This kind of thing not too unusual these days but published by the CBC, who have done tons of reporting on the story, possibly even breaking it in the first place?

I've never heard of that band. I guess I should be glad to hear that there are bands I've never heard of that people are tattoo-level devoted to. There are more bands than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio.

worst weird pointless npr write up of an absolutely nonsensical youtube video made by a maniac about how kanye west albums have some imaginary analog to situations from disgraced tv show 'the office', ever?

That was fucking painful to read - and no, I didn't finish it. I tried to read it, got a few paragraphs in, scrolled down, saw the writer had written "I SOUND LIKE A DICK", agreed with the writer on that point and then closed it.

I know this reads like … I mean it reads like bad writing, honestly, but it’s a real thing that really happened, I swear; it’s just that I don’t have better words.

America's sudden favorite rapper, Cardi B, has built her body for optimal viewing at medium-to-long-distance range. This engineering foresight helps explain why, before she began making music history (a randomly chosen milestone from her tennis bracelet of success: she is the first rapper to have her first three Billboard Hot 100 entries in the Top 10 simultaneously), she was not just a successful stripper but a wildly successful one. The hills and slopes of her body are so captivating that you might not even notice the delicate beauty of her countenance until it's staring at you head-on from across a dimly lit restaurant booth while you wait to discover what it is that Cardi loves.
