Rob Walker of Slate's Ad Report card deconstructs BuyMusic.com's latest advertisements, calling them a of Apple's iTunes Music Store Ads: "...BuyMusic is explicitly interested in underscoring that its service is a copycat. And that message ignores the fundamental truth that advertising is a form that's essentially antithetical to self honesty: It may be true that in real life 'the rest of us' are trend-followers, not trendsetters—but none of us like to think of ourselves that way."

...the farce that is known as BuyMusic.com has been exposed; stripped to it's simplest form -- garbage.
