But even a heavy metal band can’t make you look badass.
Usually you have to be black to enjoy such indigniities.
Hooray Uhhmmerica! Land of the plebe, home of the slave.

Bon Jovi is full of Irony
Bon Jovi loves the ironic. His newest music video is called “We Weren’t Born to Follow”, and somehow it manages to completely rip off the title sequence that Micah Hahn, Mike Beynart and myself created for Current TV’s Embedded Series. For a song who’s title claims they weren’t born to follow, whoever created the video missed the meaning.
Yes, I said it. The video is a rip-off, a copy, a fake. I’ve been noticing this for awhile tho, big name artists and the massive corporations behind them have no shame in biting off of the work of other artists who aren’t as big as they are; a prime example being one of the most blatent rip-off artists of all time, Timbaland.
I guess I should be flattered, but honestly, Jovi’s video isn’t just a blatant bite, but it’s a POORLY done rip-off. C’mon now, if you’re going to rip off my work, at least improve on it.
Now you might say “…but Bon Jovi’s video premiered Oct 10, 2009, and Embedded aired on Oct 14th!”. Well to that I’ll say that Embedded was originally supposed to air in early September, and promo’s for the show (which include segments of the title sequence) were viewable on Current.com and on Current TV for a good month or so in advance. You decide for yourself.

Bon Jovi’s “We Weren’t Born to Follow”…heh
Global Warming.
So, um. Let me get this straight. THIS is supposed to persuade me to FIGHT global warming/climate change? Apparently the hotter it gets, the more clothes these models take off.
Blame it on the Alcohol
A lot of video posts lately I know. But still. Wow. Do you really need more booze at this point? Who does he think he is? Lindsey Lohan?
Jay Leno is a corporate shill
Seriously, what kind of joke set-up begins with “Pantene Volumizing Shampoo…”?
Gah.
