Attention all Prince fans!

I don't see an "artist" going out of his way to hurry up and pimp purple shave soap before the dude is even cold.  I could be wrong, just because a guy is an "artist" doesn't mean he cant be exploitive and low class.

do you not think that the media outlet running stories about Prince aren't making money and driving hits to their sites? what, then, is the difference?

At the end of the day, although tacky as heck, is not like I'm going to order anything from that company, so it is time for me to get in my little red corvette, wearing my raspberry beret, and go party like is 1999.

I don't have cable, live too far in the country for rabbit ears to pick up local TV, get my news rather selectively from the net, don't have a landline phone, don't Facebook, Twitter etc... Literally, my only social media outlet is shaving and fishing forums because I am generally kind of anti-social. I have enough "moral outrage" to spread around evenly, and am comfortable with my position without worrying that I am a hypocrite.

the point is, you're criticizing some soap maker for being 'exploitative' and 'low class' while tons of media outlets - whether on TV or online only - are doing the EXACT same thing to make money and draw people in by running stories about Prince rather than selling some soap.

I don't even know who this Shaver Heaven fellow is...

That is a perfectly good point, but I wasn't defending TMZ or the NY Daily Post here, and we weren't talking about the media in this thread. If we were, I would probably elect to keep my mouth shut in an effort to not be banned for uncouth behavior, because I despise them much more than some schmuck selling purple soap.

Two wrongs don't make a right, and pop culture is generally disgusting to me.

I will officially bow out, as I was not trying to start an argument.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, just pointing out that we need to at least be honest about the situation.

I don't see an "artist" going out of his way to hurry up and pimp purple shave soap before the dude is even cold.  I could be wrong, just because a guy is an "artist" doesn't mean he cant be exploitive and low class.

Not even close Andrew and you know it.

Have you seen Prince's face on any tangible product without his permission? Not me.

I highly doubt every single news outlet has reached out to the Prince camp to see if they can use his images and write about him to make money and drive tons of traffic to their site (most of which run ads).
