FYI this is the song
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also doesn't seem like it was paid placement
Oh, good. So it's not paid stupidity, it's genuine stupidity.
It’s interesting. There are many songs from over the years about products the song writer likes.
I’m thinking about beers, and cars, and instruments, and various other things. Including games and movies and books.
It’s funny that once it’s a website, that crosses the line.
The Who did an entire album where they jokingly plugged products, including on the album cover.
It's not the website part that I find stupid. It's the advertising for free.
I also think that those things are stupid. Whatever company owns the product isn't going to be happy if you take it for free, so don't give that company something for free.
