A blog has launched called Arcade Fire Stole My Basketball which accuses the group’s Win Butler of basketball theft. Blog owner Chris H. claims Butler walked off with his basketball after a lengthy dispute over who could shoot hoops on a particular UC Berkley court.
” … After I finished playing I realized my basketball was missing. I remembered last seeing it on the court where Mr. Butler was shooting around with a few other guys. … I described my ball to the young woman working the desk. I told her that I had drawn stars on the ball so nobody would take it by mistake. She said: ‘The lead singer of Arcade Fire took your basketball.’”
Will Butler, the brother of the accused, has launched the blog Arcade Fire Didn’t Steal Dude’s Basketball to defend his sibling.
Chris Harrel? surely not.
OH NOES! SOMEBODY STOLES MY BASKETBALLZ!
Hahaha… the baby getting kicked in the head is disturbingly funny.
Attention whore.
It’s a BASKETBALL! For christs sake.
That’s bad form. We take care of people round these parts if you steal our balls. I mean…
If it were me, I’d tell that story for the rest of my life. “Oh yeah? You shook Jeff Tweedy’s hand once? I remember back in ought-seven when Win Butler stole my basketball.”
What is more lame: the fact that they’re arguing over a basketball, or the fact that they’re doing so through blogs?
this is too funny:D
Whoa. Don’t let Aaron Gillespie near that thing!
The Arcade Fire frontman totally stole my pen cap and I want it back!
Finally…a conspiracy!
