[kj] Nervous Breakdown

[Alexander Smith]

Last night, I spotted "Mountain Song" by Jane's Addiction in an ad for 
fuckin' Coors beer, which is wrong on more levels than can be imagined 
(read up on Coors' business practices for more info).

"Uncontrollable Urge" by my beloved Devo is now being used to hawk 
cars. "Migration" by Cop Shoot Cop is now used to sell fucking sneakers 
to jarheaded, meatnecked jocks (and this from a band whose first album 
was called CONSUMER REVOLT).

Fuck all these people. If you work in advertising, do the world a favor 
and gargle with a bottle of sulfuric acid.
