Fall Out Boy donates $50K to No on Prop 8.

"We believe government shouldn't legislate love. Vote no on proposition 8."


(For non-Californians: Proposition 8 would amend the state constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman. Currently, same-sex marriage is legal via judicial ruling.)

ETA: Additional links, while I'm at it.
Without expletive deleted. This one also mentions that Google also opposes the measure.

Apparently so do Brad Pitt and Steven Spielberg.

Only thing I know about Fall Out Boy is their version of "What's This" from the Nightmare Before Christmas, which I do like, but they just went up a few points in awesome in my book.

Mine, too, and all I know about them is that they stole my boyfriend's potato chips.

Hah. Uh... basically Boyfriend had a friend who knew them before they got famous. He lived with her for awhile, and FOB crashed at her place one night (on tour I assume). Boyfriend came home after a long day to find that the band had eaten all of his snacks. Replacements were promised, but never delivered.

To this day, whenever Fall Out Boy come on the radio, the Boyfriend grumbles, "Those assholes owe me some goddamn Pringles."

I pretty much only know one album plus a couple of tracks by them, but my favourite song of theirs is Carpal Tunnel of Love

Caution: Happy Tree Friends.

I don't... mind Fall Out Boy's music, and I'm borrowing one of their songs as the signature song for one of my roleplaying characters, but I'm on the 'good for them!' train.

Wow. I'm impressed with Fall Out Boy, even though I know almost nothing about them. I feel old.

I get to vote against Proposition 8 on November 4. Youtube has some nice anti-8 clips, including one I've been seeing on TV (and also this one which I thought was adorable.)

Good for them!

Google too? I like google :)

AfterElton posted weeks ago about Brad Pitt and Steven Spielberg's donation for the good cause. They donated $100K each.

Well apparently they stole some dude's chips. Teach the controversy!

I'll buy them chips if it'll mean they'll donate more.

But they probably only eat stolen ones, right?

Leave chips out like cookies for Santa. Except chips for Fall Out Boy.

Once when I was very little I dreamt Santa used children as his reindeer, and one year I was chosen to be Rudolph. It was amazing.

Will they come down the non-existent chimney and leave me wonderful presents of gay sex right?

Drat! I've been good all year, and for what? Santa? Toys? Bastard will probably bring me clothes that I'll never wear again anyway...

I swear I can change, Fall Out Boy! I swear!

I asked the Boyfriend if their donation was enough to compel him to forgive the Chip Incident, and he says that while it's mighty decent of them, bitches still owe him some chips.

"C'mon, if I let that go, what will I have left?"
"My chip-fueled grudge against Fall Out Boy, let me show you it?"
"Yesss."

I had to look them up, but I loved that "Thnks fr th Mmrs" video.

...So Fall Out Boy is pro gay marriage, but anti-vowels?
