Malvo here, it's been a while since our last entry and all I can say is I'm sorry for slacking off. Anyway, I just came across this photo this morning and I thought it was a joke. But so far, I don't see anything that indicates that this is a gag. It looks legit and all I can do is laugh.
It's absurd, but what's even more absurd is the outrage over it. I mean who fucking cares? It's the Sex Pistols! I hate to use the term "sold out" but let's face facts here people, they 'sold out" YEARS AGO. Is this really so bad? How is this any different than buying one of their shirts at Hipster Heaven aka Urban Outfitters?
At this point, is anyone really surprised about punk bands appearing on things like this anymore? I mean you can get (insert band name here) coffee mugs, boxer shorts, action figures, wallets, bra's etc etc. And this sort of merch has been around for years! It is hardly a nail into the coffin that we call hardcore punk.
Reading the comments section is entertaining and depressing at the same time. Here are some of my favorites.
"Not a real punk band anyway. Let em"
"Punk is truly dead"
"Yeah nothing says punk rock like fucking credit cards, SMFH"
These guys are being a bit too dramatic. Just remember, Frankie Say Relax! It's not the end of the world guys. It's just another item with a punk bands name on it, in a sea of other items. And why can't any of you cry babies be more creative with your bitching? I glossed over the comments section of a couple different pages on Facebook and for the most part, the comments all sounded like the ones above. Get over it!
Quite frankly, I'd get one of these cards if I could get a better interest rate. God knows I'm getting bent over the barrel pretty good by my current creditors. I can only hope that there is a slogan for this card like - Never Mind The Cash Back.
