This is just so wrong on so many levels I don't know where to begin.
Really -- just kill me now. And fuck you, Jimmy Kimmel.

My son loves this game.
I have no problem with the game per se, but whoever licensed Gimme Shelter for the ad needs to be horsewhipped within an inch of their life.
Came in on the middle of this the other night and had one serious WTF?!?! moment. Was hoping is was some sort of parody. Obviously not.
You people are O L D!!!
It blows my mind we can make video games of wars we're fighting RIGHT NOW--light fare! Also, this might be the Stones lowest moment.
If you play "Gimme Shelter" behind footage of kittens playing in the grass, the scene will take on the doomed air of apocalypse.
"Gimme Shelter" is the devil's version of "Yakety Sax".
The woman at 0.14. Is that Kathryn Lopez of the National Review? Also, I can't tell for sure but the guy in the chopper looks a bit like Jonah Goldberg of the same rag.
The Devil's version of "Yakety Sax."
:-)
I'm hoping the Stones lost control of their pre-1971 catalog to Klein... please, God, please...
"You people are O L D!!!"
You're right! And it's starting to suck. I had to see this commercial 15 times (which happened in 20 minutes during a footbal game, actually) before I even knew what I was watching. I kinda hate everything about it.
Impressive firepower though. What music should they have used?
War Pigs jumps to mind, as does Paranoid.
King Of The Hill by The Minutemen.
Something really hard with an anti-war message.
Trey
War as a video game, starring guys who, if they weren't such spoiled brats, would either be over there fighting themselves, or would take a principled stand.
C'mon, give these old working guys a break. Keef only got $7 million advance for his book, and now he's gotta earn that out and wait for royalty checks. It's been five years since the Stones made a record, he had to pay a ghostwriter, he's got kids, mortgages. The Stones aren't Oprah. AP
