That’s right! At 9:49 this morning, Idolator was blessed with a 2-pound, 4 zillion-world bundle of joy from the good people at Globix Corporation; while that might sound like the name of a made-up pharmaceutical firm, it’s actually a web-policing firm employed by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. Anyway, they were none too happy about a Killers MP3 we hosted six days ago–possibly because we made fun of Brandon Flowers’ mustache–and so now it’s down.
Clearly, this is a momentous occasion for us, and to celebrate, we’re passing out cigars and playing our illegally bittorrented version of Sam’s Club at full blast. And frankly, we can’t tell if it’s the fumes or the tunes that’s making us more ill.
UPDATE: Turns out Globix is somr sort of ISP-kinda-thingee. Actually, we’re still not sure. We just know that it’s not a web-policing firm.
If they really wanted to punish you guys, they would have sat you down and made you watch both Killers performances from SNL this week. If they were really sadistic, they could have even worked in some Dane Cook sketches.
Be thankful those label types are so merciful.
They just didn’t want anyone to find out how bad the album is.
Man, I KNEW there was a Globex reference somewhere in my brain, but I couldn’t remember; if only I’d gotten off my business hammock and taken a look. Thanks Pengin.

I thought those were Dane Cook sketches!
You have arrived. Congrats!
Please scan and post on the site, that would be even more edgy!
