Uh, right. That's why it's ironic. This song is about disliking pictures, in a backhanded way. So it's a "great ad campaign" that HP is using it? That depends on how you look at things. I don't think the song is hurt by the move, but it's sort of silly.

by happytreefriend89 on 05-16-2005 @ 05:57:39 PM I think its a little sad how the parents have to use pictures to prove they loved each other a long time ago. I don't think it was really sad... I think if anything it was pointing out the naivety of young love. Of course pictures can't prove your love, but... why do younger people tend to take so many of them?
