SMU and Their Pony Up Campaign (plus knucklehead video)
Wow, Adam McGill over on Frontburner is taking a beating from the SMU alums on their message board over his comments regarding a YouTube video by a group called the Knuckleheads. I’m only including a link so you can see the video in question, not because I like it.
Because, truth is, I think it’s a bad copy of the Mark Teixeira video we posted a while back. This guy plays a decent guitar, but his counterpart is not funny, and just looks like a creepy hanger-on who wants to be in front of the camera but has no talent with which to place himself there. The words don’t really flow, the tune is a bad copycat of a thousand other home-made hits.
Truth be told, the only reason this video has any traction whatsoever is because a bunch of daddy’s-money, wanna-be intelligent, Dallas douchebags jump at the chance to root for their athletically-challenged alma mater. The video is bad, the campaign doesn’t make sense when it looks like a pony logo that’s giving directions to the stadium (I agree with Adam), and apparently the guys on the SMU message board don’t have enough brain cells left from last night at Club Dada to come up with something original.
Don’t get your panties all in a wad just because somebody doesn’t like your lame, copycat song. Just download it into your iPod, put on your running shoes and go take a jog with that cool GPS route-maker that daddy bought you since you don’t have a real job to go to.
Oh, and by the way, I think that Adam did very well for himself. His wife is, as described by Adam, very hot. So, there’s that…
