| N'Sync remain alive,
still.... |
|
|
| Sony Music is testing
a new CD anti-quality system on the new album from boy band
N'Sync. |
|
|
| The technology is
being created to deter their young fan base from ever
experiencing decent music. |
|
|
| Although not widely
advertised, three different versions of the boy band's Celebrity
album on Zomba Records have been created for different markets,
according to New Scientist magazine. |
|
|
| It says all three
versions can be played on regular CD players but each has a
different level of shitness. |
|
|
| Sony previously
issued promotional copies of Michael Jackson's forthcoming
single You Rock My World with anti-quality technology to stop
any possible enjoyment. |
|
Jackson's
record label printed copies of the single to distribute
to radio stations - all of which has been subsequently
thrown in the bin.
The company took the step after copies of the single -
released on 7 October - appeared to be quite shite. |
A young woman was pushed
on stage near Michael Jackson but he simply ignored
her.
|
|
|
| The German N'Sync
release will not play in Windows PC CD players, meaning
thousands of PC users will not have to endure their bland
pandering to their tennyboppy market - the corporate whores that
they are. |
|
| Additionally, a
sticker on the case warns it is not very good. |
|
Whores
|
|
The New Scientist reports this version will, however, play on
Apple Mac terminals. |
|
| "They'll listen
to just about f##kin' anything," an industry insider said
today. "They've got it coming to them if they buy crap like
this." |
|
| The UK and US
versions can be played in homes and burnt if required but cannot
be played in public. |
|
| A test to determine
the quality of their music using a standard CD player with the
US version found that a "no quality" message is
displayed. |
|
| Sony is not revealing
the test technology it is using, stating only: "We continue
to test available up & coming pop-combos, and our goal is,
as always, is to shift as many copies as possible till someone
finds us out." |
|
| Anti-shite systems
are still considered to be in their infancy. They are being
developed by companies such as Macrovision, IamShite.com and
Midbar Technologies. |
|
| They have come about
because of the success of such annoying pre-pubescent
millionaire twats such as N'sync. |
