To the CEOs, the office managers, the engineering managers and all the other folks who can expense extra curricular items. I have a favor to ask. It’s a simple one and it can be easily done. And believe me, your employees will thank you for it. Are you listening closely?

Please please please stop buying your companies ROCK BAND.

I don’t need to hear the support manager try and keep the beat on the drum pads, which I can hear him slamming because they didn’t turn the music loud enough. I don’t need to hear him rush the beat and then fall behind the beat while he takes a swig of his beer.

I don’t need to see the awkward founder type trying to live out his rock star dreams from childhood. I don’t need to watch him fail horribly because he can’t get comfortable “rocking out”.

I don’t need to hear the Chief Scientist try and sing Nirvana’s In Bloom. I know it’s not punk rock and all to sing in key, but Kurt Cobain could actually do it. I don’t need to hear her butcher the tune while the support manager is still trying to keep a beat.

So please stop this type of abuse and give the $150 for the game to some charity. Think of the children.

Oh god. They trying Gimme Shelter now.
