Video: Michael Jackson Organizes a Food Fight After Filming 'Black or White'
We were sad to hear about the passing of Michael Jackson today. After learning about his cardiac arrest, only to find his death confirmed shortly thereafter, we listened to some of the pop king's hits and found this video of him organizing a food fight after filming Black or White, a short early 1990s film inspired by the hit single. Jackson wanted to pay the director John Landis some thanks for all his hard work throughout the taping, and clearly pie projectiles were the best way to do that.
Jackson and a young Macaulay Culkin (also in Black or White) planted stink bombs in the pies, which were all lined up on a very long table, and had Super Soakers ready. The action doesn't really start until 2:25, but it definitely makes for an epic food fight.
"Oh, I love it. It could have gone on and on as far as I cared," Jackson said. The King of Pop, and a lover of food fights. The video, after the jump.

Our condolences go out to Jackson's family, friends, and fans.

No matter what one may think of his personal life, his influence on today's music is undeniable. RIP

The man is a legend. Despite what I might have thought about him and the way he lived his life, it still makes me sad. He made some really great music...

don't forget the chorus of Thriller: "You're a vegetable! You're a vegetable!"? huh?

I love how you chose to make a tribute to MJ with this, instead of the predictable "greatest hits" videos other sites put up! :D

do any of you remember the names of any american soldiers that died to protect you? his funeral will be larger than any one of our sons/daughters/husbands/wives etc. that have died so that you can idolize him in public.

I'm so sad about Michael's passing. I still can't believe it. Even though I have a food blog, I had to post something about Michael:
