It's funny that I still find myself unable to sue the RIAA for supporting artists many consider to be the sole cause of the rise in cancer incidence. I'd be inclined to sue the twits blaring there opinion as to what jumble of sounds constitute "music," but, as a nod to the more obnoxious popularity lists like Bing, I'd rather not shoot the messenger just because I don't agree with them... unless I can buy a few senators, that is.
