The Kensington Police Department on Prince Edward Island in Canada has announced via Facebook that it intends to punish anybody caught drunk driving this holiday season with a ride to jail listening to everyone’s least favorite Canadian rock band, Nickleback. Obviously, if you’re a drunk living on Prince Edward Island, now would be a good time to seek treatment.

The tongue-in-cheek post has divided the community, with some criticising Kensington Police Service for making light of a serious issue, while others hit out at them failing to support Canadian music.

There were also those, however, who didn’t feel they had hit quite the right note – and suggested there was another Canadian native who would work even better.

“Don’t hate on Nickelback!! They are a good band. Use someone like Justin Bieber. No one will ever think twice about drinking and driving if you use Bieber,” the cheeky Facebook user argued.

Ahahahhahaha, you can always count on some white knight Nickleback fan to chime in and defend the band. Granted that fan is usually just one of the band members using a fake name, but still. Also, why you gonna throw Justin Bieber under the bus? You’re both Canadian, you should stick together just like two sweaty butt cheeks.

Thanks to Jonny, who agrees the best thing to hear on your way to jail is the arresting officer telling you this was all just a joke perpetuated by your friends.
