I tried a google search for blackfaced Theda Bara impersonators and came up empty. It would be a tour de force, I'll say that.

My take on it is they're a middle of the pack band with simple, catchy songs, who somehow became successful, so naturally everyone is obligated to hate them. That, and supposedly the front man is pretentious.

"Oh, Mammy, don' flim flam me, Mammy!" Jesus Christ, how did they not think someone might be offended by that shit? Heritage, not hate, indeed.

Some of their songs are catchy, but have you heard "Photograph?" Even if that were their only bad song, it's enough to warrant the Nickleback hatred.

Nickleback gets the red squiggly line. Even spellcheck hates them!
