Man on internet offers Weezer $10 mil to quit

He's serious! Flame him!

There's a few problems with this approach. For one thing, Weezer could take the money and reform as Weizer. Or Rezeew. Secondly, the money could be put to better use. It's possible there are poor people somewhere saying "yes, we lack clean water and mosquito netting, but we too are annoyed by Weezer, so yes, by all means, hit that Paypal button." This is the humorless, literal-minded objection raised by people who leave comments on the campaign's page. They are ANGRY ABOUT HIS PRIORITIES. To quote from the campaign's mission statement:

Yes, he's obviously serious, and deserves to be flamed to a cinder.
