A Hair-Raising Trend

In the ongoing saga of “What Will They Think of Next?” conspiracy theories, a new contender has entered the ring. This one claims that immigrants in Springfield, OH and maybe in Aurora, CO are on a strange new diet — your pets.

Yes, you heard that right, folks. This is very true according to some right-wing media personalities and internet conspiracy theorists. Thanks to Donald Trump who brought this important danger to limelight during his debate last night and thanks to JD Vance and Elon Musk — a concept of genius in every bigoted stupid man’s mind, we now know our furry friends are at risk. Even if the local police have vehemently denied such things happening in their cities, who are we to argue with such credible sources like Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk? Right?

While we can all agree this is as absurd as hearing that aliens only speak in binary code, it does make for some cautionary take. Today, as a responsible citizen and a lover of music, I have decided to take this theory to its illogical conclusion by warning certain musicians and bands to steer clear of these perilous towns. Because who knows? Maybe your love of music could make you the next target!

If you are one of those musicians or belong to one such band listed below, consider this your friendly, albeit bizarre, warning to steer clear of these cities.

Let’s break it down, one band at a time.

The Lineup of the Doomed

Three Dog Night

Known for hits like “Joy to the World” and “Mama Told Me Not to Come,” this band should add “Don’t Go to Springfield” to their repertoire. With three dogs in your name, you might as well be a walking buffet!

Snoop Dogg

From his rap empire to his recent culinary and Olympic adventures, Snoop seems unstoppable. But Springfield and Aurora and any other city with such culinary problems might just have the secret ingredient to halt his progress — dog-eating immigrants.

Fo’ shizzle, Snoop, stay away from these places or risk becoming part of a bizarre urban legend. Stick to gin and juice — not cities where your stage name could put you on the menu.

Stray Cats

The Stray Cats brought us hits like “Rock This Town,” but they might want to reconsider rocking Springfield. Roaming the streets there could lead to more than just a catfight — it could be the last gig you’d want to play. These rockabilly legends better keep their distance unless they want to get ‘adopted’ into someone’s questionable dinner plans.

Cat Stevens

The artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, now Yusuf Islam, may have found peace and spirituality, but he won’t find either in these towns. He gave us “Wild World,” but he would be wise to remember this world could get a lot wilder in cities like Aurora and Springfield. If you find yourself humming “Peace Train,” just make sure that train doesn’t stop anywhere near this pet-eating danger zone. Besides, with a name like Yusuf Islam, you are better off staying away from most of America.

Pussycat Dolls

Ladies, your provocative dance routines might attract fans, but in Springfield and Aurora, you might also attract a different kind of attention. I just don’t want your fans end up writing obituaries with headlines such as “Don’t Cha” wish you’d read this warning sooner?

Atomic Kitten

These British pop stars should consider reactivating their atomic shields before venturing into these parts of America. Your “Love Doesn’t Have to Hurt,” but it might if you wander into pet-hungry territories. Atomic Kitten once asked, “Whole Again?”. Well, being in Springfield or Aurora could make staying whole a bit tricky. Your atomic energy might explode, but we’d rather not see it in a microwave.

The Turtles

Though not directly feline or canine, The Turtles should still watch out. The word on the debate stage is that this absurd trend might not be stopping at just cats or dogs but are spreading to all pets. That means you too, The Turtles. Keep your shells on and stay far away. With their feel-good tunes like “Happy Together,” The Turtles would probably be happier anywhere but Springfield.

Pet Shop Boys

Pet Shop Boys, pioneers of synth-pop, should probably keep their electronic beats away from Aurora. With hits like “West End Girls” and “It’s a Sin,” you’d think these veterans have seen it all. But trust us, gents, this is one phenomenon you don’t want to experience. We don’t need to see your name rebranded to “Pet Shop” specials on any menus. Stick to the playlist, not the dinner list because your “Pets” aren’t safe.

Pitbull

Mr. Worldwide himself, Pitbull, needs to make sure his “Fireball” doesn’t bring him to Springfield. You might love your nickname, but trust us, there are places where it’s more a curse than a blessing. Stick to the 305 and avoid any “pit stops” in these towns. Your fiery performance might just end up being the spice some folks around here are looking for.
Dale!

Sick Puppies

Already sounding a bit under the weather, Sick Puppies better double down on their health precautions. This alternative rock trio could find themselves in a sick situation in Aurora or Springfield. No amount of headbanging can save you from this hungry crowd in these cities. The last thing you need is becoming a part of someone’s twisted culinary experiment.

Final Bark & Purr

There you have it, folks — a public service announcement for a few of our beloved animal-named musicians and bands. There may be more of you out there with such names. So, please consider this as a well-intended warning to you all as well.

It might all sound like a sick joke propagated by the fringes of society, but hey, better safe than sorry.

Stay safe and stay skeptical! More importantly, stay pawsitive and keep your musical talents away from these pet-grabbing zones. While this conspiracy theory is just another example of internet craziness, it’s always fun to imagine the ludicrous ways it could impact our world and be prepared. Rest assured, there’s no actual danger, at least as far as I know, but if you’re named after a pet, it wouldn’t hurt to stay cat-tious..err..cautious.

Or, at the very least, carry some pepper spray.
