A punk-turned-pop band who produced two underground Punk albums in the late 80's, early 90's, then went on to bigger, more commercial things, (though they lost their indie status, still considered to be quality punk rock) until the release of American Idiot; known by any real fan of punk rock to be the most insultingly pathetic release to date. It picks up where Blink 182 left off in turning a genre (punk) of insanely warped guitar melodies and meaningful, thought-provoking lyrics into mushy love songs and half-assed, pretentious bitching, all to attract a new generation of 13 year old girls, (most likely moving on from the hip hop trend) seeing a Green Day vid on MTv and going to Hot Topic to buy some anarchy shoe laces, claiming to be Punks, when they know NOTHING about the genre or ACTUAL Punk rock. (They also tend to have very poor grammar, refer to themselves as bois and gurls. This is probably a clinging trend from the hip hop phase they were interested in last week.) And another thing; you're supposed to like a band because you like their music, not because you think the lead singer is how you bunch of Good Charlotte douche bags.
Here's my example: (a comparison)
Green Day - American Idiot (the song):
A brief, meaningless rant, picking up on the Hot Topic/MTv trend of saying you're a rebel, yet... Green Day is the only "punk" band you've ever even heard of. Also, proof that Billie Joe is lyrically retarded.
vs.
Bad Religion - any album/song ever produced: Bad Religion are a REAL punk band that has been making punk rock since the 70's, with the likes of Dead Kennedys, The Misfits, Rancid, and hundreds of other bands little Greenday pop-punks probably have never heard of.
Their music is not only political (it's one thing to say "Oh, I don't wanna' be an 'American Idiot'" "Oh, rednecks are stupid" "Down with Bush!" It's another thing to actually write meaningful lyrics about it that actually inspire intellectual thought, rather than MTv raves.

Get the whoamug. Priceless actor. Keanu is one of those actors that only go good in certian movies, but could you imagine someone with any emotional depth playing in Bill & Ted or the Matrix? Keanu's cut&dry, often laughable acting is not without its charm.

Get the command promptmug. A person, or usually group of assholes who think the term "freedom of speech" means "oppress everyone with your views". Being that, in 99.9% of all cases in which fundamentalists are involved, religion or otherwise, there is not a single shred of solid evidence to support their claim, they usually attempt to use catch-phrases like "pro-life" and are often cited as "politically correct". George Bush is living proof that fundamentalists have corrupted an already religiously oppressive nation by enforcing their opinions over others, without the benifit of popular vote or atleast a response of "Hey, if you don't like it, don't do it, and leave me the fuck alone." Most non-fundamentalists don't give a shit if their dollar bills say "In God we trust", as long as they can buy what they need to and live their own fucking lives, without constantly interfering with others'.
If I don't want to stand for the pledge, I shouldn't have to.
If a woman would rather have an abortion than; have a child she will resent, cannot support, had from rape, endanger her own life, etc... she should be able to.
If a person wants to get a divorce, because their significant other is a fucking dickhead, they should be allowed.
If someone believes that committing certian acts will condemn them to a firey hell, as based on an elaborate book of myth, they should be able to.
If someone commits an act described by a book of myth to be a sin, and they do not believe the fairytales described in said book, they shouldn't have to take shit for it.
