Blink-182 Make Crude Barack Obama Joke at Leeds Festival

To the delight of the Northern audience, singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge dissed the festival's Southern counterpart in Reading saying, "This show hasn't happened yet but I'm going to go on record and say that Leeds is going to kick the s*** out of Reading."
Between the constant stream of belches and truly repugnant and misogynistic comments -- bassist Mark Hoppus boasting that he "shot an arrow into [Tom's] mum's vagina" -- Blink-182 played their brand of punk-lite as they continued ploughing their childish furrow as the lyric of 'All the Small Things' was changed to "She gave me blowjobs on the stairs."
And just in case anybody had missed their idea of humour, DeLonge then said he was going to "go down on Barack Obama" during a rendition of 'Anthem Part Two.' If that is the case, that won't be the only incident of Blink-182 sucking.

The only incident of sucking worth noting here is you writing this article. Do the world a favor and end your life.

Seriously, this whole thing is garbage. I cannot believe I wasted two minutes of my life reading this. Next time (and I hope you never get a next time)you critique a band, know what the hell you're getting yourself into because you obviously had no idea what you were in for. Way to go jackass! Please do us all a favor and never write again because if anything sucks, it's you and your retarded four paragraphed review.
Thanks

So instead of writing about their actual performance, or the fan reaction, or the set at all.. your complaining because they make immature jokes?
have you ever seen them perform before this at all? it's what they do. it's a care free, fun atmosphere, to get the crowd involved.
yes, it's childish, it's also hilarious and different to the majority of artists.
blink suck as performers, I will definitely say that, but if you're going to slate them, at least slate them for a reason.

'...pausing briefly to extol the crowd...'
I think you mean 'exhort' rather than 'extol' -'extolling' a crowd would mean something entirely different. *shakes head* Home-made English just won't do.
