Ahh everything* old is new again! it's MTV redux. Combine pop with vapid loaded imagery and a gullible public will lap it up.

* Actually I mistyped it "everythong" the first time but "The Thong Song" was high art.

I'm guessing, yet again, he hasn't the slightest idea what he's babbling about.

WTF? Would be my response...

A white drawing of a palpitating heart on a black background...going thump, thump, thump...

oh hang about, we've got more drawings with some more thump thump thump....

And it was so impressive as a bit of "music", someone decided to make a video game out of it...

I guess I'm just getting too old to appreciate the cleverness of that sort of artistry....
