Band 'dumps sewage on tourists'

[ze_dscherman]

US rock group The Dave Matthews Band have been accused of dumping human waste from a bus into a river, dousing a tour boat filled with passengers.
More than 100 people on an architecture tour were showered with foul-smelling sewage in the incident on 8 August.

The driver of a bus leased by the band allegedly emptied the septic tank through a grate in the bridge and into the Chicago River below.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan said: "This incident may be unique, but that does not lessen the environmental or public health risks posed by the release of at least 800 pounds of liquid human waste into a busy waterway and onto a crowded tour boat."

2. doesn't seem to be the case from the story.

That seems so out of character for a usually socially-conscious band...

5. That riverboat tour of Chicago architecture is really cool.

I went on it last year and it was very enjoyable.

Fortunately, my particular tour was free of both feces and Dave Matthews Band music.

6. The "headline" stating that the band dumped the waste

is incorrect. It was the bus driver. Of course that does not sound as exciting.
I'm not blaming you ze_dscherman, all the "news" is stating it that way.

7. It's not waste, it's pre-digitized Dave Matthews Band Music. A gift.

:puke:

8. First they dump shitty music on us...

then they actually dump their feces on us. It shows what they think of us little people.
