I can't believe that many people actually really <i>like</i> Nickleback, though, in the way folks like deathcab, white stripes, the shins, etc. But those numbers are depressing nonetheless, considering the white stripes and the strokes are considered "big sellers" of the acclaimed music field.

It's like when you watch Jesus Camp and realize where Bush gets all his votes. sometimes nickelback fans act like “super”-fans, which is depressing.
