And besides, the opening of "All Tomorrow's Parties" is much better suited to the scene in the ad.

I guess that I just don't know.

Even dismissive one-liners can be used to sell cars:

Why does this never ever ever apply to radio, though? That's what always stuns me about hearing songs like [insert commercial obscurity here] in commercials - that it is absolutely unthinkable to even dream of hearing them outside college radio, and yet advertisers don't hesitate to use them on TV to sell shit (also see hip-hop in the early 80s).

I see that you encourage the spamming of other people's accounts and find this behaviour despicable. I shall be alerting every moderator on this thread and be asking, nicely, for the posts to be removed before going to ILM's web host and if need be taking this further. I have asked you to remove the post bearing my personal email details and reveal the person who has posted under my name. I see no respect shown to privacy on this forum only a bunch of thugs looking to harrass and undermine someone's personal account.

Which is NOTHING AT ALL like sitting and giggling like a schoolgirl while talking with your ex about how much you enjoy winding up this board...
Some people dish it out but they don't know how to take it...
There's an easy way to stop being offended by your childhood's soundtrack being used on car adverts. Stop watching TV.

Hey, I'd buy any product -- feminine hygeiene included -- that used the "I wanna nullify my life" portion of "Heroin" in a commercial.
Also, there's this: Click it, you know you want to.
