Ralph Cohen have this hair?! You picked up MJ's hair off of the ground to keep it in hopes of one day selling it?
Michael only received $1.5 million from Pepsi. Imagine if he had known that the producer was collecting his hair at that moment. The settlement would've been bonkers.
I guess this is just another case of exploitation. Sad to see but true to form...

Interesting post, but I'd like to see what argument you want to make about exploitation. I know you're simply putting it out there to generate discussion, but I'd like you to give us your thoughts on what you think of the matter. As someone who evidently loved and respected MJ, are you outraged, are you irked, are you indifferent, are you curious?
