My open letters~~~
Dear Advertising Campaign Managers,
Will you please stop raping my formative teenage years by using bad versions of my favorite 80's songs to advertise stupid products? It's bad enough that I have to hear some elevator muzak version of "Melt With You" emanating from my television set, but to then find out it is advertising Taco Bell's new Cheesy Melt is disturbing, to say the least!
I mean, come on, Bob Seger & John Mellencamp already sold out "Like A Rock" & "This Is My Country", respectively, to be used in Ford commercials, do you have to go and kill my NuRo/New Wave songs too? What's next, Social D's "Mommy's Little Monsters" for baby products or "Ball & Chain" used to advertise erectile dysfunction medications? I've already endured "Don't Stop" being used by Bill Clinton! Give me a break!!
What happened to coming up with original jingles? It seems that creativity in advertising has gone the way of Rap/Hip-Hop music...not an original riff in the bunch!! While you're at it, could you put a little truth back in your advertising? There is not an 80 year old man alive who is going to pop a little blue pill & go home with a 22 year old Playboy bunny! Unless said 80 year old man is Warren Buffet (Billionaire) or Hugh Hefner!
I swear, if you use a Rick Springfield song in anything, I will spam the crap out of your websites & prank call you until the cows come home (I have a flat rate long distance plan, so this will not cost me a dime!)!!!!
Dear Mr. Bill Gates,
Would you please take those commercials touting Windows Vista as Mohave off the air? No matter what you call it or how many people you pay to say "It's a wonderful OS!", Vista still sucks! If you call it Mohave, it still sucks. You cannot put lipstick on a pig & call it a beauty queen...it's still a pig! Get all your brilliant minds up there in Seattle to build an OS that does not shut down for no reason, does not go stupid every 20 minutes & freeze up on me, does not fight against my web browser & that does what it is supposed to do...make my PC run smoothly & efficiently.
If you cannot do this very soon (I will give you until my birthday, so you have 3 months), I will be forced to either switch to Linux as my OS or go get a Mac. I know I probably should have done this in the first place, considering you stole Windows from Steve Jobs/Apple, Inc. oh, so many moons ago. Haven't you learned yet that copies are never as good as the original?
I thought you were supposed to be a genius????!!!
