Three years too old and a few hundred miles too south, plus I appreciate Scandal solely for their ability to make me laugh hysterically at their video for "The Warrior" and nothing more. Plus Dirty > Sister and I have not seen Damo Suzuki (much less his wang). I ain't got no geetar neither. That and like fifty other things wrong.

And come on, people, we're supposed to represent the ILM everyperson here! Where is the AVRIL? (he asks while choking back bile)
