Ten things you never knew about
The Fighting Cocks
1. They’re called The Fighting Cocks because they’re small and suicidally reckless.
2. According to AAS, they’re Hungarian gypsies (from Essex).
3. There are no Hungarians in the band.
4. But there are some gypsies.
5. They used to be a legendary unknown super-cult band called Széki Kurva, who put out three albums, got banned from every venue in London, and split up about fifteen times.
6. As a branch of the shadowy US Intelligence outfit P2OG (Proactive Preemptive Operations Group), everything they do, from the clothes they wear onstage to the songs they sing, is geared to fighting Islamic extremism.
7. MJ Hibbett wrote the song "Bands From London Are Shit" specifically about them.
8. The original concept for Girls Aloud came from their live act.
9. They have been described as "The Corrs you can't take home to your mum" by people who should know better.
10. Their live sound has been variously described as "a punchup at a Balkan wedding", "a smart bomb hitting Bin Laden in the face", and "gangsta karaoke" by people who've obviously experienced their sheer incompetence live.
11. Contrary to some reports, they are NOT all related.
‘I would say that if containment worked for Communism it will probably work to contain radical Islam. The West's cultural weapons of mass destruction - rock music, videos, blue jeans, iPods, internet including pornography, etc.- are quite enough to bring down military jihad Islam over time. So is the picture of Western decadent luxury. Contain them so they cannot expand; defend the borders; and allow the market place to work on the rest. If they choose to keep out Western influences they will end up like Burma and North Korea; if they don't, the Cultural Weapons of Mass Destruction and the promise of earthly delights will have their way on their youth. In either event we give them far less to shoot at.
It's much easier to persuade someone to attack troops on your soil than to get them to travel a long way to blow themselves up in order to vent rage on the Internet or a rock band. If the West can't manage to win in the war of ideas: if we can't put on a better show, and demonstrate that here and now you can live in a world of rock stars, wristwatches, jewelry, pretty girls, careers for girls, pretty clothes for girls, freedom for women to drive cars and go shopping, education for everyone, birth control -- well you get the idea -- if we can't make our real world more attractive than a place where you get 71 unconsulted virgins for blowing yourself up, then we're really in bad shape. Radical Islam and the culture death shouldn't be more attractive to young people than what we can offer.’
