A US Christian college has cancelled Canadian power- pop band New Porno’s show due to an apparent issue with the band name.
In a predictable sweep of conservatism, the devil-worshipping band was forced to cancel their October 15th show at Calvin College, Michigan, as the school and many parents obviously don’t understand irony.
The school issued a statement saying “After weeks of discussion and consideration, the irony of the band’s name was impossible to explain to many. The band’s name, to some, is mistakenly associated with pornography. Consequently, Calvin, to some, was mistakenly associated with pornography. Neither the college nor the band endorses pornography.”
Obviously Fuck Buttons won’t be getting an invite anytime soon.
