Amusement: Slipknot vs Slipknot

[snapkat]

It's a serious issue, of course, when a website gets the Wrong Sort of Visitors Altogether. But I did giggle at parts of this 2002 article on the BBC website: Slipknot? Not known at this e-mail address.

 

It starts off as follows:

How did US shock-rock band Slipknot get tangled up with the UK's Knitting and Crochet Guild? Thanks to the internet, of course.

 

That the 1,000-odd British members of the Knitting and Crochet Guild have been mistaken for the nine masked rockers of the US band Slipknot is one of those culture clashes the internet has a habit of causing.

The rest of the article gives the full story.

 

I like the chairman of the guild's comment at the end of the article.
