stitchedsutures linked this and I just had to share it. It is everything I despise about Nickelback made hilarious, as well as quite possibly the most awesome record review of all time. I've lost track of how many times over the last few years I've had some version of this exchange:
Me: So you like metal?
Other Person: Yeah! I just got the new Nickelback cd!
Me: *facepalm*
To those people, this is for you.

I can't breathe.
Don't worry, you're not alone in hating Nickelback. I hate every insipid note of their "music."

You might like this-it's a skit from Royal Canadian Air Farce, a well-known comedy troop up here. Somehow they got Nickelback to do a parody music video for them. (Sadly this is the best quality version that I could find.)
