If it wasn't abundantly clear that they really don't give a flying monkeys what anyone things of their music, we'd be starting to feel a bit sorry for Nickelback.
The latest in a barrage of "Nickelback are terrible" news stories, following on from the crowdfunding campaign to ban the band from playing in London, and two men getting arrested for saying the word "Nickelback", is that a man is raising money for charity by listening to their music solidly for a whole week.
As CoS reports, Jesse Carey launched the "ultimate test of endurance" this week, during which he will listen to nothing but Nickelback on a loop for 168 hours. He's putting himself though this in aid of Charity: Water, an organisation which builds water wells in developing countries.

On his fundraising page, Carey writes, "THANK YOU to everyone who has given and supported my dream to plum the depths of the human psyche as I embark on mankind’s greatest test of the powers of good and evil: In the battle between the music of Nickelback and the human spirit, who will emerge victorious?"
Carey's initial target was a fairly ambitious $10,000 - but such is the vitriole of the anti-Nickelback community, he has already raised $18,318 and counting.
