Where all the heart, soul and any level of intellectualism is gutted from the genre for poseur bands with their fake emotion, all neatly packaged in a three minute MTV video that does absolutly nothing except patronise fans of genuine metal. Usually comes added with a crossover at some point with an overrated rapper that appears on everyone's albums - apart from other rappers, who despise them for being commercialised crap with no worth whatsoever.
Linkin Park - with or whithout Jay-Z.

Get the pop metalmug. AKA Kano Shimai.
Japan's answer to the Hilton Sisters, although neither of them are as irritating and overexposed as Paris, and they've been around for a few years.
Multitasking between acting, singing, modelling and generally turning up everywhere, Mika and Kyoko are at the pinnacle of Japan's star system.

Get the Kano Sistersmug. Since we seemed to have cloned her with Alexandra Burke, I guess we have to make Leona Lewis whiter.

Get the Leona Lewismug. Marilyn Manson inspired the Columbine kids to shoot up their High School.
Marilyn Manson influenced Luke Mitchell to kill Jodi Jones.

Get the marilyn mansonmug. More proof, if needed, that Ross Robinson was born to manage boy bands, as opposed to something remotely alternative.
Just because they're nine blokes in masks and boiler suits doesn't mean they're better than four guys without, especially if you actually listen to their frankly dreadful lyrics (examples: "Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you stand for" and "People = Shit" repeated six or seven times).
In other words, rather than use real emotion behind their music, they just hide behind a facade of fake anger where shouting "fuck" a lot apparently means something, especially in the exact same seethe/shout/roar song structure they use time and again. No wonder the main part of their fanbase is 14 years old...

(When trying to enter an over 18's rock club) "Is that a Slipknot t-shirt you're wearing? Right, show me your ID." The kid gets sent home soon after.

Get the slipknotmug. A microcosm of American empire building in Baja California - the part of Mexico they forgot to steal way back when.
Apart from the main drag that lasts about 200 yards, filled with bars, strip clubs and pharmacies (children selling chewing gum on the streets optional), there is literally nothing there. Walk one block either side, and it's like stepping into the Third World, before returning to $1 bottles of Dos Equis in chintzy bars set up for American tourists, students, and people that can't afford a trip to Mexico City or Cancun.
Still, it's the shortest border check on the planet - they don't bother checking, as they know you aren't smuggling anything into the country. It's returning to the US that has the usual body cavity searches...

Get the Tijuanamug. The latest in a long line of using a date to signify a terrorist attack, making the journalists job easier as they have shorthand...but misses the point entirely.
The reason? How can two dozen men being arrested on suspicion of looking Arabic be at all related to 3000 people being killed on 9/11? There was no attack, so therefore the term is meaningless, journalistic slang that led to paranoid airport security.
The fact that, a month on, those not released quietly are being held on not giving evidence of a terror attack is quite fishy, don't you think?

Journo 1: "The police are trying to appear important by randomly arresting two dozen people without evidence, and can't get their story straight!"
Journo 2: "Quick, in order to make it easier and scare the readers into buying our paper for the way forward, give it a date. What's today's date?"
Journo 1: "10th August, 2006."
Journo 2: "10/8 it is, then!"
