Does anyone care? (Score:1)

I actually watched this episode and though not completely accurate you get the idea. The question actually asked was - "What New York based punk band had a song called 'I want to be sedated'?" The guy answering 'The Smiths' came in second to a girl who should have been voted off long before. She was really not very smart. Does anyone really care?

I remeber an other Weakest Link episode where one of the questions actually was: "In pop music, who was the lead singer for The Smiths?" The guy answered correctly. That kind of made my day.

This is so stupid. Who the hell cares. We do not need to know when anyone mentions the word Smith. Please stop putting this stupid stuff on the site.

i think it's interesting when The Smiths and/or Morrissey are mentioned. i don't care how trival the nod.

isn't it proof that they made significant impact, although virtually ignored & maligned (at least in the U.S.)?

people forget how easily The Smiths are dismissed due to how Morrissey is perceived (as an individual or solo artist).

also, if on a game show, i might throw a question just to publicize The Smiths and/or Morrissey.
