Brandon: The CAKE is a lie!
Ok, I'm sorry. I know by now that Portal references are old hat, or something like that.
Anyway, so apparently Ford and the folks who do American Idol made a really crappy cover of The Distance, by Cake without permission. Thats a pretty crappy thing to do, even if I think that some copyright is overprotected. This isn't a case of someone using a song for their personal use, this is a big company using a copyrighted work for profit without obtaining rights from the copyright holder.

Anyway, thats my rant
Hungry: for cake. The real kind, with frosting and all that.

CAKE is the shit, and commercializing their music (especially without their permission) is about as big a sin as commercializing John Lennon's stuff.
