It's my two-year anniversary as a Los Angelena, and I had this whole thing planned out to write, but instead of sitting on my roof gazing up at the skyscrapers and pounding out nineteen-clause sentences I'm inside watching L.A. County burn on the TV, and then a commenter sent us this and now I don't want to do anything but watch it over and over again, forever:
Thank you, Fake Nickelback, for saving us all from an attack of rank sentimentality.
Yikes. Hope the fires aren't that close to you.
In the meantime, holy shit is that video hilarious.

Doesn't change my view that avoiding Nickelback is a good plan for a happy life.
Posted by: DC Trojan at October 13, 2008 08:23 PMThe best thing about this is if you click through to the YouTube page, there are almost 100,000 views--and the comments are ALL RAVES. Since when does that happen? Truly, hatred of Nickelback brings this great nation together.
Posted by: Holly at October 13, 2008 11:26 PMThis morning started somewhat intense and with an air of gloom (thank you fucking architects and thank you even more shitty economy) but this, this beautiful video has totally changed that. I will now take on my day with a smile and renewed vigor.
Thank you Holly and thank you, Ross and John!
Posted by: Picture Me Rollin at October 14, 2008 07:56 AMThis deserves many, many more than 100k views. Now, at least, my afternoon has a form and a function more than reedit #47 version of a commercial.
