Some marketing campaigns are so bad, they require no explanation. Others cry out for a rousing game of Beat This Caption. (Thanks to Idolator for the heads-up.)

Well..at least it is not inside the loo…haha
Boy that album sure stinks
This marketing campaign gives new meaning to “head” music.
Holy Sh*t!!!! what were they thinking…oh wait..that’s right.. it’s sh*tty!
This winteer… Overexposure has a whole new medium!
Climbing all the way up the charts to number 2 …….
The marketing campaigns for her always sucked. That hurts, but it is not surprising. A good, intelligent, thoughtful singer, songwriter getting shunned labelwise. I personally loved her music, I certainly like it a lot more than 90% of the garbage that is marketed well. That is a shame.
A warning to all the other artists who tell their record company that they are too pooped to do live promotions!
India’s career has gone right into the crapper.
So this is what happens when you’re nominated for six grammy’s in one year and you don’t win one; At least the ad is portable.
She was on Motown and they don’t do good with promotions. You have to self-promote. Now, she’ll probably take her music online to Myspace or own website, which won’t be a bad thing. She should hookup with Prince to find out how it’s done.
Take a sh*t on India.
did motown really drop her???
Jeff, you have no class.
This add is pathetic. And India Arie is tacky for having her picture on a traveling toilet.
India finally gets ‘poop in a group’
That said, it’s a fake.
I see nothing on the web saying that India Arie was dropped by her label. The only thing I can find is that she has been nominated for 3 grammies.. Is this a joke? India Arie is one of the best artists out there, and I can’t believe that Motown would drop her.
India reaches a new low in campaigning for America’s Next Poop Star.
The promotion is more interesting than her music. It certainly was successful in reminding people of her dull ‘neo-soul’. I guess her drab music is the perfect soundtrack for evacuation.
Dropping soon…the new India.Arie
India.Arie.John
India.Arie – Her New Albumn is the Sh*t !
See, that means good for today’s youngens – take a negative and turn it to a positive!
In a new advertising campaign, India.arie decides to beat the critics to the punch.
the new India.Arie it’s Shatastic!
India.Arie – The music is, quite literally, sh!++y.
I can’t believe that there are so many gullible nimrods who missed the fact that this blog entry is a joke.
India.Arie – It’s a great CD…TO POOP ON!
India.Arie teams with Verizon to promote the new Chocolat cell phones: in stores or made by you.
“I am not my hair, in fact, I ain’t sh*t, I’m just happy to be here”
For India.Rrhea
In a recent interview, Indiahera claimed that, “I’m not the average girl on the toilet bowl”.
See…India’s career isn’t IN the crapper…it is clearly on the OUTSIDE.
