The song sounds more like they just recorded some sound bites (something you might hear on a radio station, "This is X and you're listening to Y") from artists and celebrities and slapped them on a cheap advertising jingle. There are some lyrics, but the singers are some random studio musicians.

The last person who suggested they reduce prices to be competitive was beaten to death by the Duopoly of Coles/Myer and Woolsworth. Then the corpse was kicked by Gerry Harvey (who seems to enjoy beating dead horses).

So a horse suggested that retailers should reduce prices? Australia is stranger than I thought.

An antivirus company saying that Windows in insecure would be like BP saying that we should all switch to solar power and stop using oil.

Actually, BP probably wouldn't mind. Despite the conspiracy theories, "oil" companies don't hate alternative energy sources - they're actually large investors in wind, solar, etc.. After all, they're not in it for the oil, they're in it for the money. When solar starts getting big(ger), it's mostly the same cats who will profit. Oil just happens to be easily exploitable at the time.
