Higher purpose? I wouldn't of thought so...then the shirts.


Political Agenda? He called him out publicly as a Globalist Shill, a purported unbiased journalist from CNN. Get a chorus of rockers singing the same meme and that's the kind of playground bully shit celebs get silenced for cause they might start to make a difference.


We'll see if Cooper plays along at some point one way or the other...I'm sure Billy will be asked about it as well. I for one would like to see him double down on the Globalist Shill angle.

The fact that he was aware of the existence of STRTJ always was a "whoa, wild" kind of thing to me. Didn't think his clip (which I hadn't actually seen until tonight in that Pitchfork article) was that mean spirited, but I guess I'd be bugged by it too.

But probably wouldn't be "make t-shirts about it" bugged.

And if I did... yeah, no logo.
Sweet, Cooper likes Pavement.

I hadn't seen the clip before today either, it's actually pretty funny... Figures Corgan would be enraged about it

True. Billy did the same type of thing when the band "came back" the 3rd time around with Byrne at the Record Day fest... He introduced his "son" in the wrestling mask and of course that got all sorts of headlines in the press.

Dudes all about the publicity.

i'm surprised so many people are tut-tutting billy for doing this. i think it's one of the best/funniest thing he's done in a while. he definitely has a bad history of holding grudges and picking fights with people that needle him, but the anderson cooper diss was not only totally out of left field and oddly personal, it was for a charity organization for cats! tldr, Fuck You Anderson Cooper

Listen hamster brain, the shirt is fresh and its yet to be commented on by AC. Maybe he will, or likely won't. Point is, its in play now and what's a Globalist Shill to do?

Exactly. It's one of the more "typical Billy" things he's done in a while not involving a wrestling group. I don't know, I was beginning to wonder whether or not aliens had abducted the real Billy Corgan in 2010 but this shows it's still him. Not sure why people are surprised.

I think there has been a misunderstanding that stemmed from my post on the other page that some quoted. I understand what happened between Billy and Cooper (which I really think some people are blowing out of proportion) but what I don't understand is why all of you are so upset at Cooper too. Did he do or say something or do you all just hate him because Billy does?

it's also fun to call out and ridicule someone for slipping a super ignorant and personally vicious segment to fill a slow news day. his whole thing was dumb too - "he's not rock/he's sold out because he's posing with cats" - this was all hashed out in this thread or another one.

I don't understand the people who hate cooper for this. He is just reading a teleprompter.

That was done by paws.

Billy is trying hard to get media attention. He even called alex jones to write a conspiracy.

this should answer it.




jfc, just when they played a good show and I think "SP" is on a saner path, they do their best to shit all over it. "Anderson CIA Cooper HIT PIECE" - can you get any lower and any dumber, I don't
know

Speaking exclusively to Infowars, Corgan made it clear that Cooper’s attack was a desperate attempt to try and blur the line between right and wrong.
Given Corgan’s propensity for speaking truth to power, Cooper’s so-called analysis comes off as an underhanded smear attempt, especially in light of the fact that The Smashing Pumpkins are getting set to release their new album Monuments to an Elegy next month. But then again the CNN anchor has long been suspected of being a CIA operative.

oh dear lord...and to think he was doing alright there for a moment. Such a fucking drama queen.

Since I don't know much about Cooper I asked someone who does, and this person told me that his ridiculist segment is meant to be a joke and that nobody ever takes it seriously. She then told me that Cooper is also an animal rights activist and owns like 6 fucking cats and dogs, so it's not like he hates helping animals or people that help animals.

Hang on, what? Smear attempt?! This happened months ago and everyone fucking forgot about it until he decided to bring it up again. Billy thinks way too fucking highly of himself if he truly believes this was some sinister attempt by Cooper to smear him.

I can't imagine that this is anything but an attempt to gain attention and generate media hits by Billy. So fucking shameless.

For objectivities sake, I went and saw Cooper's entire Corgan segment. After watching it, I'm convinced that most people didn't even bother actually seeing it and that this is possibly the most overblown story I've ever seen. Cooper didn't even make fun of Billy for helping animals, at all, he actually even made fun of himself for posing for WebMD. He then went on to talk about other alternative rock stars. I think the most controversial comment he said during that entire thing is that he thinks they kind of sound like a derivative of MBV (which really isn't even a bad thing considering).
