I Want to Violate You
Nine Inch Nails is giving away its latest album for free here. I downloaded, but have yet to listen...and will probably not be terribly motivated to after hearing Matt's review of it last night.
"It sounds like a video game. Just like all their albums have sounded like video games since [INSERT ALBUM NAME I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF] they made the soundtrack to Quake."
So, cool. That's nice.
I can jam to Pitfall.
Totes.
But the reeeeallly strange part of it all is that today and yesterday, Nine Inch Nails has been the featured sponsor on a frightening site called The Skinny Website. Granted, I know this because I read it, and I read it because I have no morals, but that site is skeeeery in its nitpickery of celebrity weight loss and gain. Whoever's handling the ad-buys or PPCs for Trent and the gang is way off-base with this one. Not only wouldn't I want my brand associated with a site like that, but judging from the comments, I would surmise that the average, pro-ana, 13-year old, tres misérables reader of a site like that isn't exactly NIN's target consumer.
Bow down before the one you serve? Well, maybe next time.
