Nickelback Knows You Hate Them, Will Still Play Thanksgiving Game Halftime In Detroit

It appears that Nickelback is now self-aware. They made this video with Funny or Die that is pretty funny. It also points out just how absurd an online petition to keep Nickelback from performing during halftime of tomorrow’s Detroit – Green Bay game actually is. Just look at this earnest testimonial from the petition page.

Guh. This guy is the worst. I don’t care how sick you are of Nickelback, this guy is worse. Acting like the Thanksgiving day game is some annual showcase for the city of Detroit. Over the last 7 seasons the Lions have averaged a 21 point loss on Thanksgiving. You want to say Nickelback sucks, that’s fine, but shut up about how proud your city is. There is nothing as annoying as civic pride. Especially fake civic pride from some jackass “professional music producer/engineer/songwriter” who is “happy to offer suggestions.” This year I’m giving thanks for all the people that I hate.
