Kid Rock just wants to be a cowboy, baby. He's upping the ante from his recent endorsement of stealing music; now he's telling the kids to steal everything. In a curious public service announcement uploaded to YouTube, Mr. Bob Ritchie lambasts the music industry, Tommy Hilfiger, big oil, Apple and Microsoft, and Toyota Motors for the billions of dollars in collective profits they reap yearly. Nothing is safe from Kid Rock's anti-corporate ire: "I'm fuckin' rich," he rasps. "So how can I bitch about someone downloading a song or two?"
The police better keep an eye on the suburbs, because white teenagers are about to get rowdy. It's one of those things that really has to be seen to be believed, so here are the words from Rock himself:Related links:

Black kids can't live in the suburbs?
"Bob" is rich BECAUSE he got paid for his music...which wouldn't be the case if it were stolen instead of purchased. See what happens when you give white trash money?
It seems like a satire to me. Is he smart enough to do a satire? Or only smart enough to do publicity stunts?
