John Mayer – The Sell Out

Approximately 24 hours ago John Mayer (@johncmayer on Twitter) proclaimed that he would be selling ad space inside his tweets.

Just signed a deal to sell ad space inside my Tweets. Now it’s time to celebrate with one of the many low sodium soups from Campbells!

At first I thought this was just another of his clever posts to spark some interest in his profile on Twitter. I mean how can a man who seems so anti-industry sell his soul to the marketing Illuminati? But then it happened, and its onslaught was swift and fierce:

Guys, I just had an amazing soup by Campbell’s, Steak and Potato. See all of the great varieties of hearty soups – http://tinyurl.com/c4gus8

“@davidvizUT We want authenticity, John!” I hear you. And so do I. http://tinyurl.com/29gfa3

Twitter is one of the few social mediums that I can browse through freely knowing that I will not be inundated with ads at every turn. You have deprived me of that John, I am drawn to your tinyurl and I must click! This needs to end or I will be forced to drop you from my reading list and have to ask you to please not follow me on Twitter @EddieLynn. I will ban you on Facebook and stop feeding your songs into my profile on MySpace.

On the bright side, I guess if I need some soup I will know who to ask.

One Love.
