ours is essentially a tragic age

What IS this bullshit?  So, I’m all excited when I get home yesterday because earlier in the afternoon, Beth had placed a brand spankin’ new copy of Dawson’s Creek Season Three in my hot little hands.  I lovingly inserted the first disc and settled into my chair with a pint of Half Baked, ready to commence the teenage drama fest.  I press play on the first episode, enjoy the teaser and feel the warm little rush of anticipation in the one second fade-to-black-fade-up that always precedes the credits and the Paule Cole theme song.  The Paula Cole theme song that fails to materialize and  has instead been replaced, REPLACED, I say, by some other, crappy song that I have never heard before in my life.  What the FUCK?  You don’t just change a theme song for the dvd release…do you?  Why would they do that, why why why?  That song IS Dawson’s Creek:  insipid and saccharine, but somehow irresistable.  Fuckers. 

And, yes, it’s a silly thing about which to be hella pissed, but whatever.

Whoa! Did they change it for the earlier seasons? I can't IMAGINE Paula Cole saying "Well, you DID practically MAKE my career...but no. You can't use my song for season three. Cos I have bigger things going on. And also, I'm a Canadian bitch and I said so."

no, Seasons One and Two have the Paula Cole song. from what i've read, it sounds like it was just too expensive to keep the song--which probably means that the first two seasons didn't sell that well.

You see now this would have a perfect time for a "BLACK RAAAGE" post title. Just this jerks humble opinion.

no, that will be the title of my next post on the feminine hygiene product.

As we have already discussed at length, I am hella pissed too! It's so very wrong. And they didn't just replace it with some other insipid song, they replaced it with a song that literally makes my ears bleed. Well, not literally, but you get my drift. So pissed.
