There is a war going on people and it is a war that is taking place on Facebook. The contest is between Nickelback and a lone pickle.
You know Nickelback: that douchey rock band from Canada that has somehow become popular despite playing the shittiest music since…well I don’t know, perhaps ever. I remember a few years ago someone sent me a music file in which a DJ had mixed two Nickelback songs together so that one played from the left and the other from the right speaker. There was no difference! They were the same song with the same melodies and a couple different guitar rifts. It was like Vanilla Ice arguing that he hadn’t completely ripped off Queen. Come on.
And of course you know The Pickle: that tried and true salty cucumber friend lying dutifully next to the sandwich for centuries. Whoever put the pickle up against Nickelback was smart because while it is an unassuming foe who doesn’t like pickles?
I am happy to report that the Pickle recently eclipsed Nickelback and currently has about 100,000 more friends than Chad Kroeger and company. The best part is that it took less than a month for the gherkin to amass more pals and not only are they making t-shirts to celebrate the event, but someone also got a tattoo of The Pickle.
How humiliating as a band to work for years to build a fanbase and then have so many people dislike your crappy music that they become friends with a pickle – no offense my man – and in one short month said pickle blows you away not because it is so cool, but because you are so bad.
I don’t care what Nickelback says, or doesn’t say in response to this, a couple long-haired, tight shirt wearing rockers will be taking a long hard look in the mirror on that tour bus.
Whoever did this I salute you. I think the next Facebook battle should be a Twinkie versus Rush Limbaugh.
