Take It Like A Man

In prepping him for upcoming brain surgery, a doctor tells his patient that he may experience some temporary side-effects like a loss of memory or a loss of motor skills. Concerned, the guy asks the doctor "Will I still hate Nickelback?"

Whatever happened to taking responsibility for your actions? In 2006, Chad Kroeger of Nickelback was stopped for speeding and the officer, smelling alcohol on Kroeger's breath, requested a breath sample. The reading was 0.14, almost twice the legal limit and in court, the Nickelback frontman was found guilty, fined $600, and had his license suspended for a year.

His lawyer plans to appeal the conviction, saying that Kroeger's rights were violated when the officer asked him to blow in his face after he got a whiff of alcohol.

Kroeger, who told reporters that he doesn't condone drinking and driving, has not said that he wasn't guilty of the DUI or speeding offence. He simply said that he "made a mistake".

Will the conviction affect his ability to travel to the U.S.? Yep. Will it affect his bottom line? Yep. So what? It does to every other person convicted of DUI, only the vast majority don't have Chad's wealth. While he could retire today and probably live very comfortably off his residuals, most people with a DUI conviction realize a serious hardship as a result.

Chad, you broke the law and you got busted fair and square. It's time to stand up and face the music. After all, you did wanna be a big rockstar.
