  • O, Pioneers . . . you suck.

    I'm sorry, but that O, Pioneers jean ad on television is just an affront to the literary snob that lives inside me.

    They're disgracing Walt for the love of all that is holy.

    It's just crap.  Let's take some monumental poetry by one of America's best and sully it with some GenY emo scenes.

    Whoever made that ad needs to be kicked in the junk.

  • I haven't seen that ad, but it sounds like I wouldn't like it much!

  • I have not seen the ad, however, as one who worships at the altar of Willa Cather, I have passed along your expression of disdain with the hopes that she will take some action to redress the insult to her genius as well.  Corrective actions from the grave are soooooooo much more efficatious than the run-of-the-mill copyright infringement lawsuits.  Perhaps she will enlist the aid of dear Walt for the double whammy .

    Peace, Jay
