Newt Gingrich Rally In Las Vegas Interrupted By Local Grindcore Band

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

A rally for Republican Party Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich in Las Vegas on Thursday morning was interrupted by local Nevada grindcore band Traumatic Anal Devastation. Apparently the band showed up outside the rally, plugged their instruments in, and generated what Gingrich staffer Terry ‘The Stick’ Foley called “the sound of a tank driving through a minefield.” Police showed up and pulled the plug on the youthful thugs after about 5 minutes (the equivalent of 20 songs, according to estimates from our grindcore research staff). Singer (used very loosely) for the band Chip “Gravelthroat” Corbin said the inpromptu performance was a political statement based on the band’s agenda for equal rights, animal rights, and support of anti-war movements across the world. When asked how his band’s name reflected their political beliefs, Corbin stated “Traumatic Anal Devastation is obviously metaphorical for the way the government and capitalism has continually raped the public at-large.” When asked how people were supposed to understand the political nature of the lyrics given the undecipherable delivery of them, Corbin responded “Huh? What do you mean?” No reports of hearing loss or more than usual psychological damage from the Gingrich supporters who were present.

A pretty badass and original way to protest against this nut. Overall the hilarity of the situation seems to match the general stupidity of his platform.

Which is ironic, given how being an attention whore seems like Gingrich's only way to seek political support., while the name of the band provides a metaphorical description of emotions expressed by the far-right crowd.

Reminds me of the circus trick played in the 2004 Ukraine elections.

This was pretty upsetting because Traumatic Anal Destruction was only the opening band, they were supposed to be followed by Heinous Crotch Rot and Distended Sphincter Crater.
