actually, it was a rock and edited to put the pickle in....good on them actually.
I was at sars and the idiots there were throwing water bottles at Justin Timberlake. It made me embarassed to be a Canadian.........
Update. Apparently, the giant pickle is more popular than the giant poodle known as Chad.

Nickelback lose popularity contest to a pickle. A Facebook group for lovers of cured cucumbers has gained more fans the knuckle-dragging Canadian crew. It's like Rage Against the Machine and Joe McElderry all over again. Canadian band Nickelback, the gravelly paragon of what's known as "modern rock", are in a Facebook popularity contest with a deli delicacy. And they're losing.
At the time of writing, 1,420,995 lanky-haired rock fans have declared their love for Nickelback by subscribing to the band's official Facebook page. Meanwhile, a coalition of 1,471,001 Nickelback haters (and lovers of cured cucumbers) have joined a group called, "Can this pickle get more fans than Nickleback [sic]?" And they are ahead by about 50,000.
"WE DID IT!" exclaimed Coral Anne, the pickle campaign's chief organiser, earlier this week. "Salute the almighty pickle!" Coral Anne, who is also a fan of Nine Inch Nails, Salvador Dali and "meowing back at a cat when it meows at you", launched the page less than a month ago. Forced by Facebook's policies to misspell Nickelback's name in the group description, Coral Anne's project was inspired by a different, less successful initiative – to find Facebook users who preferred onion rings to pop-singer Justin Bieber.
"This is all strictly intended for humour," Coral Anne explained. "I am not using this page to endorse any hate toward the band Nickelback ... I do not wish Nickelback, or any other bands, any ill will and hope they would see the same humour in making this page as I have."
While Nickelback have yet to issue an official response, frontman Chad Kroeger has reportedly sent a terse notice to the pickle-backers. According to a screenshot posted by the Daily Swarm, Kroeger wrote: "Your page will be closing in two weeks." Coral Anne's triumphant response? "I still whooped your ass, Chad!
"
This is getting funny.
