fan the pickle

Is it possible this pickle, so green, so bumpy, so simple, could gain more fans on facebook than the Canadian rock outfit Nickleback, so Canadian, so Canadian, so Canadian? When I saw my little brother join the facebook fanpage I immediately joined as well. Though I enjoy breaking into Nickleback vox-stylings and chord progressions in the middle of band practice, the goal there is to be obnoxious. There's nothing I'd like to see more than a victorious pickle. Apparently someone's already making t-shirts in honor of our little pickle-who-could, who, as I write has 788,365 fans. There's also an opposition "crush the pickle" fan page that has 12 fans. Good luck with that. Here's a sampling of fan posts in support of pickle:

I #@*&ing hate pickles but the pickle gets my vote

Pickle is Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!

Will somebody please auto tune this pickle?!

The amazing thing is that this page gains, on average, 100 fans a minute. Nothing against the pickle's talents but I believe this is a reactionary cause. People really hate Nickleback that much. And really, it's hard not to with lyrics like:

I want a brand new house

On an episode of Cribs

And a bathroom I can play baseball in

And a king size tub big enough

For ten plus me

That nugget comes from "Rockstar". I hope he's attempting irony. But one wonders if the band is capable of it. And either way, whenever you hear that voice...Ahhh...the voice! Talk about nuggets. It sounds like he's eternally forcing one out the rear.

But the band has been subject to ridicule before so I'm sure they're used to it. Take this video mash up of a screeching rooster and one of they're kool music vids for instance.

So join the revolution now! Be a part of this cultural movement. People are saying something. Something like: we know there's a lot of music out there and a lot of it's bad, but it shouldn't be THIS bad.

fan the pickle.
