The Moldy Peaches should definitely sue Comcast

...assuming that they're not at the bank cashing checks for recording Comcast's new commercial jingles. I didn't find any evidence to suggest their involvement though, so I'm going forward under the belief that the following is true:

#1 - Juno was a wildly popular (and cutting edge) movie, which had specific appeal to that uber-coveted 18-49 male demographic.

#2 - Someone at Comcast's ad agency (Goodby Silverstein & Partners) saw it...and bought the soundtrack.

#3 - That fella hired a band to make a series of songs about Comcast's amazing spectrum of services in the exact same vein as The Moldy Peaches 'anyone else but you'. And I do mean EXACT.



The unfortunate part of this is that Goodby Silverstein & Partners did a really good job with the messaging and creative on these spots. They're actually fairly arresting. The supporting micro-site is even more compelling (and impressively robust). Just a shame that there's no one in their building with an equal amount of musical creativity.

In related news (ok...probably not) the giant head behind the curtain over at www.comcastmustdie.com seems to have given up his quest to destroy Comcast. Must be a Juno fan.
