Oh really, Chad? I don't think I'd look all that good with something in my mouth...

If you don't want to read a rant move along. Last week, something happened on Facebook that actually somewhat restored some of my faith in humanity. A pickle got more fans than Nickelback, what makes it such a feat is the fact that it gained 1.4 million fans. That is, however, when shit hit the fan. The childish little girl who made the page decided to take advantage of the 1.4 million fans, (many of whom I can only hope dislike Nickelback as much as I do) to get on her proverbial soapbox and basically advertise her blog. She figured she was so creative that she would gain followers or people to read her blog. She said she was answering some frequently asked questions some people in the group had. I, for one, didn't have any questions. The pickle won, it was funny. And maybe, just maybe some people not just me and my friends know/realized that Nickelback is fake bullshit and simply elicit an emotional reaction from unsuspecting and uneducated radio listeners purely for the financial gain of the music corporations. The little girl who made it painfully clear her name is Coral, (either she changed it wanting to be artsy or her parrents were on drugs) and that she did not hate Nickelback. Well I DO hate Nickelback, they shouldn't have got so famous, they assault my eardrums and yes, they do make me sick. Pickles make some people sick too, personally, I think they are delicious, but it is still the perfect symbol to represent how fucking stupid Nickelback is. The crafty little girl prefaced her note to the 1.4 million followers with a list of charities she thought were worthy causes complete with links. Bold move already, who doesn't like to support worthy causes when they can? But what did that have to do with any of this? She then went on to state how she doesn't hate Nickelback, as well as explain how she completely ripped the concept of the page off from someone else. From there it turns into a rant about how shallow the music business is today, how the Canadian music scene shouldn't be judged on Nickelback and how frugal and arty she is and how much she loves bands like The Used and "artists" like Lady Gaga. Then she promoted her blog. This was not the Coral fan page. She totally ruined the joke, and offended people like me who actually supported the page, sent the link to friends for them to join and actually made an effort to beat Nickelback. I'm sorry they had to read it. I'm even sorry you had to read this but I needed to rant. A post script: of course her note got like 400 comments, a few people like me agreed that she shouldn't have made the fucking thing. Then I saw something that baffled my mind. Several people chimed in that they actually "really like" Nickelbacks music. I personally, really like Black Sabbath's music and I would NEVER become a fan of a page that was pitting a pickle or something similar against them, it's just disrespectful. If you really are such a fan of Nickelback, why did you join a group making fun if it? I really don't understand, please enligten me. Do you know there is other music out there? Why do you like Chad Kroeger and company in the first place anyway? Do you love the way his voice sounds like hes defecating while singing, or is it mysoginistic lyrics like "you would look better with something in your mouth"? Fucking people these days. The joke all along has been Nickelback. If the page was can this peice of dog shit get more fans than Nickelback I would have voted for the peice of dog shit. Use the internet, think for yourself, find new bands, fuck the top 40, and if you do you are alright in my book. If you do all that and still think Nickelback is the bees knees well then I am genuinely sorry.
