Kinda molested.

I haven't seen the M&Ms, but they did do neat stuff with the Postal Service track.

I am so glad that I don't watch TV anymore. I think that would make me weep.

I have not seen / heard of the travesty of The The's music being used in an advertisement, but Matt Johnson must be spinning in his grave. And he's not even dead! (bud-a-bing.)

Seriously, that is shocking. It must be some by-product of his Some-Bizarre label being bought by EMI, then being bought by Sony...

I wrote Matt a letter once, which he actually answered about a year later. I am writing a letter about this, that's for sure.
