Skinflint Defined
An unreasonably thrifty person; someone who doesn't part with their money easily.

Jerks. You had to ruin it for everyone, didn't you? A bunch of goddamn skinflints is what you are. Last month, the good folks of Radiohead decided to put their new album, In Rainbows, online and let its fans choose how much they would like to pay for the digital copy. And you know how much most people decided to pay?

Zero dollars. Nada. Zilch. Nothing. Zippo. Fuck all.

Indeed, around 62 percent of downloaders chose to rip off the band, while the remaining number of downloaders chose to pay, on average, around $6 for the album. And you know what that means, right?

It means that, in the future, artists will not try going this route again. And while I didn't download Radiohead's album (Thom Yorke's sonic voice bounces around the empty pockets of my skull and gives me a headache), I'll never get the chance to piggyback off the goodwill of paying customers and rip off my favorite artist: Chumbawamba.

Christmas is ruined. Thanks for nothing, America.

But you can still sing the songs that remind you of the good times, after the jump.
