Michael Jackson Thriller Headphones Have Dual Meanings Now

These Michael Jackson Thriller headphones are pretty fantastic cause, well, they’re Thriller headphones, but the graveyard imagery might be a little bit too soon. Still, awesome. [Thriller Headphones via Josh Spear]

    @OMG! Ponies!: I didn't know it was possible for a chunk of text to sound just like someone, but that did it. Now I'm going to have Vincent Price's voice in my head for the rest of the day.

    I don't know if anyone has gotten all fluster and bluster about these yet, but they're actually several months old, and part of a group of headphones inspired by songs. See the full set here:

    @undefined: Come on, have some respect for the dead. I know a lot of people fell out of love with Michael as they got older, but you have to admit he touched a lot of us while we were little.

    @badhatharry: That, and they did an autospy, so all his insides are in plastic bags stuffed in his chest cavity...

    Happy thoughts people!

    Lame! If it wasn't for the werewolf face you'd have no idea they were Thriller related.

    I think that it's whack
    to call something whack
    WHO SAID THEIR WHACK?!?

    @SudiptiEquestridomus: Oh shit, you're right! He would have then truly topped Elvis. Screw rumors of being still alive...check this out, biotches!

    @FriarNurgle:

    frankly I think dat it be off da hook homie

  • Justinpaulson

    @Improbable: Not to mention the graveyard imagery isn't because he's dead...it's because all the zombies came out of graves in THRILLER! Is it too soon to reference the guy's art?

    Plus, yeah, these were part of a headphones-inspired-by-songs thing way back in march. I think my favorite is still the I believe I can Fly headphones (what's up with two of the 5, i think 5, being based on artists that have gone through trials for statutory rape?)

    @Guymann:

    or is he?

  • T-Will

    @Guymann: Oh, now I get it!!!

  • FriarNurgle

    Those are whack... It's ok to use the work "whack" without offending someone?

  • Improbable

    How can you call it "too soon" when these showed up in the link from a post back in March?

  • OMG! Ponies!

    Hellooo, boys and ghouls.

    Vincent Price here with Michael Jackson. And we're just dying to tell you all about these thrilling headphones. The crispness of the sound is downright chilling. And the cost, like me, is a price that's more than welcome.

    So scare up some money and come on down to buy a pair. They're BAD.....

    Based on the source website, these headphones also seem to be endorsed by Milo Ventimiglia.

    @Bigbadbikernerd: I mean "special"

  • gemcosta

    I'd feel like a complete idiot if I was using these headphone while listening to anything but Thriller.

  • Jestermeister

    Know what would be awesome? If he decomposes some and then comes back as a zombie. We'd all be like "whoah....that's just like Thriller!"

    Jestermeister

  • Bigbadbikernerd

    You would have to be a special kind of person to wear these around...

  • bobojuice

    @Guymann: Zing!

  • Guymann

    It's funny 'cause he's dead now.

  • baiguai
