This? Really. THIS!?

They just keep selling out

Do whatcha gotta do. Christ, it's not like MTV plays videos anymore.

No kidding. Whatever happened to music videos on MTV? Now that channel and its' spin offs are a waste of my television menu. Adam Curry is rolling in his grave right now.

00ghost27: They just keep selling out

So if someone says to you "hey, here's a shiatload of money for farking around and doing what you love" you're going to decline it?

I love those Geico cavemen -- funny as heck. Too bad the TV show didn't work - lousy writers/writing. The concept could have definitely been a hit show if it was handled well.

Nope, I would sell out in an instant. But they are especially good at whoring themselves out

We had a BBQ shindig at work yesterday. Lane, our office manager is always the unofficial chef. I found a pic of one of the Geico caveman decked out in a chef smock brandishing the BBQ utensils in a ESPN magazine ad. I cut it out and added the caption "It's so easy even Lane can do it." I guess he didn't find the humor in it. He really needs to lighten up.

Of course, doesn't saying that they're "sellouts" imply that they had some form of artistic integrity at one point? Not quite sure about that one.

(Their instruments are not so much tools like paint brush is a tool. More like a computer running Excel.)

Are you retarded, or was this your attempt at Swiftian humor?

I saw that show once or twice. It was really stupid. Probably not very expensive. Slightly interesting. I'm surprised dumb-Ass America didn't like it.

I mean, shiat, it was just about as good as friends. And more interesting -- it had cavemen in it!

You're the moran who watched it "once or twice". Americans were smart enough not to.

If that's not selling out. I mean... WOW.

THIS!

It's bad enough when bands sell out to commercials in general, but using that as a premise for a video? Sad.

//Now have lost respect

People here on Fark complain about Nickleback being complete and utter shiat, but damn. 3 Doors Down easily has them topped. I haven't heard a single song of theirs that doesn't sound exactly the same as the rest of their songs.

Pop radio loves consistency.

3 Doors Down and Geico Cavemen in the same commercial? Well there you have it, the greatest moment of "suck" on television EVER.

Watch != LIKE

It was a train wreck of a show. I watched out of some sort of morbid curiosity, as if it were a study on what NOT to do, etc.

Friends was shiat, too, by the way.

That's my point. TV is retarded. Americans are retarded. I don't understand why those retards didn't like that retarded show.

For farks sake, that show was 10x better than American Retard, I mean Idol.

00ghost27: They just keep selling out

They're not selling out; they're just moving from a career as a "thorougly modern American band" to a career as "thoroughly forgettable jingle composers." It's not a sell-out, it's a transition, similar to the transition other bands, like Metallica, went through when they discovered that no one gives a rat's rectum about them any more.
