The Modern World Disgusts Me: Part VII...

Far be it from me to criticise marketing people and their ram-their-tawdry-lies-down-your-throat ways if it can make them a fast buck. But here's a thing and HMV, with your in-store Trending This Week section, please take note.

Elvis Presley is not 'trending' this week. He's been quite popular since the mid-1950s when he became something of a big deal, a status he's maintained ever since... and one that not even death has managed to diminish. It may interest you to know that some people even refer to him as 'The King of Rock 'n' Roll', such is his sustained appeal. 

So, please, fuck off with your hipster, shyster, hard-sell nonsense. 

Thank you, very much...
