Haven't you always wanted a monkeee?




All right. So is everyone in agreement about Gorillaz sucking?

The band has two or three excellent songs, a bunch of crap, and the most brilliant marketing campaign ever. Who needs talent when you have a team of artists carefully crafting you into badassed perfection? It's amazing. It feeds right into the modern assumption that if it looks good, it is good. I mean, if you looked this cool, I'd buy your mediocre album too.

I think this may also be the start of the next big thing. The Resume With Headshot. Because an anime pose of you in Raybands and a yellow suit, throwing up the horns may be just the edge you need over the next guy.
