Nickelback pissed at the pickle

The Facebook group that set out to get more fans for a pickle than the band Nickelback has succeeded. Late last week the pickle overtook Nickelback, and now has about 1.5 million fans.

It's obnoxious, self-serving and I'm not sure who's supposed to be excited about it...

However, if you slightly alter the soundtrack the commercial makes much more sense:
