Girl in the Slayer Jacket

Here's one that made Jon laugh (and rage a bit):

Okay so perhaps this girl is Brick Lane's biggest black metal devotee, but I'm betting that she's not sure who Burzum is. That if you said "Yo, Count Grishnakh!" to her, it'd wing right over her head. And guys, I know how cool band t-shirts are supposed to be right now, but I'm also betting most hipsters wouldn't want to support church burning murderers with very suspicious "National Socialist" sympathies?

Jon loves Burzum so he wasn't impressed with this pic. But it does come at a very topical moment in time: it was announced recently that Varg Vikernes will be granted parole after 16 years of his full 21 year sentence.

So there are two morals to this story. 1: Check out the band you're wearing. I wore my brother's Lost Prophets hoodie once and have regretted it ever since . 2: In Norway, if you kill someone who no-one else likes (I'd want to kill someone who looked like this too) it'll probably gain your band more popularity than you ever would have had if you'd stuck to the church burning. Plus, when you're allowed to release albums from prison, how bad can it be?
