Boogoose posted:Inappropriate music choices in ads is something that really annoys me. In the UK there was an advert for iPhones that had "Gigantic" by the Pixies playing. I don't see how watching a black man have sex with a white woman and feeling envious has much to do with phones to be honest with you, but I'm not in marketing. I think the O2 network used "Ante Up" by the M.O.P. to sell phone plans, because committing violent robbery is something I want associated with my mobile phone provider. I'd love to have a job where I match up the most superficial reading of a popular song with whatever pointless poo poo I'm trying to unload on the general public. The trickiest part would be keeping a straight face while saying the word "synergy". The new iPhones' main selling point is that they're bigger, a song about something Gigantic is the perfect marketing. Nobody knows/cares about the original intent of the lyrics.

Inappropriate song choices are totally fair game. I'm not the thread police, I'm simply saying it's neither a 'dumb move' or an 'idiotic marketing campaign'. It's a perfectly reasonable, even good choice of song for a campaign. You'll be posting about every ad in existence if you are posting about song lyric interpretations and them not applying exactly to the ad. Edit: If it's like a band like Rage who's primary thing is their political stance being used specifically by the people they oppose that's a dumb move.
