Blothar From GWAR Has A Special Message About Public Broadcasting

Posted • July 17, 2025: How to explain GWAR. GWAR is a satirical metal band that formed while this editor was still in high school. GWAR performs in elaborate costumes, claiming to be extraterrestrial warriors banished to Earth. Their live shows are something. Sadly, GWAR couldn't manage to be as disturbing in its pitch for public broadcasting as Robert Reich and his Elmo doll, but Blothar gave it his best shot. "Rise up in the name of Big Bird!" Sorry, but shilling for PBS and NPR is decidedly not metal. I have the Internet now, public TV is obsolete. I love y'all, but the Internet is way faster than public "media." Besides, most of the shit they broadcast is propaganda. You're wrong on this one, tax money should not go to an organization that's one-sided. Have you listened to NPR lately, or watched PBS? The political bias is seething in almost every program. They are no longer FOR everyone. So it only makes sense that EVERYONE shouldn't be paying for it.

Let the people who donate and want it take care of it. 🤷‍♀️ Music will survive. We bet GWAR listens to NPR on the tour bus all the time. You guys turned into a huge giant pussy. Maybe pay more attention to what PBS is trying to teach the kids today before posting a video of ignorance. The guys in GWAR are so old now that the only memory they have of PBS is "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood." Fred Rogers was more metal than you guys.
