Just another great day in #ocrjudges. You can view the full post for our conversation a few minute ago on this Wisconsin Kia dealership commercial, featuring original track “Inferno” by zircon:

[19:00] JJT: oh
[19:01] Fishy: i don’t understand what made them put those two things together
[19:01] JJT: maybe they like game music and skate tutorials
[19:01] JJT: or more likely, they were looking for music they won’t run into copyright issues with
