Thirty-five years ago this month, the Chicago White Sox, with guidance from shock jock Steve Dahl, came up with the ill-fated idea of inviting fans to burn and destroy their copies of Disco-Tex & His Sex-O-Lettes on vinyl. The promotion was called “Disco Demolition Night,” and organizers expected it to be minor hit. Instead, 50,000 fans showed up, and when they weren’t chucking records like Frisbess, they were storming the field, where a large box that had been rigged with explosives blew up. Say what you will about disco (it “sucks,” perhaps), but it didn’t deserve THAT level of scorn.
Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, though? Scorn away.
The minor-league Charleston RiverDogs in Charleston, S.C., will try to recapture the magic with “Disco Demolition 2: You Better Belieb It.” The event, to be held on Saturday, will feature the destruction of Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus music and paraphernalia. The RiverDogs will play the Augusta GreenJackets, and the destruction will take place after the game. (Via)
What could go wrong?

Oh Disco Demolition Night
Must bring back good old memories for all american homophobs.
There’s no way to hate disco and not be a homophobe? My ears must really hate gay people.
what good will this do? I’m not a fan of either, but the internet has their shitty music just a click away When was the last time someone bought a cd?. I dont think it will be a very big pile. Unless you want to throw in your ipods into the fire
If Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber had a child together, how bad would that kid’s life be?
Maybe not as bad as you think – what with it likely living blissfully ignorant in the same bubble as will smith and gwyneth(mad for having to type that name) paltrows kids.
