		<description>Yeah, you&#039;re probably right. I&#039;m sure there&#039;s a group of people in on it. I think it&#039;s kind of funny. It makes me wonder what made them decide to use Hoobastank of all bands as their pawn to the whole ploy. I wonder how many people in both the Mr. Destructo topic and the Hoobastank forum post are actually in on it. It could even be one person registering multiple accounts. Who knows.</description>

		<description>Okay well while I&#039;m at it, it should also be pointed out that it&#039;s pretty likely that most if not all of the negative posts in the thread on the Hoobastank forum were from people in on the joke. That also goes for the mrdestructo blog as well as the people commenting on the mrdestructo blog.</description>

		<description>As an update, that teacher is a Canadian and took umbrage at my assuming he was an American publik skewl teacher.  So I told him that I was sorry I&#039;d assumed he was an American publik skewl teacher and that I was sorry that the Canadian system of schooling is just as bad as ours.

Now that teacher is on a crusade with his school district to have Hoobastank banned from the district.  I pointed out that him showing his 8th graders the goatse was entirely his own fault for not researching the link before he clicked it and for the school&#039;s not having a filter.

Of course, that won&#039;t fit with his &quot;I&#039;m the victim&quot; paradigm and might even endanger his job, so he won&#039;t accept that logic.

He probably believes in Man-Made Global Warming and Al Gore&#039;s Internet too.

Oh well.  

Oh, and just to get in on the grammar topic: I stopped pointing out people&#039;s grammatical errors long ago.  I just skip the badly-written stuff altogether as automatically irrelevant.  I can understand if you&#039;re writing English as a second language (that&#039;s easy to spot), but when you&#039;re only excuse is that the closest spelling bee you ever participated in was via txt messaging...  Ya, you&#039;re too stupid to be worth considering valid in any discussion.</description>

		<description>My initial read said that it was spelled incorrectly but it was actually my error. The spelling is correct. Regardless, the spelling is probably the least important thing to draw from the topic. Unlike the owners of some blogs though, I&#039;m not afraid to approve comments that go against the grain.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s wrong with the spelling there? I don&#039;t see any errors in the thread title, though in the original post I see one case of using an adverb instead of an adjective, one case of flawed subject-verb agreement, and one misspelling of the band&#039;s name. 

I&#039;m sort of guessing that you think &quot;despicable&quot; is misspelled and making a common mistake in thinking it&#039;s spelled &quot;dispicable&quot;, which is incorrect. If this is the case, you probably should avoid correcting people&#039;s spelling in the future.</description>

		<description>Ahh, the plot thickens!  Dang, I was hoping that @Hoobastank_band was real, since those whopping 147 followers would prove the band is flushing down the porcelain bowl quickly.

Nice detective work.  I was too busy making fun of the moron teacher who clicked one of their links in a presentation to his 8th grade civics class and showed them the goatse to do any looking around.

I briefly wondered about a PS on the original pic, but figured it was the lighting.</description>

		<description>Did you see the original image though? http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/9330/1302585527d2267bbfe0508.jpg

It&#039;s obvious that someone did a poor Photoshop rubber stamp job. No record label in their right mind would let one of their bands do that.

I agree though. I&#039;m not a fan of them and I don&#039;t care which way it sways.</description>

		<description>Well, it does seem pretty questionable, but this kind of puts the stank on that account not being Hoobastank:
&lt;a href=&quot;http://j.photos.cx/real-3ae.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://j.photos.cx/real-3ae.jpg&lt;/a&gt;

That is from the Digg discussion, which is mostly a reiteration of the website&#039;s discussion (which appears to have deleted your comment, btw).

Regardless, Hubastank is a stank-ass band and if this finishes off their career: so much the better.  If it catapults them to stardom, I will be justified in having stopped listening to music radio. :)</description>
