Nickelblocked

Awesome. That's all I can say. Awesome.

Aux.tv has created a plugin for Firefox and Google Chrome that effectively removes Nickelback from your internet. The purpose is to "scrub Nickelback from the internet. Permanently." In case you haven't gathered, the plugin is called Nickelblock.

My hatred of Nickelback is pure, it might be the only true emotion I've ever felt in my life. Removing them from my experience is a fantastic idea, too bad it doesn't erase my memory of their great songs.

With such hits like "I'm a disgusting person", "I can only play three chords" and "My lyrics are bullshit", this band does nothing but destroy the legitimacy of the Canadian music scene. We have so much more to offer!

So, Aux.tv, let me personally thank you from all of Canada for wiping Nickelback from the internet.

But, it doesn't end there. You see, not only do Canadians hate Nickelback, but so do Americans. Today is Turkey Day down south, and as is tradition football is being played by Detroit (Green Bay at Detroit). Nickelback is scheduled to be playing the half time show of this game. The citizens of Detroit, however, have different ideas. 

A petition has been started (click here to sign it, a suggestion I'll give you) to stop Nickelback from playing the show. With comments like "Hasn't Detroit been through enough" and "I'll probably never watch the game, but if I can stop one Nickelback gig, I'll have done good", the nearly 55 000 (of a desired 75 000) have spoken out.

Again, this isn't the end of the story. Nickelback, in response has teamed with Funny or Die to respond. The video, shows Nickelback can poke fun at themselves, something I did not think they were capable of.

Interesting developments regarding Canada's most popular (yes it hurts me, I think I had an aneurysm just typing it) band. They suck, and Detroit thinks so, but at least Nickelback can embrace it.
