I will add, if this had been a PSA or even just a short film, they would probably have been totally fine with it and even shared it on their site and various social media outlets. But its an ad. Selling a product. That's where the problem is.

How are the Beasties in the wrong here? Unless they can prove fair use as a parody, Goldieblox used their song without permission. They've always been against having their music used in ads.

Adam Yauch stipulated in his will that he didn't want his music used in any advertisements. Their stance on this has been pretty firmly established in their lyrics as well.

Beasties have always been against using their music in ads. They sued British Airways in the early 80s, years before Licensed to Ill. In "Putting Shame In Your Game" from Hello Nasty Yauch states "I might stick around or I might be a fad/but I won't sell my song for no tv ad" and again in "Triple Trouble" - "and you…

Ooh, I just remembered a good one. My best friend was hit on by the dude from AWOLNation. This was about ten years ago, when he was in a band called Home Town Hero and they were on tour opening for Hoobastank (yeah, I know). My friend has hyperthyroidism and at the time it hadn't been diagnosed. She used to pass out…

No stories of my own, but my dad was friends with Sweet Connie back in the late 70s/early 80s.

The guy from RATM was arrested for that and, if I remember correctly, it was a big factor in the band's break-up. But nobody talks about how he was an asshole to not only the guys from Limp Bizkit, but his own bandmates.

33, but she'll be old enough by the next Presidential election.

This wasn't in sex ed, and it technically wasn't about sex, but it's in the same realm. My senior year in high school I took psychology, and for a couple of months this military guy (I can't remember which branch, Air Force maybe?) would come to speak to us about the dangers of drugs. Every Tuesday. Our teacher…

My husband is a twin and he is too good at snuggling. I'm like "bitch, I'm trying to sleep!"

This sounds eerily like my SIL. She's horse crazy, she's not a metallurgist but does metalworking for fun, and she even looks a bit like the bride in this story. I like SIL (most of the time), but the fact that there is apparently more than one of her is creeping me out!

Your first comment certainly implied that they deserved it.

Man, now I wish I hadn't replied, I didn't mean to promote that comment!

Hahaha, I'd say it's the other way around! ;)

Assuming the Chilli/LA thing is even true, how does that excuse Pebbles & LaFace's screwing Chilli and her bandmates out of millions? Did every other artist on that label that got screwed (Pink, Toni Braxton, Outkast) fuck LA Reid too?

Most of those apply to the far superior Mardi Gras, and the Carnival season lasts much longer than the Halloween build-up. Scary movies are the one thing Halloween has on Mardi Gras.

If TLC was lying Pebbles would have sued them after the first Behind the Music aired, back when Lisa was still alive. They easily could have made her look even worse, like mentioning the fact that they had to buy back their name from her for one million dollars per letter.

Yeah, I wouldn't want death photos of anyone, even if it meant I wouldn't have any pictures of them to look back on. But it's a practice that's existed for well over a century.

I personally find it a bit gross and wouldn't do it myself, but this isn't really shocking. Those are the only photos that she'll have of her kid. Post-mortem photography was pretty common in the Victorian era for that very reason.

It's not that bad, the ones on Amazon are exactly the same quality as the crackers you can buy in the UK!
