BREAKING NEWS ALERT!
On February 3rd, 2010, armed with a black t-shirt with the words, “Life is too Short to Listen to Shitty Music,” Facebook user “Coral Anne” started a group called, “Can this pickle get more fans than Nickleback?”
Some pedantic Twits have refused to join the group, due to the intentional mispelling of the band’s name, and labeled the group simply, “Stupid.” Apparently, they didn’t bother to read the Info page (much like that of “Sorry, I’m allergic to bullshiit,” which some people wouldn’t join because of the intentional misspelling, since Facebook won’t allow you to create a page with the word “bullshit” in the title — how’s that for bullshit?). In fact, the reason is simple:
I am fully aware that I misspelled Nickelback as “Nickleback” in the name of the page. This is because Facebook doesn’t allow you to put the word Nickelback in the name of a page because I guess if someone did it would be copyright infringement.
A mere hour ago, the message was posted on the site’s information Wall:
WE ARE ALMOST THERE!!! I’m at work right now.
here’s the deal, you guys need to report this when it happens to ALL radio stations in your area! My work is playing 102.9 K-Lite FM, and they do play Nickelback all the time, so whoever tells them will be in my heart!!
But, at approximately 11:30PM US/Eastern, it happened. The Pickle’s Page now boasts over 1,413,826 Facebook fans, compared to Nickelback’s 1,413,495 fans.
A mere Seventeen days, and Coral Anne has managed to secure over 1.4 Million fans. An incredible feat! I am thinking some record company should should hire this girl for PR, however, I’m sure that even though she’s dwarfed their records with no Commercial airplay, she’d also decline due to the fact that the majority of Commercial music just sucks a giant left nut.
But, ya know, Coral Anne, if you get bored — I can think of a few places where I might be able to utilize your skills!
(* Shutup, perverts. I meant for work, not that. I happen to think her twisted sense of humor and incredible Viral Marketing skills could be exceptionally beneficial. *)
