iPod's New Market Strategy

The new iPod commercial is so obviously geared toward African Americans. Pay attention to the profiles of the roller skaters and we will be in agreement immediately.

The chumps over at Apple decided to go with the song "Feel Good, Inc." by the Gorillaz. Don't get me wrong, the song is great. However, it just feels out of place in the commercial and doesn't live up to it's forebears: Jet, The Caesars, and U2. But listeners beware, "Feel Good Inc." will soon reach overplayed status on a radio station near you.

Gorillaz' second effort, Demon Days, hits record stores on May 24.
