plasticeyeball Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 if this starts up again, i'm giving this thread the same that dude gave that show: Two thumbs up. Up my own eye sockets! p.s. I don't get the correlation. Are you saying Ponds is selling out sponsoring a shit mini series or Ponds should use a a Wilco song cause they're easy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Why did the other thread have to be locked? I didn't read most of it and don't care how long it goes on, but the excuse that "The subject seems to have been pretty well talked out at this point" is lacking. The mods get to decide when people can stop discussing something? Threads that speak badly of the band are not going to last long - I can understand that in some ways. Plus - jokers like me make jokes and that gets things off track. If this was an official board - it would have been removed on the first day most likely. At least that is the sort of thing I have seen from time to time on official boards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plasticeyeball Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 nah, i don't give a shit about corporate marketing. i just liked the two thumbs up in the eye sockets line since i actually have one i can put my thumb in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus - jokers like me make jokes and that gets things off track.To be fair - and I know this has not always been the case - but I thought everyone was allowed (certainly from a moderation standpoint) to voice their opinions freely, whether they were for or against the decision to license songs for the commercials.

Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Also, the fucking WHO are all over network TV with the god damned CSI. (meet the new boss... same as the... whatever, go sell something.)I didn't bat much of an eye over Wilco endorsing VW, but when I heard the overture to "Tommy" advertising Allergy meds on tv, it just about caused an all out facial tick..I won't even go into the silly Sweatin to the Oldies- like cover of "We're not gonna take it" included in a compilation my gym plays as part of our circuit training. I oscillate between laughing and crying on that one..Question...Who owns their catalogue?? Pleeaaase tell me it's not Townshend!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I don't think enough time has been spent/wasted on how awful those VW ads are. I bet Wilco was imagining some kind of inspired use of their tunes, such as the "Da, Da, Da" ad from the 90s, or that tune VW used for their windshield wipers/kid bouncing basketball synchronicity ad - these are just godawful, stupid, boring ads.

Bhickman Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 there are far bigger fish to fry and fuss over than corporate marketing seizing control over the stupid of the country. We all fall victim to it somehow...if you shop anywhere and buy anything, you're feeding it. So to argue against it is really a hard stance to take...unless you're living in the middle of the woods in a house you constructed from the trees surrounding you and grow your own food and hunt your own meat. This whole society is festering...sorry...I'm a bit down about the state of the world and feel defeated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Good Old Neon Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 The irony in car ads is that most of them focus on the cars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bhickman Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I'm not a fan of cars or sports...so I'm with you on that. I find that, if there's a car I like the look of, it was made decades ago. Granted those cars are wholly impractical in a society where gas is nearing $4 a gallon... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He often defends those things - by saying that he was bankrupt in the early 80s and is not as well off as other rock icons. I always wonder how many millions does one person need.

Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 That other guy was asking questions he knew the answers to too... All joking aside..what WAS the question? Not to rehash the past and all, but I honestly never read what it was and am curious why it WASN'T answered..It must be a pretty heavy question... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
