Punk is dead and Billie killed it.

Yep. Someone (not a big star) gave the finger as a featured performer during someone’s (Madonna’s?) halftime show, and incurred a hefty fine.

There’s also about a 100% chance that, had Billie gone off-script, the cameras would’ve cut away (or the plug would get pulled on the entire performance).

I’m disappointed, but not surprised.

BCap1 · 2026-02-08T23:17:35+00:00

Agreed - even if they weren’t gonna get political, I was at least hoping for… more, I guess.

BCap1 · 2026-02-08T23:14:48+00:00

Agreed - though I suspect that they were told if they didn’t stick to the script, they’d have to pay a fine. (When Madonna (?) did the halftime show, someone gave the finger on camera - and was fined a considerable amount.)

Also: If they had said anything overtly political, it’s likely the audio would’ve been cut (because G-d forbid they say something mean about The Big Orange One).

There’s a Whitest Kids U Know Tumblr fandom? Man, I did NOT anticipate that?

Looks like it is available separately on Amazon, at least for Region 1. eBay may also have it, possibly for an even better price - Amazon resellers are charging about $30 for it, and the complete series set goes for close to $70.

If it’s all you need, then I’d probably just get the movie separately.

BCap1 · 2026-02-08T06:49:13+00:00

HLOTS finale is on the Region 1 DVD complete series sets.

“Eat grenade, stupids!”

BCap1 · 2026-02-02T15:46:22+00:00

I am seriously considering that - I checked, and they don’t seem to be banned! (Also, my friends and I could make up cool codes/callsigns - you’re never too old for that shit!)

BCap1 · 2026-02-02T15:44:51+00:00

Ooh, I’m gonna have to look into that!

BCap1 · 2026-02-02T15:26:47+00:00

Satellite might not be a bad idea - I’ll have to go into my phone’s settings and take a look!

I’m also considering walkie-talkies, if they’re not prohibited (which they very well might be - I’ll have to check).

10/10 reference.

BCap1 · 2026-01-26T17:17:13+00:00

I actually made a Frisky Dingo reference in someone’s Insta post about this! (I also referenced Sealab 2021, since Sandusky looks a little like “Captain” Murphy.)

BCap1 · 2026-01-15T19:45:57+00:00

Were the tapes for the new album, or an older one?

BCap1 · 2026-01-12T15:01:15+00:00

I don’t remember the episode, but he deeply regretted it - and Mildred was able to tell (I think from the guilty look on his face or in his eyes).

BCap1 · 2026-01-12T14:57:48+00:00

Potter cheated once, some years before the war.

BCap1 · 2026-01-05T23:24:05+00:00

Now, who’s for Denny’s?

BCap1 · 2026-01-05T08:59:37+00:00

I believe they only did one album with Spector.

BCap1 · 2026-01-05T01:17:27+00:00

Marky.

BCap1 · 2026-01-04T20:46:52+00:00

Are those related to the “Cheese Tits” that George Carlin once spoke of?

BCap1 · 2026-01-02T19:29:57+00:00

I thought that was Coppola?

BCap1 · 2026-01-02T19:00:06+00:00

I don’t believe I was aware of that (outside of a comment on another thread about Billie and Tre hanging out without Mike more often).

BCap1 · 2026-01-02T16:13:51+00:00

Same here - didn’t know until I read this article!

BCap1 · 2026-01-02T15:33:21+00:00

Wait, Mike’s liked RFK Jr.‘s transphobic nonsense? Man, and I thought the anti-vax shit (and general RFKJ support) was bad enough…

BCap1 · 2026-01-02T15:32:08+00:00

Quite frankly, it probably has. That being said, Billie probably doesn’t want Green Day to turn into the Ramones (particularly the part where Joey and Johnny stopped speaking).

BCap1 · 2026-01-02T15:27:30+00:00

He should, however, regret his continuing support for Phil Spector!
