So , erm , "Big Mac" Music
Right , maybe its just me. Maybe i have too rarefied a taste in music , but ...
Since i buy my Big Mac meals anyway (on occasion) i figured i would take advantage of this "Download a free song of your choice from Sony's catalogue with every Big Mac". So i went onto the website ( www.connect-europe.com) , i downloaded the software, i went to search , and ....
I couldnt find Weird Al
I couldnt find The Streets
I couldnt find ... basically any song i actually wanted. All there seems to be are obscure German bands, TONS of spoken word, an entire Army of shitty, manufactured pop, and the inevitable albums from yesteryear that you now find in a bargain bin at HMV for £3.99.
How the **** do they expect any business whatsoever if their back catalogue of worthwhile songs can be written on the back of a postage stamp?

Re: So , erm , "Big Mac" Music

ITT Kura tells us that the reason he's fat is 'cause he eats shitty burgers.

ITT, we are unsurprised by Dace's appearance as soon as we mention "Screaming Little Girls".

Re: So , erm , "Big Mac" Music
ITT I point out that the screaming they'd be doing around afforementioned manufactured pop groups is an entirely different sort of screaming to the reaction Dace would get.

If it sounds too good to be true then it usually is.

Anything from sony's store is ATRAC3, the shittest and most proprietary audio format I've yet to encounter: It only plays in sony software or on sony hardware.

Re: So , erm , "Big Mac" Music
Murder and violate Sony exec's and tear the company apart. Having delt with them, having colleagues still working on supporting their products, I can safely say they are the most hideously over-rated company ever. They have plans....plans that will fix you all good!
They are evil, as pointed out, they have their own formats,have shit products that they hock to unsuspecting people. Make inferior brand electronics yet no-one realises this. Take advantage of customers, jack up prices, treat people like shit.
So it's no supprise that McDonalds and Sony have jumped into bed together. All they need now is Saddam Hussain and Satan in there and they have the largest gayest most disturbing depraved grouping ever.
