AT LAST. PROOF, SWEET PROOF OF THE EVIL OF NICKELBACK
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/mini/CTVNews/1088043146063_64?s_name=election2004&no_ads=

TORONTO — The Liberals might think about playing a lot of Shania Twain and Alicia Keys on the campaign trail to lure young voters, if a pre-election survey by the Dominion Institute is correct.

The institute commissioned Navigator Ltd. to survey 500 young people aged 14 to 18 between March 23 and April 3, asking them their political choices as well as their musical preference. Full details of the poll will be released Thursday.

Half of the fans of Twain and Keys said they preferred the Liberals. Both these groups were overwhelmingly female.

Beyonce fans were also largely female and 39 per cent of them supported the Liberals.

In contrast, teens who preferred the rap music of Jay Z or the rock airs of Nickelback were largely male. While just over a third of them leaned Liberal, 15 per cent of the Nickelback group preferred the Conservatives.


You see, you have a 15% chance of becoming a Con if you listen to Nickelback. Is it worth the risk?

Friends don't let friends listen to Nickleback.

3. "rock airs of Nickelback"?
They make Bon Jovi sound like Motorhead.
ANOTHER reason not to listen to them.

5. someon a while back posted
a link to a site that played two nickel back songs simultaneously, it was pretty funny, displaying that the songs sound the same and follow the same structure.

8. just over a third are liberal
15% conservative


That means that over half are clueless, apathetic sheep


worse than 15% conservative, IMHO.
