deeznutsEvery now and then, a news story pops up that no one can ignore. Kind of like last year, when a 15 year-old kid from Iowa nominated himself for President under the name Deez Nuts. The kid probably took his name from the skit on Dr. Dre’s The Chronic. That’s also presumably where the Melbourne, Australia hardcore band Deez Nuts took their dumb name from. At any rate, while they haven’t really made that many inroads here in America, the band is getting more exposure than they’d ever dreamed of, and not necessarily in a good way (yes, we’re aware we just said Deez Nuts are getting exposure).

Two alleged ISIS terrorists were reportedly captured in Syria by the Free Syrian Army. In a photograph that’s spreading around the internet like wildfire, one of them is proudly wearing a Deez Nuts shirt. It looks like he got off easy, as his friend appears to be a little more roughed up than he was. According to the Daily Mail, his name and nationality is unknown at this time. No statement from Deez Nuts yet, the band or the presidential candidate.
