UNITED BREAKS GUITARS


I love when people find creative ways to get back at big companies when they have been wronged. Here's one such example.

Full Story: http://www.davecarrollmusic.com/story/united-breaks-guitars - In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didn't deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise.

DEF LEPPARD: Free Tickets for the troops!


Def Leppard and drummer Rick Allen's Raven Drum Foundation are giving military veterans free tickets to their summer tour with Cheap Trick and Poison. It's a way to thank them for their service. Rick says, "Our mission with Raven Drum Foundation is to serve, educate and empower veterans and people in crisis through the power of the drum, and music is just one of the tools we use to promote healing. It is so exciting to have my band, family and so many others contributing to this effort."

Military personnel and veterans with a military I-D are eligible to receive two tickets to one Def Leppard show. Tickets are available on a first come, first serve basis through RavenDrumFoundation.org.

BEATLES ROCKBAND


The opening sequence of "The Beatles: Rock Band" game has been released . . . and it's pretty SWEET.


SUGGESTIVE BURGER KING AD


I don't know about you, but when I think of "sexy" . . . I think of Burger King. (???)

If you don't agree with me, then you obviously haven't seen the ad campaign for Burger King's new Super Seven Incher sandwich . . . which shows a woman with her mouth open in a suggestive way, along with the caption, quote, "It'll BLOW . . . your mind away."

CALVIN KLEIN BILLBOARD IS TO SEXY!?!


Calvin Klein unveiled a racy new billboard in New York City, which features a TOPLESS woman lying on top of a shirtless guy . . . while making out with another shirtless guy. And lying on the floor is . . . you guessed it . . . yet another shirtless guy.

Anyway, as usual, some people are saying the billboard is borderline pornographic. But, according to a company spokesman, it's only meant to, quote, "create a very sexy campaign that speaks to our targeted demographic."
People, if you haven't figured it out already, the only reason Calvin Klein puts up these kinds of billboards . . . is because they know prudes like YOU will make a big deal about it and give them tons of free advertising and cool points with the kids.

In other words, if you want Calvin Klein and other companies to stop using sex to sell their products . . . then you need to stop freaking out every time you see an ad that's even mildly sexually suggestive. How can you not know this already?
