ReZourceman Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Anyone else fucking pissed off with this shameless phone promotion bull shit. It fucks up some good videos, and ....well on others its expected, but the videos are shit in the first place. Its almost always one of two pointless as fuck things aswell. ; A) Usually one of the supporting "characters" of the video will come along, get out a phone, and watch the performer/s on their 3G phone. Utterly pointless. B) Sending a text or whatever the fuck who cares. Its just so incredibly pointless and shameful. Do they really get that much money for doing so that they would want to fuck their video sideways? Screw dat shit yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killthenet Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Music videos are already adverts for one thing, why not be adverts for many things? Product placement in music videos has been going on for years, why start moaning about it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Why does it matter? The money they get from it will help them make even better videos in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 No, I understand and hate it. When music videos can be amazing, they make them shit anyway. However, it's mostly shitty R'n'B or chart music anyway, which usually have pretty bad/generic videos anyway. I'll slit my wrists the day someone REALLY good starts impromtuly texting in the middle of a video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Music video's are shit anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Music video's are shit anyway. One of the most flawed opinions ever. That's like saying; "Fruit is shit", because you once tried an orange and didn't like it. But there's LOADS of different types of fruit you hadn't tried.

Dante Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have stopped watching music channels because alot of bands or artist are on after one another on the 10 channels or a show will be on or a phone in quiz shows or hip hop/rnb music videos on every music channel also the mobile adverts between the music are annoying.

Monopolyman Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 In this modern day of capitalism and advertising, there's product placement is pretty much in every form of media you can think of. Mike Myers even made a clever joke about it Wayne's World. Trust me, theres much worse product placement than what you described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What music videos are you watching? This kind?; ...Or this kind?; ---- If you watch MTV (If they still do music), you'll most likely find shitty ones like the first one. If you delve a bit deeper, you find ones like the second, where it's video art connected to audio art, rather than just an advert/vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
