You thought twitter was bad, check out these comments from this CBC article!


I personally don't care for that type of music, but it does seem to be the way that popular culture is going these days...you only have to look at 10 teenagers to see how they dress.....a liberal generation has flushed all hope, all sense of culture, self worth, self respect and dignity down the toilet.

I could care less about the band's name, but there's no way they deserved to win over any of the other nominees. They're terrible.

But, hey, at least the money is going to a good cause.


By giving the award to F--ked-Up (written this way so that the CBC won't censor my post), the Polaris Prize has lost its' relevance.

Artistic Merit? Really?

Why is the CBC which is funded by taxpayers promoting this filth?


The Band's Lead singer fits the name Perfectly somebody should insert a 10 Lb frozen Bologna sideways where the sun don't shine


Hmmmm. I could care less about the band's name. All I know is I just listened to the album in it's entirety, and I find it to be nothing but a loud yelling match. Prize awarded to best album based on artistry eh? Seems to me like the judges just wanted to be edgy and award it to a band with an obviously controversial name.


Judging from the complete lack of talent and imagination in choosing a band name I can't see wasting time listening to the band. The music obviously has to match the name. And music is not art! Never has been. The minute you call it art you take it to a level to which it was never meant to get to. If they were true artistes they would never have shown up at an awards show to have their art validated by a bunch of people they should care nothing about. And of course it can be dismissed if I don't like it. If I think it sucks, it never enters my world. What makes something Art is based on someone's opinion. I think it's telling that their music is barely mentioned in the article but they do have a cause, which means it ain't about the music.


It is unbelievable what crap today is called MUSIC !!!


Says as much about the judges as it does the band!

What a revolting name and what a disgusting on stage display. When this is considered the "best" and award worthy, it's time to change the channel and find something with quality and substance.

Absolutely pitiful !

POLARIS

Thanks Owen and Kat and Justin and everyone else - pics and mp3s of the set and shit later.
In the mean time, here are some choice TWEETS:

cratic Can not believe Fucked Up won the Polaris Prize over Metric. I don't want to take anything away from them, but come on...

andredesorel Fucked Up gagne le prix Polaris 2009. Une victoire aussi musicale que politique? http://bit.ly/341lFQ

simfz So proud of my bro and Fucked up for winning the Polaris Prize! The first time all year my mom has stayed up until 1230am.

LexStoymenoff gotta love Canadian music awards "galas" - at #polaris the winners come up on stage with pants undone and chugging a beer.

wwkuwl .@mtvnewscanada Well, the Polaris Prize just took a big dump on their credibility factor. I guess Patrick Watson couldn't win again so soon?

Dissentertainer I hope they aren't the best Canada has to offer RT @Guttersniped Polaris winner announced - Fucked Up. Both sad and predictable.
