Appetite for meme destruction

In this week's installment of celebrities making absurd, narcissistic, hilarious demands — I give you Axl Rose. The Guns N' Roses frontman has demanded that Google remove a handful of unflattering images of the rocker. The "Fat Axl Rose" meme comes from 2010-era Axl, a time when he had apparently eaten a few too many Whoppers.

The photos of the gruff singer are often accompanied by tweaked GNR lyrics. Such as: "Take me down to the bakery city, where the pies have cream and the cakes are tasty."

Of course, the likelihood of Rose getting these (awesome) memes scraped from Google is about as likely as a "Chinese Democracy" sequel.
