Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments

“And I swear that I don’t have a gun.”
— Kurt Cobain, “Come As You Are”

Despite the pledge in those lyrics that went around the world in the early 1990s, police in Seattle say that Kurt Cobain did have at least one gun.

That was the widely mocked lede (since removed) from CNN’s article about newly discovered photos from the scene of the Nirvana frontman’s suicide. You can see the pics here, but know that they’re not revelatory and do not constitute new evidence. Despite what you may have read on Twitter, the case has not been reopened.

In related news, Courtney Love tweeted that she found the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.

“The worst crime is faking it,” Kurt Cobain wrote in his suicide note 20 years ago. The second worst crime is being in the week’s Lowest Rated Comments list below.

Can Earl and Frank Ocean just defect from Odd Future so they don’t have top be associated with all this stupid crap that surrounds that name?

Hey guys. I don’t want to be weird or anything, and I don’t want to freak anyone out, but does anyone notice anything really suspicious about this album cover? Does anyone get the vibe that there are hidden messages scattered throughout the cover?

I’m sure this will be a selling point for many Odd Future fans. I really don’t understand the appeal of Tyler or any of the OF crew. They aren’t terrible rappers, but they rap about stupid shit and although I generally try to separate the artist from their work it’s hard to ignore what douchebags they all seem to be. They’re like a slightly more talented ICP.

Who said anything about a powder blue tux? What is this, Ira Glass’s prom? I’m thinking black tie, grosgrain accents, opera pumps and everything.

Monsiuer Hulot | Mar 14th Score:-9

I’m confused. Isn’t that what rap music is all about? Not giving a fuck about anybody but yourself (or maybe your “crew” lol)……being rapped up(ha) in materialism……….money, drugs, sex…..repeat ad nauseum……..sounds to me like this guy was just following suit…….living the lifestyle. Let’s all brag about how many people we’ve shot, but……oh….wait………you hit some people with a car………..naw, dude………that’s just wrong. You’re being demeaning to women, glorifying violence, and rhyming about being a deplorable, self-centered human being…….that’s awesome……..but wait………..you were drunk driving……….how could you ever do such a thing?

Adam’s father thanks all of you, especially Ryan, for your kind comments. He’s made his mother and me very proud. They say that it’s the middle child that usually goes astray. Adam puts the lie to this perception.
