Do you think these guys can pull together the money to make this happen?

Haha, that's pretty funny. That reminds me of a recent Sum 41 tweet..
We should launch a fundraiser for the assassination of Deryck Whibley! Should be an easy job if sitting down behind a drumset can already put him in a wheel chair for months. He would be the first person ever to be assassinated by a drum stool, lol.

I don't know what is worse out of this whole spectacle

A) The man who started this fail of a fundraiser
or
B) Weezer fans threatening to kill him when they know this thing will never happen.

I could see (A) being picked because people should respect other's tastes. Music is like food, I might like Chinese food, you might not. I like Gob, you might not like them. Should that mean you should raise money to get rid of Chinese food and Gob? No you shouldn't, because other people like them.

However, I could see (B) being picked because you could tell it was never going to work. For one the money raised isn't even close to what the goal is. Also by the way the drummer acted, I doubt the band will break up. These people need to calm down and realize Weezer is going no where. unless Weezer gets into a fight that makes them stop being friends, or they get too old to play their instruments.

You realize it was a joke, right? This guy just expressed his opinion in a provocative/satirical way to get some attention and thanks to all those idiots who responded and got upset, it worked.
