"&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE: &lt;/strong&gt;Idol contestant James Durbin just tweeted, \"For anyone talkin..I said pepsi NOT MJ! I have no disrespect for Michael. I grew up singing his art. I guess youll take it how you want it...\" and then followed that up with, \"Talkin about MJs passing is too soon. Making a reference to an incident 25 years ago..not too soon. The stab was at pepsi people.\"&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael Jackson&lt;/strong&gt;'s family is offended by a comment made on \"&lt;strong&gt;American Idol&lt;/strong&gt;\" last night by a contestant, who made light of MJ's devastating injury that triggered years of drug abuse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&amp;amp;mediaKey=53a079dd-5c99-4e8d-8cdf-57f3d7882d78\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/03/31/033111-american-idol-video-credit.jpg\" alt=\"Pepsi Moments\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you saw the show, &lt;strong&gt;James Durbin&lt;/strong&gt; told &lt;strong&gt;Ryan Seacrest&lt;/strong&gt; after his performance, \"I have a lot of hairspray in my hair to keep it from jumping around -- so much so, the one thing I was worried about was having a 'Pepsi moment.'\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The \"Pepsi moment\" is a reference to the 1984 incident where Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial, severely burning his scalp -- an injury that triggered an addiction to prescription drugs that may have ultimately taken his life.\n&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&amp;amp;mediaKey=c6a821c8-96d4-4ed3-9369-3dd4be0c2233\"&gt;&lt;img meebo:notsharable=\"true\" alt=\"033111_pepsi_splash_video\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/03/31/033111-pepsi-splash-video-credit.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Jackson family rep tells TMZ, \"We were shocked to see this. It's nothing to make light of and everybody should be focusing on who was responsible for Michael's death.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rep says Joe was particularly upset that producers didn't take the remark out of the West Coast feed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
