Yes, it shouldn't. Because they straight up stole the music.

Stop using ****ing generic ringtones at the start of TV ads.

In before, you watch TV ads?

It's a hockey game live on the tube and then someone's phone starts ****ing ringing with a terrible ringtone and it's an ad.

Posters in the forum who don't want to click on YouTube links because they are just there to be clicked on instead of the YouTube video being embedded... takes the same amount of time...

But then they have extra time to post that OP's don't know how to embed YouTubes but should.

Without embedding my browser opens a new window and it's a pain.

Incorrect. They sought permission first, and were given permission, to have the deal reneged on afterward.

Also, the music actually sampled was a background track from an Andrew Loog Oldham Orchestra record and was neither played nor written by the Rolling Stones.

Of course, none of this was the fault of the Stones either, but of legendary jerk lawyer Allen Klein. He probably got most of the royalties himself as well, not sure if Jagger or Richards got any.

They were given permission for a very small sample. They used a bit more than that. Oldham also had to sue because they didn't pay him.

A realistic version of that video with no music in the background would go a lot differently.

A chick with an Australian or maybe British accent telling me to buy a Lexus to make it a December to remember.

Australians who think their accent is sufficiently different from the British accent that I should care

Americans who are so subconsciously impressed by an English accent that advertising companies use them to sell **** to them.

The base 10 system.

Base 12 is obviously superior. If baby jesus's sky dad was an intelligent designer he'd have given us 6 digits on each hand.

People who arrive at airport baggage counters with poorly packed bags and then repack whilst at the counter.

You should be forced to either pay up or go to the back of the queue.
