Imagine there's a Beatles pin. It has your favorite songs (the good ones and something for everyone). Kapow puts in 50 tunes and upgrades the sound (amp and speakers). Stern announces this is what you’ll get for the gold model at $7.5k, along with magnets and spinning record disc plus new rules. Artwork to be improved from the garbage they’ve shown (maybe add a few monkeys).

That might excite me enough to consider this pin. As it stands there is little value offered. Current model might sell at $4k, so at $7.5k it will spend its life sitting in a box in a warehouse beside the platinum and diamond editions in boxes. Sad.

Imagine the Beatles pin - it doesn’t have a catapult that throws the ball 20” in the air like Houdini. It doesn’t have great artwork like Deadpool. It doesn’t have 31 chapters and 5 movies to achieve like JJPOTC. No this is the Beatles - and it has 50 songs. Impossible not to sing along with while you play, because the music sounds like it is coming from heaven. It is a technological breakthrough and is being rolled out in the Beatles pin. It makes MBr sound old school and antiquated. Beatles pin is looking like a squandered opportunity.

Instead, we have Seawitch with photoshopped Beatles art, 8 marginal tunes and allegedly the same normal sound system. This evolution is no revolution, and that SUX.

“Balls” is passé. Thesaurus suggests it can safely be referred to as silver orbs or steel bowlers. Should never be combined with certain words like .. balls deep, balls a-pop-in, blue balls, full of balls, ball buster, silver ball, ball scratcher, three balls, balls of steel, itchy baller or schwetty balls.
