Guilty pleasures

I thought the Michael Jackson coverage would be a total bore, but some old gems have turned out to be surprisingly fun. From the Woot blog:
Moonwalker--this 1988 arcade game captures the creeping megalomania of the white-suit period, positing Michael as a whirling, moonwalking superagent on a mission to, yes, free the children from a villain unimaginatively named Mr. Big. In this clip, Michael trades the white suit for body armor. Best part: the special weapon that clears the screen by forcing all the baddies to dance offstage. Michael's military strategy was as forward-thinking as his beats.


An Eddie Murphy impression (NSFW language):



One of the most amazing tributes, Filipino prisoners dance to "Thriller":



And finally, an oddly moving Pepsi commercial:



Update: Of course Andrew had to go round up some Iran-themed vids.
