I don't like the Smashing Pumpkins but that's a cocknose thing to do.

Its not even a good marketing strategy, because I don't think many people are gonna be dumb enough to fall for it. In the long run this will be a huge financial mistake for Reprise Records.

I could be wrong though.

The video they link to at the end is pretty retarded... anyone who thinks they're being clever and sticking it to Billy Corgan by BUYING one of his cd's and then smashing it is pretty much a moron.

Like all the people they showed on TV "boycotting" French wine by buying it and then pouring it down the gutter...

It will be. No one is going to buy the same album three times to get two bonus tracks that they could easily get off of the internet for free. HUGE financial mistake for sure.

Besides, without Iha and either Wretsky or Auf der Maur its not a true Pumpkins reunion, and I refuse to accept it as such.

The only thing that is gonna differentiate Zeitgeist from Corgans solo stuff will be the contributions of Chamberlin.

He said he got it for free at some radio show thing, which probably isn't true and he just made up to counter that..

That especially pisses me off.

Seriously, boycotts are the most lame of lame ideas. Should we boycott the Statue of Liberty since the French gave it to us? Should we boycott all Wolkswagen Beetles because they were commissioned by the Nazis and were based on designs by Hitler himself? Should we boycott IBM for their ties to the Holocaust?

I agree. Though I'm going to download the CD anyway so it doesn't really matter how many versions of zeitgeist are released.

I read somewhere that some people actually boycotted French's (the American mustard producer) thinking it to be French.
