So blah blah Calvin Harris is inviting loads of kids to have parties on his single 'Merrymaking at My Place'. Calvin Harris said he will go DJ at the best party. I'm annoyed that I'm giving this the oxygen of publicity, but I have to vent!
Anyway, so some Sony/BMG marketing man has just been on Five Live answering questions on the call to party hard arms. Upon being asked "This isn't very responsible", he replied with:
"Yes, we are asking for most original, not most amount of boozed-up people - we have some guidelines, such as suggesting they don't put it on Myspace & Facebook"
Then when asked about the video having some folks coming backed to a trashed house "Well, it is just a music video". EXCUSE ME PUBLIC SCHOOLBOY! It is a music video with a call to arms attached
"Best Party like this gets rewards..."
Anyway, so the interviewer continued" "Yes, but your guidelines probably won't be adhered to - after all they are partying teenagers"
PR’s reply: "Yes, well it gives us this chance to have national debate on the topic"
What? What? DEBATE on what? Teenager house parties? WHY THE FUCK SHOULD we have a national debate on such a topic?
Maybe the fact that we have gone to war and seemingly killed a country and are looking to worm out of responsibility is worthy of a national debate. Maybe why the whole world seems to be involved in shameless self-promotion and an overconsuming greed is worthy of national debate. Maybe that we have just committed £4billion pounds to new roads and a tenth of that to green initiatives is worth of national debate.
Maybe why the pricks like this are given airtime on the radio is worthy of debate.
This guy is a prick. Even the usually polite anchor lady of the midday news wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible when she realised the vacuous crap he was spouting, was not worthy of reaching the news.
