scott stapp and why he sucks

remember that meme about how scott stapp is a douchebag who had his sister drive him to florida to get it on with some girl he met in an airport, but it turned out it was a huge prank. yeah, well, that's a pretty good reason as to why he sucks there.

this whole ad thing, though, prompted this. the thing with the ads..well...are we selling out, i guess is the question.

i think this excerpt from an interview with Henri Lefebvre (who will probably not get an ad) about the Situationists might shed some light:

I remember a whole night spent talking at Guy Debord's place where he was living with Michele Bernstein in a kind of studio near the place I was living on the rue Saint Martin, in a dark room, no lights at all, a veritable. . . a miserable place, but at the same time a place where there was a great deal of strength and radiance in the thinking and the research.

K.R.: They had no money?

H.L.: No.

K.R.: How did they live?

H.L.: No one could figure out how they got by. One day one of my friends (someone to whom I had introduced Debord) asked him, "What do you live on?" And Guy Debord answered very proudly, "I live off my wits." [Laughter.] Actually, he must have had some money; I think that his family wasn't poor. His parents lived on the Cote d'Azur. I don't really think I really know the answer. And also Michele Bernstein had come up with a clever way to make money, or at least a bit of money. Or at least this is what she told me. She said she did horoscopes for horses, which were published in racing magazines. It was extremely funny. She determined the date of birth of the horses and did their horoscopes in order to predict the outcome of the race. And I think there were racing magazines that published them and paid her.

K.R.: So the Situationist slogan "Never work" didn't apply to women?

H.L.: Yes, it did, because this wasn't work. They didn't work; they managed to live without working to quite a large extent -- of course, they had to do something. To do horoscopes for race horses, I suppose, wasn't really work; in any case, I think it was fun to do it, and they didn't really work.

So that pretty much explains my view on it. Of course, this isn't the 60s in Paris, so things don't really work like that anymore. So, we'll make a few dollars (if that) and we'll still have to work.
