Default Re: Girls

I feel manipulated by this company in that I almost bought one of their products for my daughter. I initially felt that it was a not for profit company or a product made by a scientist or child development expert. None of this is true. The company should be sued for using the song without permission while making it appear that the Beasties supported the ad. Finally the company should be sued for hurting the reputation of the band (making them look like sexists and bullies). Sadly it contravenes the longstanding and last wishes of Adam Yauch.



"A lot of record companies look at the numbers and they'll be like, 'Your first record sold 5 million and your second record sold only 800,000. What happened? You guys fell off, I think the band all feels that the record did really well. Most musicians I grew up playing music with would probably shoot me if I ever complained about selling 800,000 records."
