The Patriarch of The Cowsills made Joe Jackson and Murry Wilson look like saints in comparison.

“...this is the song they’re promoting....”

You do realize that this is a commercial. A commercial that is promoting an Apple product. A commercial that is not promoting a song.

So says House as he sits in front of his iMac; depressed and recovering from the Denver loss to the Colts.

They can’t read so I guess they could understand the lyrics by listening. I mean they seem to understand the American Prophet Kanye well enough...

You do realize that this is a commercial. A commercial that is promoting an Apple product. A commercial that is not promoting a song.

You do realize that everything that appears in ANY commercial is carefully chosen. That means every spoken word, every image, and yes, every note and lyric of the background music is chosen for what it says about the product, and how it relates to the attitudes, beliefs, and prejudices of the target audience.

You do realize that any commercial that uses a particular identifiable song DOES promote that song and the group that performs it, whether that is intentional or not.

NO, no, no, you misunderstand. THIS IS AN APPLE HATE THREAD. Nothing but Apple-Hate is permitted.

You will be forgiven the above transgression, but only once. Please conform more properly in the future.
