Report: Jackson Family Upset by Idol Contestant James Durbin's "Pepsi Moment"

Michael Jackson's family is reportedly upset by James Durbin's "Pepsi moment" comment on American Idol.
Following Durbin's Wednesday night performance of Elton John's "Saturday Night's All Right" — complete with a flaming piano — the rocker joked with host Ryan Seacrest about being scared of the pyrotechnics.

"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,'" Durbin said.Durbin was clearly referencing the 1984 incident when Jackson's hair caught on fire while filming a pyro-filled commercial for Pepsi. Jackson's scalp was badly burned, which led to Jackson's use of painkillers. Jackson died in 2009 after receiving a combination of powerful drugs including propofol, lorazepam and midazolam.The Jackson family was not pleased with Durbin's crack. "We were shocked to see this," a rep for the family said in a statement to TMZ. "It's nothing to make light of and everybody should be focusing on who was responsible for Michael's death."

Durbin responded on Twitter, though his posts on the matter have since been removed."For anyone talkin..I said pepsi NOT MJ! I have no disrespect for Michael," Durbin wrote. "I grew up singing his art. I guess youll take it how you want it..."  He later added: "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."Do you think Durbin's remarks were insensitive?
