MTV, We Were JOKING About Nirvana

MTV, you’re so silly. You have a news article that says “Nirvana At SXSW? Police At Bonnaroo? Behind The Bogus Festival Lineups”.

They then write:

Are the re-formed Smashing Pumpkins set to rock Lollapalooza? Will the long-dormant Police return at Bonnaroo? How about a reunited Nirvana taking the stage at South by Southwest, only with Ben Kweller playing guitar and singing Kurt’s vocals?

Hmm, where could that have possibly come from? Perhaps my freaking brain, that’s where! On January 17, I wrote:

UNLIKELY
– Nirvana reunion with Ben Kweller on keyboards and Jonny Polanski on vocals

MTV.com also wrote:

But incredibly, they’re all “100 percent confirmed” by sources with intimate knowledge about such things.

So not only did they get my joke wrong (it’s Kwellar on keys and Jonny on vocals, MTV.com!), but they also say that a rumor that I posted as “unlikely” as me saying it’s 100% true.

I find this really funny, but I am demanding a boycott of MTV and Viacom until they credit my fake news story! BOYCOTT, PEOPLE!!

(Lesson learned: maybe I need to be a little clearer with my jokes….)
