6 Other Things Jake Shears Said to Piss Off FYE

Best purple sequined stage-shirt blouse-thing ever?

Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters was at a music conference recently and he rightfully spoke some trash about the unreasonably high prices of CDs at FYE. Now Trans World, which owns A LOT of music retail shops (including FYE), won't carry the new Scissor Sisters album (which is a pretty good album, by the way). But the joke's on Trans World though, because Scissor Sisters seem to be doing quite fine without them. As a result, the company is really just pissing off consumers and making themselves look like jerks. You should read all about it HERE.

In the meantime, T.P.O.'s got the exclusive on the 6 other things that Jake Shears, tell-it-like-it-is frontman extraordinaire, ruffled some feather boas by saying to the Trans World suits:

NUMBER 6
"I don't really buy CDs anymore, but I've heard from our fans that it's frustrating and unnecessarily difficult to open the cellophane wrapper of a CD and then take off the spine label/sticker without ripping it or getting sticky fingers. What can be done to reduce this level of frustration?"

NUMBER 5
"Oh yeah, Tiga is totally gay. How did you not know that?"

NUMBER 4
"Remember Wall to Wall Sound & Video? OK, well remember how they'd give you those stickers you could put on a jewel case that would allow you to exchange a CD for a new one if you scratched yours up beyond playability? Now that was customer service! You should really consider using Wall to Wall Sound & Video as a business model."

NUMBER 3
"When I used to actually buy CDs, the security alarm buzzer would always go off every time I'd leave the store, even though I wasn't stealing anything. But the nearest employee would always say that I could go ahead, it wasn't a big deal, and they never checked my bag or anything. This seems like a flawed system to me. How do you plan to remedy this?"

NUMBER 2
"I actually know a guy named Sam Goody who's like this really hot porn actor. Guys, you're gonna laugh so hard when you hear this. Guess how he came up with his name..."

NUMBER 1
"You know what was a gigantic mistake? Getting rid of those long, vertical cardboard boxes that CDs used to come in. Let's do it. Let's bring them back."
