    thats right, because we don't want some bitch to scream eey-dee eeh-dee the entire damn night we MUST want you to sit there quietly all night long...

    or whistle the exact same way in-between every song all night long even before the song ends...we MUST want you to not open your mouth at all...

    we're just stupid like that. we think in extremes.
    Of course I value your opinion. It's what makes you wrong and me right.

    Screw that, it's a new opportunity! Think: People are buying these bootlegs. Seems like a great way to promote something (a product, a website, etc.). So maybe soon someone will sneak a megaphone into the venues and shout out in-between songs. I can see it now, late into a set:

    "Daughter"/"It's Ok"/"WAL-MART: ALWAYS LOWEST PRICES"/"The Wrong Child" followed by "Leatherman", "Betterman"/"Save It for Later", "Nothingman", Encore Break featuring Loud Guy screaming 'NAUSEA, HEARTBURN, INDIGESTION, UPSET STOMACH, DIARRHEA... YAY! PEPTO BISMOL!', "Smile", "Out of My Mind", "Black, Red, Yellow", "Happy When I'm Crying", "Yellow Ledbetter"...

    Thousands attend the show, thousands buy the bootlegs, and now thousands can experience the tender rear-entry of a new conducive form of capitalism. Maybe Merck will advertise everytime the band plays "Habit", or National Guard will actually advertise every time the band plays "Army Reserve". The new motto is 'Army Strong'. How friggin' unreal is that now? Army: Strong. Weather: Mild. Lemons: Sour.

    I'm not going to deny there is a certain strength to the US Army, but on 'all of this Green Earth', as the promo suggests? I personally think our slip is showing: if googlefight is indeed as accurate at soothsaying as it's touted to be, pornography + rickshaws could almost wipe out the US Army.

    Oh, and not that the Advertisement is SEXIST or anything, but did anyone else notice the tagline 'And the strength to get over yourself' follows and is preceded by footage of a WOMAN scaling a wall on the objectives course? Subtle, Army... (Army, subtle)...

    here's the link if you want to check it out:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSbCnWe6e1o

    I'm an intelligent human being, and I'll say this: T'ain't never not scaling no walls, ever. Lessen there promise be pornographies in rickshaws on the other side, y'all take off, Army.

    Yours in opium tea and sympathy,
    Deadbeat Tired

    People singing with accents? OK.

    Some guy yelling, "EDDIIIIEEEEE!"? Sure. (But not in my ear and not all over the boot.)

    Some guy yelling lines he seems to have learned phonetically from Arnold Schwarzenneger movies (e.g. "I'll be back!" WTF?)? Definitely no.

    Audiences who have no rhythm when they clap or sing? This is when I'm embarrassed to be French. :cool:
