Nickelback have had their fair share of detractors during their career, but now the Canadian quartet are facing their toughest challenge yet – an internet popularity contest against the humble pickle.
The Can This Pickle Get More Fans Than Nickleback? (sic) Facebook page has, at the time of writing, attracted the support of over 1,535,664 users of the social networking website. Nickelback’s official Facebook page, meanwhile, has 1,435,100 fans.
“We did it!” says Coral Anne, the Facebook campaign’s founding member. “Salute the almighty pickle!”
When Kerrang! contacted Nickelback to see how they felt about being less popular than a pickle, their spokesperson declined to comment. However, according to reports, frontman Chad Kroeger allegedly contacted the group to demand they take it offline.
The singer sent Coral Anne a private message saying "Your page will be closing in two weeks."
"I still whooped your a*s Chad! (sic)," she replied.
