Should I Be Insulted?

[alcibiades_mystery]

When the iTunes "Just for You" Recommendation Engine tells me that, according to my past musical purchases, I should be really interested in Toad the Wet Sprocket? I feel a bit insulted, but should I?

1. Have you ever listened to Toad the Wet Sprocket?

Try the album "Pale" and call me in the morning.

6. Oh, I've heard that crap

Which is why I'm so offended...

[Critters2]

2. Super groovy. 'Nuff said. nt

[astral]

3. I've heard of them

they might be good but don't know! If it was me I'd want to check them out.

4. You have insulted the entire board by even asking that question.

5. unless something is patently offensive

it is wrong to be insulted where no insult was meant.

However, to me 'marketing' is very close to patently offensive. I will tell you when I want to buy something and what I want to buy. I have not asked for any recommendations.

"Toad the wet sprocket' also seems like a jejune or bizarre enough name to come very close to patently offensive, mostly because I am not real clear on what a sprocket is. I mean who uses that word instead of saying 'gear tooth' or something clearer? Sprocket? Sprocket? And what does this have to do with Toads. Is this some kind of inside engineering joke having to do with toadies?

But who knows? I might like them if I ever listened to them. Maybe, but I doubt it.

8. Their name is taken from a Monty Python sketch n/t

7. No, but I don't blame you for wondering

What kind of a band name is that?

:rofl:

9. I love the song "All I Want" (is to feel this way....)

dumb band name, though
