Führer Trump
Tyler, the Creator is taking a shot at Donald Trump with an Adolf Drumpf line of T-shirts. The shirts feature the U.S. presidential hopeful with a drawn-on Hitler mustache, which, if you think about it, is 97 percent less offensive than Trump’s hair.

Mercurial Egos
Queen’s Brian May has called Sacha Baron Cohen, who dropped out of a Freddie Mercury biopic, “an arse” and suggested that Ben Whishaw—“a real actor”—would make a better Mercury. Another one bites the dust!

Hall of Douchebags
Steve Miller celebrated his recent induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by calling everyone even remotely associated with the organization a “dick and an asshole”. Considering recent inductees have included Gene Simmons, David Lee Roth, and Axl Rose, we can’t disagree.

Too Bad
Finnish Student Salli Anttonen has written a paper with the delightful title “Hypocritical Bullshit Performed Through Gritted Teeth: Authenticity Discourses in Nickelback’s Album Reviews in Finnish Media”.
