Wow...always looking for a scapegoat these days. I guess some people just don't bother looking too hard.

Bright Eyes...

Emo...

??????

I was hoping this wasn't serious, but then I saw this comment from the reporter in the comments section

No. But I am looking into the link between Twin Cities power punk pioneers Husker Du and the Mississippi bridge collapse that happened recently in Minneapolis. I'm not ready to pull the trigger yet, but let's just say that Bob Mould, a man responsible for a song called "Dead Set on Destruction" and "She Floated Away," has blood on his hands. Come to think of it, he wrote "Guns at My School," too. I have to go make a call.

This article infuriated me tbh... never has so much pompousness and so much idiocy been combined in one article.

Yeah that was the worst article ever written.

Bright Eyes is like folk/country...

^
Exactly.

Guilty as charged.

Bright Eyes is emo?

This is fucked. You can't blame Conor Oberst for the massacre of nine fucken people.

haha first i thought it was a joke! like iarescientists but... sigh

i have less hope for reporters

I don't even like Bright Eyes - but this is just just post hoc bullshit.

well, you shouldnt only defend artists you like.

nevertheless, this is bullshit.

guy has no journalistic integrity, and i doubt he actually cares about the lives lost in omaha.

Bright Eyes programmed all its listeners to kill people. The signal has been sent and America will soon plunge into peril.

oh come on people, the guy IS joking. this is just really bad satire.

Daedelus -You're right.

But the more I read this, it looks like satire. Really bad satire.

when did bad jokes become news-worthy?

I really hope this is satire, because if it's not this guy is a sick fuck.

I was in the mall when this happened,although not in the particular store,but I don't remember seeing Conor Oberst walking around anywhere.

Im just waiting to hear that Fall Out Boy is being blamed for all of those lunchboxes with the unbelievable lead content

The research the guy did for this article probably amounts to writing down something he thinks heard somwhere when he drunk. Also, he terribly fails at being "witty" (If this is satire, it sucks just as bad). BTW, I think it's pretty hilarious how they used a particularly ugly photo of Conor Oberst, like in those Simpsons news reports.

I was planning to write a rebuttle. Then I read all the user rebuttles on that page and realized they already reemed this guy pretty hard. I can't top that. LOL.

Anyways, this fella just wants to sell papers. I'm sorry I clicked on it and gave them ad revenue.

FOLK! i hate media.
