[kj] OT Jet Boy jet Girl Pepsi Ad

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

YouTube link for this ad?

I found the YouTube links for The Fall's "Blindness" being used for the 
Mitsubishi Outlander SUV ad, which threw me off for a few seconds, and 
of course the Buzzcocks' "Everybody's Happy Nowadays," used in a 
commrcial for fucking AARP, a political lobbying orgaization for the 
elderly in America! Both those ads re on YouTube.

Mark E. Smith was in a recent issue of Maximum Rock & roll being all 
anti-music business, anti-corporate, etc., then next thing I know I see 
him selling us sport utility vehicles on TV. Fucked up.

And the Buzzcocks -- a band who used to not get airplay back in the day 
becaus the name was deemed "pornographic" by some (though it isn't) -- 
now promoting an old folks' political lobbying association? I need 
another bowl of Valium.
