    Having watched it again, in the very begining there's a young couple who I guess are supposed to be "hipsters" (maybe they're about 20yrs old) watching a slightly older lady ( maybe she's 35-ish ) fill her cart with Folgers. So maybe the idea is that it's "rebellious" to buy this old standard coffee rather than some fancy Starbucks drink. But if that's the case, they could have done a better job of communicating it. The rest of the commercial is factory guys, people in the diner. old lady in her work shop, somebody in her car, New Orleans marching band...it could have been any Folgers commercial from the last 40 years.

    Not controversial, just the cold, stone truth.
    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    Doesnt make him a Genius. Lots of people are much more talented at the technical side. So being fairly talented does not make a person a genius.

    I'm not a huge Kayne fan, but his talent and skill at what he does is hard to discount. I think it would be less controversial to call him a genius if he was less of a sociopath or he used his talent in a musical format that is more accepted by certain segments of the population.
