We were watching American Idol the other night which I really should be mentioning on the Blog of Shame, when this Mitsubishi ad comes on and the music is "Do You Realize?" by the Flaming Lips. That hurt. That was one of the few pop songs that really touched me musically and lyrically in the last while. It was personal and now it's part of the marketing machine. I don't care about "selling out" issues or making moolah, they have a right. Some songs are fine in ads, but I will never reconcile the meaning it had for me with trying to sell me a Mistubishi. It's like finding out your lover was getting paid to have sex with you. No it's not. That would be funny.
