    Turns out you can watch video with the radio announcer overlaid. I just tried it. Seems to work.

    Is the goal to pick the worst one? Because I'm not sure I can.

    Staind vs. Good Charlotte
    is analagous to
    Kyle Davies vs. Bruce Chen

    Does that work?

    also, this poll is more offensive than anything Sam Hutcheson said in the Irabu suicide thread.

    Lyrics to the Tom Morello version (sung to the tune of MLB theme):

    Concession workers unite and take up arms against Selig
    Revolution against corporate pigs- burn the ####### stadiums down
    Free Mumia and let him throw out the first pitch, you racist vultures
    Move down to better seats- #### the usher, white devil can't stop me

    I maintain that Good Charlotte is the worst band in the world, so I guess I would pick Staind by default. How horrible.

    If you asked me "Is there a band on earth worse than Nickelback?", the first one to come to mind would probably be Hoobastank, and then Staind, and then Sum 41, and then Good Charlotte. Seriously, both of these bands are both horrible and boring. It would be better if they got the guy who wrote "Feel The Heat Rays" to do it, for God's sake.

    Good Charlotte isn't even the best band to include twins in it. I'll go:
    1. The Bee Gees
    2. Styx
    3. The Breeders
    4. The Kalin Twins
    5. The Proclaimers
    6. Doves
    7. Nelson
    8. Tegan and Sara

    Staind and Hoobastank both have some decent songs, which is much more than Nickelback can say.

    The worst band in the world is Three Days Grace.

    Way Down in the Hole Steve Earle, The Wire, Season 5.

    Although, if I'm picking Earle from The Wire, I've got to go with the montage to end Season 2, I Feel Alright.

    One of my favorite sequences.

    Very cool. I don't think I've been in a theater since The Simpsons Movie, but I might have to break that streak this Christmas. (The IMDB message boards claim the trailer kinda sucks; haven't seen it myself, but I'm really just hoping they don't rip away my nostalgia and beat it to a bloody pulp in front of me.)

    It's one of those horrifying blends of live action and motion capture animation.

    I need to get this off my chest, since I was flicking on the news section of MLB At Bat to find out that Sublime's corpse with their new tool lead singer visited the MLB Fan Cave. Is there any sport with worse taste in music than baseball? Whenever music's involved it seems to be one band after another that's 10 years past their prime or plays crappy rock influenced by Creed. Why not get interesting bands? There's enough decent bands out there who would kill for that sort of exposure.

    Waits did write the song though.

    In terms of the versions i enjoy the most, gotta go with Season 1 (Blind Boys of Alabama) and Season 4 (DoMaJe).

    I hadn't heard about that Tintin movie, which must be based on "Red Rackham's Treasure"

    One thing about the books (and it's been years since I read them) is that I cannot remember a single female character besides Bianca Castafiore.
