PICKLEGATE: A disturbing look into the minds of Nickelback fans
Lead assclown Chad Kroeger of the doucheplatoon Nickelback is crying in a corner somewhere.
Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney and George W. Bush have inspired ire across Facebook, but it is nothing compared to the 1.4 million people who have joined the Facebook group "Can this pickle get more fans than Nickelback?". The group met its goal last week, and currently has a few thousand more fans than Canada's worst export.
Nickelback is upset because this embarrassment has transcended Facebook. Billboard, Heavy and New York Magazine have all made note of Nickelback's fan page brutalization. The incident is already marked as a permanent blemish on the band's Wikipedia page.
What's even more interesting, however, is a Facebook message allegedly from Chad Kroeger claiming that the group has two weeks to digitally thrive before the social network shuts it down. If this is true, this is incredibly weaksauce on the part of Facebook, as it makes a significant step toward quashing what remains of freedom of speech on the network.
