Go to Jail. Go directly to jail.  Do not pass go.  Apparently, Billy Corgan didn't realize that he had a reputation of being a whiny little bitch during the nineties.  It wasn't specifically because his music had as much edge as a wheel of cheese.  It wasn't because he looks like Christopher Walken's test tube  baby.  It was most likely because of shit like this.  Below is a post from rateyourmusic.com.

"Two fans snuck into the SP rehearsal space and took copies of some promotional photos that haven't been released. They posted one on this forum, and someone got into their photobucket, and viola, they were leaking all over the net. '

Now, the person who unwillingly leaked the photos is being held in the 18th precinct in Chicago. The Pumpkins/Their Management/The Record Company, someone, is pressing FELONY charges on them. For petty theft of a few pictures. "

Now, any normal band, with the possible exception of Metallica, would try to blame their record company for charging their fans.  It's a win-win situation.  Everybody knows that record companies are spineless and soul-less.  This way, the band gets to keep their integrity, while still fucking over their fans.  Below is the response from the band's management.

"Management for The Smashing Pumpkins confirms that the band's rehearsal studio in Chicago was burglarized last week.

The two people who are now in jail illegally gained access to the band's private space and stole various items belonging to them over the course of several hours while the band had left for the evening.

The band's management says the group feels their rights have been violated by this crime and will always pursue their rights and the law to protect their property and the safety of themselves, their families and their fans"

Maybe this is a lame way to bring attention to to a band that has failed to garner any attention since announcing that they were getting back together.  They have a new album and possibly a tour to promote.  They should have used the Blogs N' Roses marketing methods instead.  That includes:

One part condoms.
Two parts baking soda
One adolescent Mexican migrant worker
A can of lysol (Raspberry Breeze scent)

What you do with them is up to you, but we promise marketing magic.
