Radiohead and Shit

If theres anything I really hate about iTunes, its the reviews.  People who give one star because their download didn't work correctly.  People who give 5 stars because they like one song on the whole album.  People who give one star to be a contrarian.  People who give 5 stars because they are pretentious.  The whole system is fucked up.  I was browsing through Radiohead albums on iTunes, and i noticed that Pablo Honey (highly regarded as Radiohead's best album), had only 4 stars, compared to the others, which usually have 4 and a half or 5.  And heres why.  Scrolling down to the negative reviews, every single one said how the clean version of Creep (Radiohead's most popular song) was "album only".  Everyone was putting one star saying "i want to buy the clean version for my children because they like the song and it says fuck once in it and i cant let that happen because they're going to start blowing up buildings fuckfuckfuck".   First of all, Pablo Honey was originally not released with a clean version.  Be lucky you even have one.  Its a BONUS track guys.  Pablo Honey appears on itunes exactly as it does normally. except they ADDED a song, so they can do whatever the fuck they want with it.  They even let you buy the normal creep all buy itself!  Just like every other song!  Cover your kids ears when the guy says fuck.  Second, that isn't even a reason to give something one star!  Because obviously you like the album!  What good does giving one star do?  The star rating system relates to the album itself, not how itunes chooses to sell the album.  "Oh, look, itunes misspelled "misery" in Maroon 5's new album.  ONE STAR!"  "On the white stripes's debut album, itunes wrote "jimmy the explorer" instead of "jimmy the exploder".  ONE STAR!"  Fuck you.  Itunes isn't going to say "wow, this guy gave Pablo Honey one star, guess we better make clean creep available as a single!  Pablo Honey is a good album.  Just buy all of it, then you get your pussy version of creep.  I haven't even asked yet why people want creep to be clean?  It was written with the word "fuck" in it, deal with it.  Buy your kids some Justin Bieber, then you don't need to cry about when theres a bad word in a song.  Your kid probably hears the word "fuck" a lot.   Just explain to them why it was OK for them to say "fuck" in that instance.  OR just don't buy them the song, if  you're that much of a helicopter parent.  Just because Radiohead says a bad word, they aren't going to become some sort of deviant and start fucking the dog.
