Sports Buzz Because nothing says “we just won a first round playoff series” like partying with the world's most reviled rock band.
Music Buzz Look at this photograph. Every time I do, it makes me laugh at this person for PAINTING A NICKELBACK MURAL on the hood of his/her car. Also: How did the grill get so red? And what the hell is on Joey's head?

Mmmm, passive aggression. Does this have the makings of one of the most polite feuds of 2012? The year is still young.
Music Buzz Fine Detroit, fine. This cover blends the smooth sounds of Motown with the horrible lyrics of Nickelback…making it pretty darn tolerable.
Nickelback is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on Nickelback.
Culture Buzz Why would the city of Detroit not want these guys to perform at halftime of the Lions game? I mean that makes no sense. They seem so charming. (via funnyordie.com)
Culture Buzz Nickelback has been chosen to play the halftime show of the nationally televised Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers Thanksgiving Day game. Detroit fans are furious. So they did what anyone would do, they started a petition to get them replaced. And that petition is blowing up. (via newsweek.tumblr.com)
Music Buzz Hey guys, bet you weren't expecting your week to end on such a fantastic note, but Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger announced yesterday that the gang's reuniting to record a new album, Here and Now. It's been three seemingly endless years since their last release, but the wait is over on 21 November. There's even a countdown on their website. Also, here's some tweets from “Twitterbacks” about the proclamation.
Music Buzz With rumors that Nickelback may be back in the studio, fans are anxious to hear how the legendary quartet from Alberta, Canada, will reinvent themselves this time. While we wait for their long-anticipated follow-up to 2008's Dark Horse, let's have a look back at some of their greatest moments.
At first, you would think this is an article ripped straight out of The Onion. But sadly, no such luck.
Nick here just stumbled across perhaps the greatest way to figure out who your real friends are. Heather didn't make the cut.
Laura had some kind of special relationship with the lead singer of Nickelback. This is her story.
Culture Buzz Thanks to the internet it is now easier than ever to find people who have interests similar to your own. Some of these interests are worth pursuing (bacon) and others are just plain outdated (Hogan's Heroes). Here's a roundup of some of the strangest fan clubs the internet has to offer. Did I miss any?

Last year investment banker Terence Kawaja had a music video produced (to the tune of American Pie) celebrating the death of old media. This year he turned things up a notch and went upbeat – lip syncing entrepreneurs singing a song called Tech Star – a parody on Nickelback’s famous Rockstar video from 2007.
The BuzzFeed staff do yeoman's work by sampling various pickle brines in hopes of producing the perfect “pickleback.” For those of you who are new to picklebacking, this video should provide ample explanation.
The Ryan Seacrest ish of Canada is reporting that Nickelback will perform at the Closing Ceremonies. Of course. Related: if Celine doesn't show up on a throne of some sort, our border is no longer friendly.
Pretty unnecessary ad Tim, I mean, does anyone like Nickelback? Seriously? Get in touch if you're a fan, we can help.
Chad Kroeger is upset that a Facebook fan page dedicated to a pickle is getting more fans than Nickelback's fan page. After reaching their goal last week, the fan page's creators started receiving messages from Kroeger threatening to have the fan page removed from Facebook.
Currently, Nickelback has 1,380,820 fans on Facebook. This pickle has about 430,000. Please join a good cause!
Which is unfortunate, because Nickelback sucks so very much. Nickelback fans: Please don't look at this like one of those Virgin-Mary-in-grilled-cheese things.

Adding a rooster to Nickelback is the obvious natural progression, seeing as the band (and frankly, the band's fans) are all cocks anyways.
Music Buzz And you thought BrooklynVegan comments were mean.
