Oh, but they said \"cock,\" so I guess they're as edgy as a giggling fourth grader. I don't know who's stupider, someone who writes those lyrics, or someone who listens to them and says \"this is great!.\" Wait, yes I do, it's the person who listens to them. <b>Those lyrics have gone far beyond the point of being justifiable with a claim that they're tongue-in-cheek. They're not tongue-in-cheek, they're finger-in-nose.<\/b> Period. And did I already tell you that you're stupid if you like them? Okay, I guess I did.<\/ul>\n<p>Ahh...

They need to sit him down and say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153sorry, you sound like a twelve-year-old diabetic with bad insulin regulation. Sit this one out and let the singer sing or we're going to be even shittier than we were before, if that's even possible.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/ul>\n<p>And, as all the cool kids already know, there's more if you click the link...<\/p>\n<p>Also from Something Awful: if you are a serious Harry Potter fan, or are at work, or have little kids nearby, or know what \"Harry\/Snape slash fiction\" means and don't want to see it, or are the kind of person who likes to shoot messengers, <a href=\"http:\/\/individum.com\/snarry\/art\/snaples.php\">don't look at this<\/a>.
