It's an April Fools joke. Not a funny one either. As far as something like that happening here.. will never happen. Our mods are too good to let things like that go on in the forums.

*yawn* CDFreaks site is terribly slow now. That April Fool's Joke isn't even funny. Stupid holiday, I can't wait until April 2nd.

I saw it on a bumper sticker. I knew right away it would make the perfect sig.

Funny, that's exactly where I got mine from too. Of course, I also took the bumper sticker and put it on my bedroom wall.

Yeah, I've seen that one too. I wish they'd make one that says "F*ck Bush". I'd buy that.

The folks who thought of the prank at CD Freaks slipped up on one thing; why would the RIAA (the last A being the most important) contact the CD Freaks, which is headquartered in Europe (the Netherlands, if I'm not mistaken)? I didn't think the Recording Industry Association of AMERICA had any jurisdiction in Holland. Now, if they mentioned the local RIA in the Netherlands, then that would have made more sense.
No, I like women.

it didnt make any sense but i suffer from paranoid schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and that got me on edge thinking that they would stoop that low as I am also a pretty active person in politics and it got the old wheel spinning and had me pissed off.I didnt even realize today was april 1st either as I have been up for 4 or is it 5 days now. Whew I wish I had a job again.
