When you look like a diseased Leo Sayer, life is hard enough. You don’t need to release an LP stacked to the rafters with such benign saccharine filth that your coyote-ish features become a welcome distraction . . .
Shame on the person who made this. Shame on the people who release, market and play this. And shame on anyone who buys it.

LOL, I saw this too. Actually, there were 2 videos they showed.
My wife said, "I want to buy the CD just so I can set fire to it and watch it burn." That, and that the video made her nauseous.
