Hey Hey We're The Arctic Monkeys
Indie favourites the Arctic Monkeys have reportedly snubbed this years Brit Awards.
Show organisers were reportedly desperate to sign them up for a performance at the event, but the publicity-shy band turned them down.
They hit the top of the charts last year after what is known as a viral marketing campaign on the internet, with their single, I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor.
It is rumoured that the four-piece are not comfortable appearing on TV and have vowed never to perform on shows like CD:UK or Top Of The Pops. Okay so it may be the year of the monkey but they had no right to call the Brits and I quote "un-cool" Didn't you boys hear who else was playing?
Kaiser Chiefs, Gorillaz, Jack Johnson, Coldplay, James Blunt and KT Tunstall.

WTF is a "viral marketing campaign" *admits to copy and pasting content off an ITN news website*
Bon Says:
it's where something cool is distributed on the net and its picked up by blogs and social networking sites and thus gets advertised.
Wikipedia Says:
Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that seek to exploit pre-existing social networks to produce exponential increases in brand awareness, through viral processes similar to the spread of an epidemic. It is word-of-mouth delivered and enhanced online; it harnesses the network effect of the Internet and can be very useful in reaching a large number of people rapidly.

Viral marketing sounds quite disgusting actually!
But I second the point that the title to this post is great, even if the Artic Monkeys are far too over hyped.
