Ew. And Why?

Ugh. Have you seen this shit?

DISCLAIMER: I am a known and registered Rom-Com-Hater, and unless it had Freddie Prinze Jr. and there's lots of food, I will usually not watch them. I do like chick-flicks though, a lot, and yes, there is a difference. I like movies focused on girl's/women's lives, which may or may involve romance (eh.) and corniness (for me, this is usually a must-have). Movies like Princess Diaries, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Josie and the Pussycats, I consider awesome chick-flicks and I am unashamed!

As you could probably guess, I was disgusted to hear my jam, Psycho Killer, in the background of this stupid, stereotype-filled, Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl vehicle. Oh! A Lonely Single Woman meats her dream man! Yayyy! But little does she know.... HE'S A FUCKIN' SECRET AGENT!!!! HAHA! I know, I know, crazy, right! Let hilarity ensue! No one has ever seen anything like this before! ...I was going to make a list of how many times we have seen this before, but it got way to long.... so I guess I'll stop shitting on this movie, no one is making me see it, let people who like that type of shit see it... but i hate Katherine Heigl! And The Ugly Truth was the worst movie ever! And Ashton Kutcher has done nothing of value in his entire career except That '70s Show. OK. I'm done (but you know it's true - everything besides that show sucked).

But really- why did those dumb asses have to steal my song!

This reminds me of a past heart-break over favorite songs in commercials....

Why Rilo Kiley?! It must be some kind of mistake! Seriously- do I have to count all the offences?

1. It's a Commercial

2. For Meat

3. With A Girl from "The Hills"

4. And Objectification of Women

5. And Stupid Ideas About Body Image

.....I could come up with more if i wanted to... I guess it is kinda ironic-cool, because of the meaning of the song, but whatever, I still prefer not hearing my beloved Rilo Kiley attached to a close-up of Audrina Patridge's ass.

Y'all get the acoustic version-which is actually really cool- because that bitch-ass Warner Brother Records won't let you embed the official one, but I feel kind of bad because the original included porn stars and the such and putting in this one makes it seem like I'm trying to make this song into just a little, innocent, indie jam, which it is not, it is kind of dark and suggestive, but I still don't believe it involves Audrina Patridge's ass.

I guess all this just goes to the larger question about the relationship of art and commercialism and marketing, and i guess, in general, just how we are a consumer/advertising (or just capitalist) culture and how ads are basically everywhere and diluted into all aspects of our life, and what that means and how (or if) it changes the value of art

And of course there is the kind of Andy Warhol aspect of it, that commercialism/consumerism is vain and empty, but kind of beautiful, so own it and see the art within it...i don't know... but I kind of feel like Tom Waits, "If Micheal Jackson wants to work for Pepsi, why doesn't he just get himself a suit and an office in their headquarters and be done with it?" as if we needed more proof that Tom Waits is the best artist ever.

...Sorry for all the run-on sentences and ellipses, I have a serious problem.
