Lauer Snuggie'd, Coldplay to Get Served?


Did you see that Pepsi commercial during the Super Bowl with Bob Dylan and his modern counterpart, Will.I.Am, rocking the Pepsi generations? Personally, I think equating those two is ridiculous. Everybody knows that Kanye West is the voice of our generation, and pairing West with Dylan only makes sense: you can't can't understand a word either one of them says.

- The Today Show drank a bit too much Kool-Aid this morning, and everyone wound up Snuggie. While Snuggie-skeptic Matt Lauer went so far as to admit the blanket-but-better was indeed warm, his cynicism shined through, noting, “There is not one thing found in nature in this fabric.” The Today Show cautioned per Sec. B-1 for plugging an item from The Don't-Buy List.



- The video above doesn't accomplish much beyond putting on full display the incredible mediocrity of both Joe Satriani and Coldplay. I mean, after all, it's a pretty uninspired chord progression, and it doesn't bode well for Coldplay now that everyone knows a) anyone could have written it, or b) they needed someone else to write it. But the revelation that teams of lawyers with video cameras will be stalking the Grammys to serve the band with a lawsuit is pretty interesting news. Coldplay cautioned per Sec. B-4 for apparently waiting to find out whether or not the chords is question are Grammy-worthy.
