2003.10.03 ~08 "School of Rock" ads blitz While the TV ads for FFTA (helpline?) are freaky, the ads blitz for "School of Rock" is now beyond annoying. And an ads blitz it is. I can't surf thirty channels without being spammed by another ad for that frickin' movie. From what I can glean from the ads barrage, the movie seems to have a rather mediocre premise -- fake teacher hijacks classroom for his own end. So why does this movie get a spam campaign that would put MSOE viruses to shame, and yet good indie movies don't? Um, never mind. Hollywood movie and money, 'nuff said. Nevertheless, the ads for this movie is at spam level. Someone needs to make a spamassassin for TV cards. The ads' annoyances are enough to make me want to swear to never ever watch this movie, even if the copyright expires (which would presumably happen some time after Quantum Mechanics becomes a Jr. High topic) and random people tear up the movie into unrecognizable spliced clips. Which is just as well, since I'd be dead of old age before the copyright expires.
