Win Projekt Revolution Tickets

There are very few bands that I hate more than Taking Back Sunday. Linkin Park is one of em.
Remember that dog that used to say that he'd like to poop on things. I'd like to poop on the Projekt Revolution tour. Then I'd like to smear that poop on other things that I hate, like the current White House, assholes who try to politicize things like global warming and pretend it isn't happening, and people who take up two spaces in a residential parking spot that could easily fit two cars.
When I was younger I would have written something like, I hope Linkin Park was in a plane 40,000 feet in the air and tragedy struck and the pilots lost control of the plane and it dived down and it spiraled and it nosedived and it rocketed and it crashed with a huge explosion into Taking Back Sunday's tour bus.

And Coldplay was scorched by the scalding heat of exploding shit.
And I would have vetoed this contest. But since I'm older I realize that people have different tastes than me and those people should be allowed to go to the show for free and maybe enjoy MCR or HIM.
Details on how to enter this contest after the jump.
To enter, tell us which bands you hate. Registered commentors only please, so if you're not registered sign up!
One random winner (we couldn't care less which crappy bands you think are crappy, so may as well be honest) will get two tickets to the Project Revolution show on July 28, 2007 at Hyundai Pavilion starring Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, H.I.M., Taking Back Sunday and others.
Unless there's a terrible plane crash into a bus.
Which of course we don't wish on anyone.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
