I blame Iggy Pop for this whole advertising train wreck. "Lust for Life" isn't about a Bourgeois cruise, now is it?

"Here comes johnny yen again
With the liquor and drugs
And the flesh machine
Hes gonna do another strip tease.

Ive been hurting since Ive bought the gimmick"

I was first subjected to the "Island in the Sun" ad campaign while eating some waffles. I guess Rivers Cuomo needed some more cash to help him wallow in loneliness at Harvard again.

Or sell a weekend of unprotected meth-sex with strangers in Las Vegas. Ok, maybe a weekend of consensual sex with a state tested prostitute.
