...relevant business model for a major studio? In some ways, it already is. MTV Films has been hot of late, co-releasing with Fox Searchlight Pictures cult fave Napoleon Dynamite (made for a minuscule $400,000 and earning 100 times that at the domestic box office) and backing a mainstream hit in Coach Carter ($63 million gross).

I’m suggesting that this song is the best example of how the mainstream music industry machinery no longer makes songs, or records, or even music, but rather commercial media entities. This kind of synergy may be bad or good depending on your take, but it’s undeniable. Bubble-gum pop has always been around to sell itself, but “Toxic” takes that...
