From "The Onion"...

Fun at the expense of sousaphones/tubas---nope, never seen THAT before. Still humorous though.

Bummer - now my son has become addicted to "Frets on Fire" (open source version of Guitar Hero) I was counting on this to set him on the right path

My favorite part:

"...Others have complained that the third valve is used only at the expert level, that even proficient players only score a maximum of 60 points per song, and that the "oompah" meter stays the same shade of gray even if every note is hit. Some also reported that, if not cleaned regularly, the plastic mouthpiece gets crusty."

How true it is, and also how sad...

this proves a very valuable point though...not even the indestructable video game buiseness can live without tubas. (even if the game did flop...we're still on the globe)

Sean's already locked one of these threads on the Sousaphone Hero. I have counted five threads on this subject in the TubeNet and Off Topic forums. I think they need to be thinned down to one thread.
