Five bottle caps per mp3… madness

Paris Lemon says it all.

A big story today is that Amazon is teaming up with Pepsi to give away 5 BILLION songs through the AmazonMP3 service starting in February 2008. 5 billion is a huge number, that’s great. The devil is in the details though as you’ll need to collect FIVE Pepsi caps for each song you want to download – is this bottle cap inflation? What happened to the 1-for-1 deal that iTunes has offered a couple of times through Pepsi?

In the 2004 iTunes/Pepsi promotion, only 5 million of the 100 million tracks offered were downloaded (that’s 5%) – and that was on a simple 1 bottle cap for 1 song deal. If people have to collect 5 for each song, expect this percentage to go way down. Not only do I not drink nearly enough Pepsi (or any Pepsi for that matter – I’m a Coke guy), there is no chance I hang on to 5 of those scuzzy bottle tops at a time. Imagine if you want just 5 tracks, that’s 25 bottle caps sitting on your desk, that’s a lot of space.

Just as Molson got in trouble earlier in the week for basically promoting binge drinking of beer – Pepsi is now promoting binge drinking of soda. You want that entire new Killers CD? That’ll be 85 bottle caps (17 tracks times 5 caps a song). For all the talk of the obesity problem in this country and what a large part sugar-rich soda plays, encouraging kids to drink 85 of them to get one CD seems like a truly awful idea.

Here’s an idea Pepsi and Amazon: why not only put the download codes under the caps of your sugar-free beverages. If you want to be greedy, at least try to do some good as well.

Idiotic.

Holy Crap

I… I just can’t find words for this.

Damn I’m Pissed, and other stories

Interpolonlin, one of the many forums I go to is broken. It happens to be the forum I postwhore the most on (yay for postwhores!).

Table ‘mem’ is marked as crashed and should be repaired

I wish I knew what exactly that meant… This isn’t the first time it’s crashed for a while, but jeez, this still pisses me off. It might take longer for it to come back on now, cos the admin is a bit busy with uni, so it may not be back up until at least sometime tomorrow or later, as in, really late, tonight. damn damn damn. I want to postwhore damnit!

I’m downloading a live bootleg of Girl Talk right now, it’s almost done, I hope it’s good, I keep hearing good things about him, well, a lot of bad things too…. but mostly good. Either way, it should make me dance like a motherbitch anyway, and that’s all that matters sometimes.

ooh look, it’s just finished. goody.

My HomeEc teacher needs to lighten up. She was showing me how to do a stitch, and I looked at my watch for, like, a nanosecond, and she tried the whole “evil stare” thing (and failed) and said she “may have to band that watch” I just wanted to know what time it was, Jesus.

Twinings: Not so subtly racist?
I’ll never watch that ad or say ding-a-ling the same way again. :O

Under The Gun is my favourite song of the moment. Nothing like a good sing-along chorus.

KILL ME NOW KILL ME NOW KILL ME NOOOOW 😀

Wow.

According to this site, this blog is 53% Evil, and 47% good.
I suppose this means I’m mostly evil, which basically ruins my chances of ever being a superhero. :p

But hey, I got cool buttons!

This is basically how the site works, and how it figured out how evil this blog is…

The Gematriculator is a service that uses the infallible methods of Gematria developed by Mr. Ivan Panin to determine how good or evil a web site or a text passage is.

Basically, Gematria is searching for different patterns through the text, such as the amount of words beginning with a vowel. If the amount of these matches is divisible by a certain number, such as 7 (which is said to be God’s number), there is an incontestable argument that the Spirit of God is ever present in the text. Another important aspect in gematria are the numerical values of letters: A=1, B=2 … I=9, J=10, K=20 and so on. The Gematriculator uses Finnish alphabet, in which Y is a vowel.

Experts consider the mathematical patterns in the text of the Holy Bible as God’s watermark of authenticity. Thus, the Gematriculator provides only results that are absolutely correct.

Load of silliness really, but, hey, it’s fun!

Holy Crap

I didn’t realize that LEGO sculpture was a competitive sport, able to be won utterly and without challenge, but apparently I was wrong…

Excitement!
