I just saw The Rolling Stones - "Paint it Black" used for a Black Friday ad.

This is a song about being in total despair because your girlfriend is dead and you want to join her.

It was a big hit at the time, but is perhaps best known today for being featured in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, a movie about the Vietnam War.

It's been edited in a really clumsy way to sell some product related to football. They took out the sad parts and retained references to the color black.

Bonus: Jesus Jones' "Right Here Right Now" is selling phone service or something. It's a song about the joy that billions felt about the end of the Cold War.

Second Bonus: Sly and the Family Stones' "Everyday People" was about racial integration, a concept we had in boomer times. It was used to sell Toyota cars in the 1990s.

I am this fricking close to becoming anti-capitalist.

This is a strange perversion. They're trying to divide us, exactly the opposite of the point of the song.
