*beats head against wall repeatedly* Thanks Lil, I now not only feel pissed off, but several IQ points stupider. Ah well, at least it had a happy ending.
I wanted to email them and thank them for perpetuating idiotic stereotypes, but I can't even be bothered.
It would take too much time out of my life trying to explain that even though some of those Slipknot kiddies call themselves Goth they don't have a fucking clue about the subculture either.
Plus it's not like a tabloid like that is ever going to rectify the mistake, or care. And most punters don't read rectifications anyway... this kind of thing just justifies whatever misguided ideas they already have... they don't want that refuted.
