Music: Hate someone? Buy them the “Nickelback Revenge” iPhone app

  • Yeah, yeah, we know what you’re thinking. “Isn’t listening to Nickelback revenge enough on its own? Why do I have to buy an iPhone app to suffer further revenge at the hands of Nickelback?” And to that, we say, yeah, we know. We agree. Which is why we suggest buying “Nickelback Revenge” not to punish yourself, but other people. Hate your ex-girlfriend? Annoying former friend won’t leave you alone? Buy them this app. That’ll solve the problem. source

  • This guy knows the score. Steve Carell totally deserves Emmy love for a show he’s truly made memorable. It’s actually kind of a crime he hasn’t won one. Whoever is holding Carell back from this, destite his massive TV and film fame, get on it. In other news, yeah, the show will likely go on without Carell (barring a massive dip in the ratings or Dwight going crazy). source
