In case you haven't seen it, Pontiac is using a Clash song in it's G6 ads.
I know I should be used to this by now.

Should I stay or should I buy a Pontiac G6?

Am I the only one who really doesn't care about this sort of thing?

MY BABY DROVE UP IN A BRAND NEW CADILLAC.
not a stinking pontiac.
i know they didn't write it, and i know that's not even the song in this commercial. so what. who remembers the guy who did the original version? that's what i thought.
i think my brother tried to tell me about this when i was still at home. i was hoping he was hearing things. this isn't the first clash song in a commercial (it isn't even the first time this song has been in a commercial, more like the 3rd or 4th), and i usually don't care about these things, but.....blaaaaaaaaaaah.
it's things like this that make me hate certain songs. not because anyone sold out, but because whenever i hear it i'll think of the product it was selling. like i can't listen to zepplin's "rock n roll" any more, although i didn't like that in the first place...

who here remembers London Calling in a Jaguar commercial or Should I Stay or Should I go in a Levi's commercial?
one thing worse that having your favourite music trashed in a commercial, is having people tell you how much they like the Clash and their favourite song is "the one from that car commercial" 
Although I like when Anderson Cooper uses "Radio Clash" sound bites in between his segments.
