After Oakland native Armstrong called Las Vegas the "worst sh*thole in America" due to the Oakland Athletics' impending move to Vegas, two of the city's radio stations subsequently banned Green Day's music.

Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, a native of Oakland, expressed his frustration during a concert at San Francisco’s Oracle Park on September 20 over the Oakland Athletics' move to Las Vegas. Armstrong took aim at A’s owner John Fisher and called Las Vegas “the worst sh*thole in America.”

“We don’t take sh*t from people like f*cking John Fisher [Oakland Athletics' owner]...I hate Las Vegas. It’s the worst sh*thole in America.”

His remarks led two Las Vegas radio stations, KOMP 92.3 and X 107.5, to ban Green Day’s music. X107.5 defended the city and the A's business move, with host Carlota Gonzalez pointing out that the Raiders also increased in value after moving from Oakland to Las Vegas.


Folks were not impressed with the threat.


Many people agreed with Armstrong's estimation of the city.

Others took offense at Armstrong's opinion.


Folks accused Green Day of hypocrisy.

Others brought it back to Oakland, Armstrong's home city.

There was a middle ground, people said.

Green Day will be doing a world tour in the coming year, but probably won't be stopping in Las Vegas.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!
