In this case, the person in question actually <i>was</i> going to see Nickelback but didn't want his/her friends to know (for obvious reasons), and thus put it in quotation marks so that the friends would think he/she was <i>really</i> going to see a band so awesomely indie that said friends wouldn't have ever heard of them. But in truth, the sign-maker is, in fact, one of the four Nickelback fans, and is (rightfully) ashamed of that fact.James Gilmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06882975452114924974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14107862.post-26908808298636809162009-11-18T18:58:18.066-06:002009-11-18T18:58:18.066-06:00@anonymause--totally agree.
