Surely at some point during the development of this ad, someone must have turned around and said 'seriously guys this is pretty fucking weak'?
Snoop Diggedy Dogg, rapping about Pepsi in an ad? Not even rapping about it actually, just reminding people how to spell it correctly. Didn't there once exist a time when musicians/artists (loose usage here) used to have some vague sense of integrity? When they were in it 'for the music' and selling out was a serious accusation?
Also how much did this fucking cost? Despite being the walking punch line that he is, he's not gonna be cheap and if you're gonna stuff a ludicrous amount of cash into his claw, at least get him to do something entertaining.
Like I'd love to have seen him down 2 litres of Pepsi in one go. Or even make some awful joke about the fact that the sort of coke he likes has no business being brown (Dark brown? What colour would you describe coke as actually?).
Anyway as I said I'd like to say this shocked me but the fact is it didn't. And that makes me sad.
I'm just going to go about my business and by way of my mp3 playing time machine try and revisit a time when artists had integrity and couldn't be bought.
I blame Bill Watterson for shaping me into the cynical, ill-tempered six year old, that friends, family and unfortunate strangers have to deal with on a daily basis.
Up until about 5 minutes ago, this post was a malignant, 937 word rant denouncing American politics and the utter level of insanity that it manages to conjure up whenever some sort of election or vote rolls around.
However, it is no longer appearing in its original form. Instead it is coming to you in the form of things that I've found over the last few days relating to the level of insanity that American Politics manages to conjure up whenever some sort of election or vote rolls around, that made me laugh.
Some were funny in themselves while others were funny in the kind of way that makes you laugh in disbelief, look at it again, stop laughing for a minute, google the term being used, realise that you've actually become stupider as a result of being exposed to the communication in question, send it on to a close friend, then laugh again at the fact that you've just made them as dumb as you are. *

If this is true it's a pretty cool idea, at first glance. The more you think about it though, the creepier it becomes. What sort of repugnant filth would end up on something like that? As much as it would be interesting to see what would be on it (and could be used to devastating effect in some sort of scavenger hunt around the city - if they were everywhere of course) you know someone would fuck this up pretty quickly. Would you normally plug into something that you just met in the street without so much as an introduction? I don't think that sort of behaviour has been a good idea since the 80s.
One of the comments refers to it as a 'glory hole for laptops'.
