HOLY SHIT!! Dee Snyder to rename Twisted Sister. Finds it offensive...
Twisted Sister Renamed

Frontman to Donate Percentage of Revenue to Teenage Girls Home.
By R. U. Series
Published: July 4th, 2009

Twisted Sister frontman, Dee Snyder, announced at a press conference today that his band will be changing its name.

“Let’s face it, the term ‘Twisted Sister’ is offensive to many people and continuing to use it as the name of rock act is totally inappropriate,” said Snyder. “This is long overdue.”

Snyder went on to say that, since the band had over the past 25 years made hundreds of dollars off of merchandise featuring images of twisted teenage girls, it only made sense to use some of that money to help improve the lives of these oft forgotton minors. He announced that the band would be giving a large percentage of its revenue to The Dee Snyder Home for Teenage Girls.

No final decision has been made yet on what the new name will be, although Snyder said that he was leaning towards a name and new makeup that would be “appropriate for Los Angeles and would also refer to a group of people so historically cluless and without talent, the very mention should make fans tremble with fear for everything they consider good in this world… "Carrot Tops." :)

2. Thank you SIr.
I rarely do copycats, but this one just kinda jumped out there.
