First World Problem of the Day: Just when you thought things couldn’t possibly get worse for the Motor City, it was confirmed today that Nickelback will indeed perform during halftime at the Lions-Green Bay game on Thanksgiving Day.
This, despite a petition with over 50,000 signatories asking the halftime show’s producers to reconsider for the sake of Detroit’s national image. “Does anyone even like Nickelback?,” asks the petiton’s author, Dennis Guttman. ”Is this some sort of ploy to get people to leave their seats during halftime to spend money on alcoholic beverages and concessions?”
The band’s frontman Chad Kroeger, who has likely spent a lifetime letting such comments roll off his luxurious golden locks, said they were looking forward to the performance and “always love playing in Detroit.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! None of my roommates understand the distaste that people have for Nickleback.
