🔥 #Screw #HomeGoods for buying the memories and goodwill around "Genius of Love" by #TomTomClub for a cheesy commercial.

Do I also say "Screw Tom Tom Club?" Tina and Chris are 72 and 81. If this is their retirement plan, it is what it is. I'll get over it.

You just hate to see it.

If #HomeGoods has spent some money and remixed this animated clip to their corporate ends, I'd be less peeved. But, no. They purchased art and used it but didn't make anything lasting—a contribution to the history of great advertising. The potential was there.

🎬 The 1981 film I remember watching and loving @ #MTV was made by #AnnabelJankel & #RockyMorton (1981).
