[kj] Celtic fan vs Dida attack

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

That is true. In that case, I would rip off the Backstreet Boys' balls.

Still, there is a double standard in how violence in music is regarded 
versus violence, drugs, fanaticism that reaches the levels of religious 
fundamentalism, and the like, in sports. The latter is frowned upon but 
seen as the exception to the rule, whereas violence in music, especially 
rap, is seen as somehow endemic to it.
