Apparently Detroit Lions fans are so appalled by the decision to have Nickleback — yes, Nickleback — as the halftime show of their Thanksgiving Day game against the Green Bay Packers, they’ve started a petition, which is, well, kind of hilarious. As UMich grad student/Michigan native/Lions ticket holder Dennis Guttman explains it:
This game is nationally televised, do we really want the rest of the US to associate Detroit with Nickelback? Detroit is home to so many great musicians and they chose Nickelback?!?!?! Does anyone even like Nickelback?
Want to sign it? Change.org.
Fight the good fight, Detroit.
YES! (And this is the Packers game, so I might very well be watching..) Sign!!
Fight on, Detroit — you can do so much better than Nickelback. Um, hello, Motown!?!?!?
This is important. Sign it!
Good for you Detroit
Nickleback’s deal with the Devil remains intact..
“Detroit is home to so many great musicians and they choose Nickelback??”
….Was it my mom?
My mom’s friend was talking about this last night and I was laughing so hard. So awesome.
