Okay, so I wouldn't normally do this but when something a little crazy comes up (like this) I like to show some support.
There's this band:
www.myspace.com/flashflashflashphotography
Whose lead singer was responsible for the the creation of the Lostprophets MEGA LOLZ!!!! t shirt, and in turn the Lostprophets fansite www.megalolz.com. If you want to know why, please go to: http://www.megalolz.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3
Basically Ian Watkins, singer of Lostprophets, promised that his band Flash! Flash! Flash! Photography could support them sometime.
And now they've just announced some Download Festival warm-up dates, and quite frankly, a promise is a promise. The dates are:
June
10 CARDIFF SOLUS
11 LONDON ASTORIA
12 NORWICH UEA
So if any of you just want to show support and give these lads a chance, join up here:

They are really great live by the way.
That sire says he created MegaLOLz.
I somewhat dispute this.
Elaborate...
I am curious?
It's a very popular internet
phrase!
Plus, anyone who 'designs' a shirt saying MEGA LOLZ! deserves as much support as that cunt who 'designed' those babycakes shirts (i.e. none).
Although...
He didn't design the shirt thingy, Lostprophets did. And I didn't realize this was a fashion contest.
It's not about fashion
it's about good design!
yeah this guy should be put
in some sort of 'not allowed to design anything but still allowed some human rights' concentration camp with such horrors as the person who invented the 'save the rave' and 'product of the '80's' t shirts.
Ok...
again, he didn't design a shirt.
Last time i checked.
You mean... like Topman?
:D
Haha
That was quiet funny.
I give you that.
But, it's more about music then it is about a t-shirt design.
I hope.
Music is more important
but these guys just don't appear to be any good at either. Obviously that's just my opinion, but I'd expect many on dis would share that.
Everyone...
who has seen them live will disagree with you there.

Basically...
You might hate the Megalolz thing, I know I do and the lead singer of Flash! does too, but this isn't about the t-shirt design and nor is it about claiming that Megalolz was an original phrase.
This is about a band who consist of people twenty-five years old and up who love music made by teenagers. They're not aiming to break markets or make money but instead have a good time and I think that is evident in their music (which currently consists of a couple of poorly recorded live recordings).
I'd rather they have the slot than The Blackout or Bring Me The Horizon etc.
If you don't like them then don't join the group and please insult them in the most descriptive and offensive way. But if you do then please add the group and maybe come see them when they tour in June.
what?
'really great live'?
Piss off. I've seen these guys and out of tune, out of time, tired, blah blah blah.
Tubelord salvaged that night for me as to be honest I was wondering why I'd paid to see those jokers.
they seriously need
to support lostprofits. and their lead singer DID inspire the creation of those t-shirts.
Whether you think that's a good thing or not is irrelevant. He did.
They seem like very nice chaps doing it for the fun of it, definitely not a career-band if there is such a thing (lostprophets?) and watkins did promise them, so I think they deserve their moment in the sun.
they deserve to be thrown into the sun
you
deserve to be thrown into the sun. YES IT TOOK ME A WHOLE MONTH TO THINK OF THAT.
They don't sound too great on the old myspace . . .
It may just be the recordings.
