On Our Radar

I feel half obligated to defend GWAR.

They have been "killing" people since the 80's. If people are just now getting mad about them slaughtering political figures or headline makers, they haven't been paying attention.

I've been a GWAR fan for many, many years. I highly doubt the Sarah Palin slaying was gender prompted but more politically prompted.
They "kill" everyone. I watched a video of the Palin mock-death and it was not out of context of any of the others.

Last I saw them in concert (2008, just before the Election) there was a duke out between Obama and McCain. McCain punched off Obama's head and squirted "blood" all over the crowd then McCain, I believe was disemboweled.
The band cannot be taken seriously, by anyone. It's impossible to take this band seriously. They are supposed to be Aliens or something, from outterspace.
You wear a white shirt to the show to see how much blood and goo you can get on yourself. They squirt the crowd with just about anything they can think of.

They have a whole "show" with a story line and it's always absolutely absurd. For instance, the "Reganator". During the Bush administration they had a running story about how Bush and Cheney had brought Regan back from the dead as a machine of some sort. The band was forced to kill the Reagnator then kill Bush and Cheney.

I guess my point is, if you're going to be mad about GWAR, be mad about everything GWAR, not the Palin "death".

To really get a sense of how "wtf" they are here they are on Joan:

Also, Gwar on Palin's own network, multiple times.
