Earlier I posed the question-- who sucks more, Fall Out Boy or Nickleback. Since I'm still not sure what the answer is, I've decided to break it down.

Pro Fall Out Boy:
-witty lyrics (or so I've heard)
-effort put into being somewhat original and different
-band leader actually got MTV to allow him to start his own show on MTV for the express purposes of playing music videos
-somewhat politically active and vocally supported Obama
-named after character in the Simpsons

Con Fall Out Boy:
-Despite attempts to be original and unique, songs are not very good
-Do not, in any shape or form, rock
-At all
-Grew hair out and donned ironically cool facial hair in an attempt to look like they rocked only to see attempt make them look even less like they rock
-Band member impregnated Ashlee Simpson
-Occasionally mentioned in stories that include the words "Paris Hilton"
-named after character in the Simpsons and still suck

Pro Nickleback
-Do somewhat rock
-It's always good to have a solid, meat & potatoes rock band out there in the world
-Have not impregnated anyone in the Simpson's family
-Never mentioned in a story that includes the words "Paris Hilton"
-While fans include kids under the age of 18, their fan base doesn't only consist of kids under the age of 18
-Do not wear eyeliner
-From Canada. Like Rush!
-Had a video which featured important, politically correct slogans

Con Nickleback
-May indeed rock, but not by much
-While it's good to have at least one meat & potato rock band out there, it would help if they didn't sound like every other meat & potato rock band in the history of meat & potato rock bands
-Also features issues with facial hair
-From Canada. Like Celine Dion.
-Wrote a song called "Something in Your Mouth" which features these lyrics:
"got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body
they say it’s over budget but you’d pay her just to touch it come on
needs to hit the big screen and shoot a little love scene
if Hollywood had called her she’d be gone before you holler come on"

-Did we mention there's not one hint of originality? AT ALL
