The Most Ridiculous Item of the Week – 5.11.07

Insider

A restaurant owner in Williamsburg, Va., has received numerous death threats from wiener fans of crappy pop-emo-rock band My Chemical Romance (as well as Muse, about whom I have no real opinion either way), who were angered after the bands had to cancel several shows on their joint tour after contracting salmonella at his restaurant over the weekend of April 27-28.

While it was not immediately known that the Green Leaf Café, owned by Glenn Gormley, had been the culprit in sickening members and crew of My Chemical Romance and crew members of Muse, it was concluded after local health officials released a recent statement. According the statement, several other people, including an entire wedding reception, also fell ill after eating at the restaurant.

According to Gormley, fans of the bands (mostly of My Chemical Romance, I’m sure) have sent numerous death threats to him at the restaurant, both over the phone and in the mail. Gormley has been forced to up security at the restuarant and at his home in order to protect his family, as he says, “We are trying our best [to deal with the situation]. It hasn’t been the best of times but life is good and we are trying to pull through this. We hope to still be in business next week.”

Come on, you pathetic idiots who like shitty music; grow the f*ck up. If anybody’s entitled to make death threats, it should be that couple who had their wedding reception at the place. There’s nothing like having the consummation of one’s marriage interrupted when one or both of the parties have to run to the bathroom to tend to explosive diarrhea and/or vomiting.

And as for Mr Gormley, your check is in the mail, though it surely would have been more… had you finished the job.
