What Does Teen Spirit Smell Like?
Ads of the World spotted the above ad for Sparrow guitars, mocking Activision's Guitar Hero games.
Thanks, Kotaku .
Does it make you want to buy a Sparrow guitar? Anyone heard of Sparrow guitars? Bring me a Gibson.

I get what they're trying to do but I haven't heard of a sparrow guitar, apparently they're punk guitars; they look alright.

I personally find rythm games a little dull. But this sort of complaint is like putting down recorded music, because you're just hitting a Play button, and not really playing any instruments. Yeah...so? At least these games have an interactive component, right? So really, it's an even less valid complaint.

I love these games. I doubt I will ever learn to play an instrument and this gives you the fun of playing music without having to learn to play music.

Teen Spirit also doesn't smell like advertisement or commercialism.

Neat ad. Not seeing how you're taking this as a complaint though.

Teen spirit smells like shit, probably. Anything teen is pretty damn shitty. So I'd take the smell of "5 plastic buttons" over shit any day.

Are we not supposed to get real-style guitars for Guitar Hero or Rock Bang or something? I know Power Gig has them.

So, you’re saying you’d rather look at granny porn than a nice eighteen year old?

I've never heard of Sparrow guitars, and the fact that they think it's a better idea to advertise with snark rather than the merits of their instruments doesn't make me want to run out and try one.
