The Disco Demolition one is a little off base. The DJ who staged it lost his job when the station he worked for changed formats. He got hired at a different rock station in Chicago and started the disco sucks thing. It was not a political protest, it was a bunch of drunk kids being led by a shock jock in faux military gear, one of which was my step dad according to him. Also disco sucks. Say what you will about how cool A disco is then realize you only are aware of the GOOD disco music at this point unless you lived through it

I was unaware of the cereal thing. Putting lots of oats in your plumbing is a pretty questionable idea so I hope some of those people self owned on that one
