Re: Pop Songs In Commercials

["Mike G" <mike_ed@msn.com>]

Is it any worse than when you see a movie and see Pepsi or some other major 
corporation being used by the main character in the film as if that's going 
to ruin whatever the story line in the film is ???  Besides, and I know that 
this might be a bad choice considering recent events, but it can't be any 
worse than Great White's hit song " Rock Me " when  they dubbed in the 
lyrics of " The Home Of Rock and Roll on 94-HJY" in a special promotional 
copy the station had made.  But they weren't the only ones, because I 
remember the band also did the same thing with WHEB in New Hampshire.
