Nyuk Nyuk Ny-*click*

"TV-B-Gone™ universal remote control turns off virtually any television! It's the ultimate jammer tool for reclaiming public space. It works at airports, bars, offices... any place that needs a break from the idiot box. Clarity of mind, one click at a time. "

Has potential, although I would be upset if someone TV-B-Gone'd me while watching what may be the greatest (and most awkward-cum-bizarre ) moments in public access television:



Man, Glen Benton was awesome when he was all evil n' shit. Now he got fat, writes laughable music and apparently is often seen wearing those ubiquitous "One tequila, two tequila, three tequila FLOOR" t-shirts popularized by the aging "fat n' sleezy" demographic (although I can only empirically attest to the first to points). That doesn't, of course, nullify the fact that the first two Deicide albums were both groundbreaking and brilliant in terms of innovation, musicianmanship (sic?) and vision. Yeah--I said it: brilliant and visionary, which is why those albums will still be significant and listenable in the next 10, 20, 30 years. Actually, listening to the classics of the Florida scene are striking insofar as they do not feel dated or old in any way. If you didn't know the history behind the "Legion's" and "Altars if Madness'" of the world, you would have no idea that they were released almost 2 decades ago.

Can you say the same thing about "Nevermind?"

No. You cannot stop the Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk. It is wrong to do so.
