McBurtles!!!
Article from The Metro, free English newspaper on public transport.
http://metro.co.uk/2014/03/13/mcburt...rtles-4556600/ http://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/mcfly.jpg McFly and Busted joined forces last year to form super group McBusted, but what happens when you add super heroes to the mix? THIS! It’s the stuff every kid who lived through the nineties dreamed of – coming face to shell with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – and we couldn’t help get a tad excited at this. Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael left their New York sewer lair to drop in on one of McBusted’s music rehearsals and surprise the band – well, one half at least (McFly) with an honorary Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Award for Favourite UK Band of the Decade. Oh, that’s a bit awkward isn’t it, to only give some of the band a prize? Not at all, Busted’s Matt Willis and James Bourne already knew and were only too happy to help the cartoon stars, who actually celebrate their 30th anniversary this year. McFly are the first band to receive the award and were pleased as punch. ‘Back in 2007 we were the UK hosts of Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards handing out the blimps rather than receiving them,’ said Tom Fletcher. ‘McFly’s 10 years have been insanely awesome and having the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles award us Favourite Band of the Decade has to be one of the highlights. Cowabunga dudes!’ A video of McBusted’s encounter with the Turtles will be shown during the Kids’ Choice Awards which airs on Nickelodeon in the UK on Sunday March 30 from 5pm. One Direction, Little Mix and The Wanted are among the list of nominees hoping to also take home a prize. Cowabunga dudes. Three of the band members do actually like the ninja turtles but it's the old '87 cartoon. Quite amusing reading Tom's (guy with the glasses) comments as he doesn't like the Nickelodeon series. This is off his twitter. Quote:

It annoys me (and I say this as a fan of both bands) that Tom won't give the Nick series time of day because it is incredible and to be fair, his reaction was based on the trailer. As many of our initial reactions were - let's be honest, it doesn't show the show in the best light. I think if he sat down and watched the first few episodes he'd be hooked.
That being said I'm equally relieved that he isn't raving about it because I don't want a load of scene kids suddenly throwing the words 'my childhood' out on twitter because they 'have' to agree with, and like everything he says and does. Btw Cubed I wasn't joking when I said three of them are fans of TMNT. They just aren't 'into' every series or study it like a teenager studies boybands.

I can't believe they're judging a whole show based on a stupid catchphrase. THAT'S a disgrace. Clearly those are the kind of people who can't accept anything other than their precious nostalgia...or "casuals" as you guys call them.

Huh, wow, McFly was my sister's favorite band like seven years ago. I was wondering where they went off to.
Well, it sounds like three of them like it anyway. Ah, well, maybe he'll come around eventually. Haha, and, yeah, I'm sure he'll tweet about the movie, too! xD |
