Hey, I thought that was great.  Speaking of 25-year-old hipsters, why
don't you tell everyone what you were watching - Friends!!!!!!

Don't feel bad, I was watching it too.  That and the Simpsons are my
favorite shows.  Anyway, you must've missed the next one.  They used a
song by Fluke.  Damned if those two commercials didn't make me want to
buy a way-overpriced Golf with a new hairdo.

I'd rather see my favorite songs whored for a couple of bucks than
another Rolling Stones song.  It'd be nice if our bands made enough
money to keep making records.

One thing - why do only the European car companies use this type of
music in their advertising?
