Did you see the cover of the NY Post yesterday? Twisted Sister in bold letters across the front page... unfortunetly talking about the sister of Boston Marathon bombers. All publicity is good publictiy or sue them?

Oh. well. darn. (but from the look of it….they didn't use the actual Twisted FONT, which is what i thought folks said they used)

Even so….I hate that they associate the name Twisted Sister with scumbag murderers.

Yes ... it's bullshit associating the TS name with these assholes...

Something similar happened to the band Anthrax in the past, and now is happening with the metal band ISIS

Bullcrap

I agree with you and Terry. I dont like it. I was in Pace Law Shool albeit 20 years ago, but had to leave due to open heart surgery. Although it might be a baseless law suit, there could still be some form of relief. Anthrax and TS playef to help victims of September 11th and should never be associated with the terrorists. I plan to write a strongly worded letter to the editor of the Post. I may not be a lawyer but I am a fighter and I hope they will cease the defamation of lil ole Twisted Sister!
