WWHRD? was created by cartoonist Mitch Clem and is available on t-shirts and stickers at Silver Sprocket. It was inspired by two of Clem’s webcomics in his series Nothing Nice to Say WWHRD?#299 and WWHRD?#337. If you scroll down to the bottom of the Silver Sprocket merch page you’ll find a photo of Henry holding a WWHRD? sticker!

Cheers to Stuart for suggesting this post.

What is it with people called Aaron impersonating Henry Rollins? (see previous post). Here’s another one, aged three. “My 3 year old son is a punk fan who digs Henry Rollins.”

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Rollins 08 products have emerged on CafePress. Perhaps Christopher Walken needs a running mate?

Over at the intelligent design blog Telic Thoughts, the authors offer a Henry Rollins Award for Supreme Threatiness. What is threatiness you ask? According to their blog, threatiness is “when you perceive something to be a threat, without having to justify this by evidence and arguments.” Kind of like Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, I guess. The award is explained as follows:

“Sometimes, when browsing the blogosphere, you come across statements so hysterical and divorced from anything mildly resembling reality that you can do nothing but collapse over your keyboard with laughter. I’ve decided to honor these fine pieces of punditry with a prestigious award, named after Henry Rollins, a very angry man convinced that “the new Dark Ages are upon us!”

Apparently when Telic Thoughts come across these statements so hysterical and divorced from anything mildly resembling reality they’re not talking about content from their own blog.

Telic Thoughts took issue with this rant by Rollins against intelligent design. To Henry they pose the question: If you believe intelligent design is nothing but a fundamentalist plot to bring back the Dark Ages, what’s the chance that you’ll be able to be evaluate the issue objectively?

Objectively? The problem with that question of course is that this issue can not be evaluated objectively. Intelligent design is not observable or measurable, and thus belongs in the realm of theology or theological scientific philosophy, not science.

Black Flag Interview - October 19, 1985

“Henry Rollins Freak Out: Our resident punk rock enthusiast gets an interview for brother publication Maxim Online, and an ass-kicking from a childhood hero.”

A lot of people love to hate Henry. Lois Maffeo is one of them. Mistaking the myths for the man, she wrote about her hatred for Henry it in a factually inept article in the Seattle newspaper The Stranger, have a read.

HelloHenry.com is taking time out from our usual wacky Henry Rollins blogs today to pass on an urgent appeal from the West Memphis Three for their defense campaign. The campaign has reached a very critical moment. On October 29 Damien’s defense attorney’s filed a Second Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, requesting a new trial for Damien, or to release him. The writ includes compelling new evidence about the case.

DNA testing has found no evidence to link Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley or Jason Baldwin to the crime scene. Further expert reports and analysis show the prosecution’s case against Damien in the 1993 trial to be seriously flawed. For example, the wounds on the boys claimed by the prosecution to be inflicted by a knife, are shown to be caused by animals post mortem. The information compiled by Damien’s defense team is so compelling that some parents of the victims (including Pam Hobbs) have now come forward to offer their support to Damien, Jessie and Jason.

Since the dawn of the internet, fans have Photoshopped their heads onto the body of Henry Rollins. Neil from Brisbane, Australia keeps the tradition alive with this slick pic:
