Will.I.Am, Pitbull, Flo Rida and other main-stream acts have had a number of product sponsorship out there, but anything besides foods and drinks usually go down the toilet. Another great example of this is Flo-Rida’s “Beamz by Flo”, a laser based “futuristic DJ” system. The same product has been pumped out on the market since 2009, but has had little success now Flo Rida wishes to push the product himself with a little help from deadmau5′ brand — his mouse head.<\/p>\n

In a commercial titled “Even a mouse can play”, a person using the iconic mouse head is taped using the product (if you didn’t know you’d think it was Joel himself). This sparked some ranting from deadmau5 on Twitter stating:<\/p>\n

.@beamzmusic i dont recall agreeing to any terms of you using my likeness and trademark to sell your shitty product.
\n– @deadmau5<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s a pretty sad attempt from Flo Rida and the company behind the product at trying to get buyers. Just sad. Watch the commercial below.
