Jimi Hendrix energy drink? WTF?

So they've licensed Jimi Hendrix's name to an energy drink. It's called: "Liquid Experience". Turns out there's also a Jimi Hendrix air freshener ("smells like blonde groupie!") plus a Jimi Hendrix Christmas ornament. About the only thing they've sold his name to that makes sense is a Jimi Hendrix lava lamp.

Still and all, for representing someone who died choking on his own barf, you got to give Jimi's estate executors (obviously comprised of ethics-free jackal lawyers who are hellbound for sure) some degree of credit. It's not enough that he was probably the greatest guitarist who ever lived. No. Now we've got to merchandise the poor dead bastard with chotchkes and fucking nick-nacks.

What's next, Jimi Hendrix hemmorhoid cream? They could change the lyrics to "Fire" and make a cool jingle out of it, dont ya think:

Alright!
Now dig this baby!
I don't need to pee,
I don't care about that.
But I gotta go pooh,
Hah, I like it like that.
I have only one burning desire,
To wipe my ass without that fire.

There's also a part of the lyrics where he refers to his "itching desire". Again, perfect for anti-hemmorhoid cream. What, I've got to do ALL the work for the lawyers here? Sheesh.

May they burn for all eternity in the fires of hell - being forced to listen to a 'Back Passage Boys' mix tape on a continuous loop.
