Travel Agent Commissions (a la Black Eyed Peas rap)

Survey says that "Hotel commission most important income source for agents". See hotelmarketing.com article here. Also Expedia got a revenue boost from hotels as well.

I am reading the article and listening to Black Eyed Peas, so as a hotelier, the question to travel agents comes to my mind:

If we are so important to travel agents, then "Where's the love, y'all?"

(You know this tune. Start singing the following out loud to my edited lyrics below. Come on... You know you wanna.)

What's wrong with the world mama?
PeopleAgents living like aint got no mamas karmas
I think the whole worlds world wide web's addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma cost them nada
Overseas Hoteliers yeah we tryin to stop terrorism push hedonism
But we still got terrorists extortionists here livin
In the USA the big CIA 'pedia the Bloodz Orbitz and the Crips C-Trips and the KKK Travel'ci-tay
But if you only have love for your own race OTA
Then you only leave space to discriminate reduce rate
And to discriminate reducing rate only generates hate leads to disintermediate
And if you hatin compete you're bound to get irate lower rate
Yeah madness is margins are what you demonstrate obliterate
And that's exactly how anger failure works and operates propagates
You We gotta have love the spread just to set it straight operate
Take control of your mind sales and meditate mediate
Let your soul gravitate to the love spread y'all

People killing people dying Agents selling, hotels dying
Children Rev Man'ger hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach promise that you'll not breach?
Would you turn the other cheek? Would you not just slap our cheek?
Father Father Father AHLA... AHLA... AHLA...** help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people agents got me, got me questioning
Where is the love spread...?
Where is the love spread...?
Where is the love spread...?

Now all I need a karaoke machine and a video cam, and this will be on YouTube.
