about pete selling stuffs

thanks for taking up this issue, aditi,a worthwhile public issue, and one thatlies at the interface of our aesthetic andmoral values and brings to bear on thisissue the serious understanding of mattersof symbolization that you have.no, i don't have ideas about what kindsof protest make sense in a world wherethe public space of dissent has beenhijacked so badly by so many inappropriateforms of discourse that many people nolonger take the appropriate forms seriously.but best of luck.

probably we can start a campaign through Net. We should write in the newspaper. You can post it to your blog.

This just shows how low and petty is the culture of modern technology in relation to the culture of soul and spirit. On the one hand, we can ignore their abuse of culture by saying that since they don't understand, they may as well make clowns of themselves. On the other hand, they cannot so blatantly exploit a revered song for their own little ends and get away with it. I have personally not seen the ad but feel sickened that our modern culture can reveal itself so crudely for the sham and deceit that it really is. If you wish, I can help in writing something to the Chairman or CEO or Head or whatever telling him to his face just what he and his company really are. If he were sitting in his luxury den at the end of a tiring day, would he need a sleek car more than a humanising song? And is such a song meant to minister to a car and all that it represents? The song is superior to the car and always will be. Since this fact is uncomfortable to the makers of our modern world, they will make the song a slave for the march of their products. May they be damned. If you take any initiative by way of a written protest or otherwise, please include my name as a supporter. Thanks so much for bringing up this issue and not keeping silent.

Sorry if i haven't replied, but i haven't been online. First a bit of info on little boxes:Though Pete's version rocks and I consider it his song, unfortunately his version is not the first. It was originally written by Malvina Reynolds, and to add to the outrage, Her version is currently being used by soem american show(Weeds) as their theme song(the show is a bout a desparate housewife growing crack in her back yard!How sad can you get???)Not only that their getting some strange rock bands to perform it i think.... As for using it to sell stuff....sigh...must think a bit more....
