Why have you forsaketh me Kareem?

Sigh.

You know, there was a time when I would've applauded Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's involvement in an ad promoting a highly anticipated Smashing Pumpkins album. That time was 1995 when Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness came out, which, coincidentally is the last time the Smashing Pumpkins were “highly anticipated.” But times change, some people need to make a buck, while others need an NBA legend to help hawk their new album. And that's why we have Kareem slam dunking a pumpkin in honor of Oceania.

Sigh.
