What a perfect storm this duo is! It's amazing, the bile coughed up on their behalf. Impressive, even. I mean, if I were given a similar platform (a few Youtube clips and a couple of heavy-rotation holiday ads) and asked to irritate as many people as humanly possible, I couldn't even come close to matching their accomplishment. Such efficiency! Probably some important lessons to be learned here.

News anchors should be barred from trying to be witty ("Pomp-la-muse!" "Drumroll please") during reports. No, wait, I'm pretty sure they already are.

xpost: the parallel's in the change in how people relate to the corporatization of everything. Yes, selling a song off an album that declared "Fuck advertising, commercial psychology/Psychological methods to sell should be destroyed" required a defense 10 years ago: That was a happy thing--happy because they sang it, happy because people believed it, and happy because there was an alternative economy/culture being built up by people who felt the same. A lot of that endures, but sometimes the anti-corporate ethos seems like a lost language--you see it in the way "indie" can now describe a "couple." And of course it's normal for a rock band to buy your schoolbooks because Lord knows the government won't.

Pete Fucking Scholtes OTFM. sometimes depressed by ILM's snide dismissal of the anticorporate aspects of 80s indie/punk ethos. still have a great deal of respect for those values, not least because that they help counterbalance apathy and the obvious power of big money to shape discourse & culture.

like the downside of the anti-rockist embrace of all things pop is that it leaves little room for for such values, for the intrinsic social value of a loyal (economic/political) opposition

No really guys, I kind of like that Bacon song. I don't read it as "lol bacon" but rather a deadpan commentary on the sickness of our country, for which our empty culture can offer no better "remedy" than bacon. The video is like a post-Christmas rec room toy binge to the point of hallucination.
