First snippet of new Bond theme….

The new commercial for Coke Zero (branded “Coke Zero Zero Seven”) features an instrumental version of the new Bond theme, “Another Way to Die”, written by Jack White….

You can see the commercial here at the Guardian’s website.

Jack White, however, is not pleased, saying that he is “disappointed” the song is being heard for the first time this way, and that he wrote the song for the film, “not for Coca Cola.”

I’m certainly not going to bitch about branding and Bond — it’s been a part of the entire thing since Ian Fleming name-dropped actual brands in the novels. And the music is EXCELLENT.

I can’t wait to hear it with Alicia Keys’ vocals.

Obama Defends “Creationist Psycho Bitch” Remark

(Spotted on Angus’ journal) From the UK’s version of The Onion, The Daily Mash:

OBAMA DEFENDS ‘CREATIONIST PSYCHO BITCH’ REMARK

DEMOCRATIC candidate Barak Obama last night claimed he was quoted out of context after describing Governor Sarah Palin as a ‘creationist psycho bitch’.

‘Less fuckable than a dead pig’

He dismissed the ‘phoney outrage’ of the Republican camp, insisting the remark was not intended to do anything other than draw attention to Governor Palin’s insane beliefs and ugly, bitch-like qualities.

Senator Obama said: "I was simply implying what a stupid, horrible, terrifying freak she is. I can’t help it if people decide to take that literally.

"I was using a metaphor to make the important point that if you want another four years of psychotic, blood thirsty creationists who love sucking the oil industry’s big fat cock, then vote for my opponents."

He added: "I did then go on to say that if Jesus came down from heaven and told me I would have to fuck either Sarah Palin or a pig, you’d have to drag me off the pig.

"Now that doesn’t mean I’m comparing Governor Palin to a pig. What I am saying is that if it’s a straight choice between Governor Palin and a pig, I’m fucking the pig.

"If I then went on to say that I’d rather fuck a dead pig than Governor Palin, that should not be construed in any way as a personal attack."

Senator Obama refused to apologise to the Governor, insisting it would take too long to translate the words into her ‘retarded hillbilly language’.
