Nickleback's brainwashing technique, illustrated above.Nickleback, widely known and accepted as the worst band ever, could finally be stopped. It's hard to imagine a force of nature strong enough to eradicate a band that's been successfully making music for fourteen years, despite having zero fans. (From the "Rockstar" Wikipedia page: "Aside from its popularity, the song is considered one of the worst song of all time.") But one brave man is up to the task.
For his Kickstarter campaign "Don't Let Nickle Back," upstanding British citizen Craig Mandell is "attempting to ensure that Canadian 'rockers' Nickelback do not come to London, England to play a gig." In a fierce act of national pride, Mandell just wants to protect his country from Nickleback's horrible music crimes and, for only $1, (or $5, $10, or $50) you can help.
For $50 (a bargain), "your donation will result in an email to Nickleback with an attached mp3 of Nickelback's music. This way, the band will hear their own music, and likely retire immediately, thereby ensuring the success of our campaign. You also get the added bonus of not seeing Nickelback. And perhaps helping to ensure no one ever does again."
Apparently, all the proceeds of the campaign, which isn't very much at this point, go to charity or, Mandell is considering, "therapy" for all of Nickleback's helpless victims.
