Whoever pulled this prank actually did a great service to the band. The fake press release about Robert Pattinson (remember, from the Beyoncé show?) and Colin Hanks playing male prostitutes in a short film Misoneism soundtracked by Death Grips and directed by Zach Hill came so shortly after the FFF cancelation that it dulled a lot of the anger directed toward the band. Death Grips was forced to respond to the hoax (none of it was true), and for once seemed as confused as we all were. At last, they were on the receiving end of a prank, and it was pretty great (unless they were behind it all along). Without any music for almost the entire year, and increasingly tabloid like events, it felt like Death Grips were losing some of their strange power. We wouldn’t hear anything from them for nearly a month.
