Desperate Pandora Employees Scrambling To Find Song Area Man Likes | The Onion - America's Finest News Source:
OAKLAND, CA—The headquarters of personalized online music provider Pandora remained in a state of chaos Thursday as frantic workers struggled to find a song that 32-year-old Boston subscriber Dave Lipton would enjoy.

Pandora, which allows users to create virtual radio stations according to their individual tastes, confirmed its employees had spent most of the day rummaging desperately through the miles of shelves in the company's massive 700,000-CD storage facility in search of a track to appease the increasingly fickle Lipton.

"It's called 'Steely Dan Radio,' for Christ's sake—why does he keep skipping over Donald Fagen's 'The Nightfly'?" song-selection associate Lincoln Foster said as he rifled through a laundry cart full of CDs labeled "'70s Jazz Fusion." "We've already thrown three-decades-worth of Doobie Brothers at him. What the hell does this guy want?"

Client: ”I sure like dealing with you Australian guys, I love the accent! Which part of Australia are you from?”

Me: “I was born in and grew up in Scotland. That’s where the accent comes from!”

Client: “Oh my goodness, I’m sorry.. But you speak English so well!”

Along with all of "Moving Pictures," whose "Witch Hunt" was apropos for Friday the 13th
Witch Hunt has nothing to do with Friday the 13th. It, with its references to the witch trials of Salem so long ago, is meant to be an allegory to modern day discrimination through mob rule. In this, it is like The Crucible. It has nothing to do with halloween or friday the 13th, but rather a much deeper Fear (pt 3).

The very mob fear that is dominating the discussions of a certain building in NYC these days...
