Why he might be annoying:

    He ran for Mayor of San Francisco, but lost (1979). He campaigned that all business men be forced to wear clown suits between the hours of 9 to 5.
    After announcing that he was running for President in 2000, he named convicted cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal as his running-mate.
    During his 2000 Presidential campaign, fans of his parodied the 'What Would Jesus Do?' saying with 'What Would Jello Do?'
    He doesn't particularly care to much for his ex-Dead Kennedys band mates.
    He was sued by ex-members for past royalties and access to the Dead Kennedys' back catalog in 2001.
    He was in a horrible movie with Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf, Corey Feldman, Dee Dee Ramone, Gary the Retard, & Maynard James Keenan.
    He was loud-mouthed as a kid.
    He is friends with Wesley Willis.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is a political left-wing extremist.
    He argued with his Conservative teacher in the 6th grade.
    When the Dead Kennedys' album Frankenchrist was released in 1985, a replica poster of the artist H.R. Giger's painting 'Penis Landscape' was included. Conservatives got angry, and Biafra's apartment was raided. He went to court on charges of 'distributing harmful matter to minors' (1986). Jello fought the charges and cited his first amendment rights instead of paying a $2,000 fine and spending a year in jail. He won the case (1987).
    He studied acting at the University of California.
    The other ex-members of the Dead Kennedys released their old album and a live album (that Biafra didn't like) on other labels, but left Biafra without a say in everything - he wasn't even given credit for writing some of his own songs.
    After the Dead Kennedys released 'Frankenchrist,' the police raided his apartment and charged him with 'Distributing Harmful Matter to Minors.' He fought the charges and was eventually acquitted. He then wrote the song 'Let's Lynch the Landlord' about it.
    He hated the fact that his song 'Holiday in Cambodia' was used for a Levi's commercial, citing that they used unfair business practices.
    He said: 'Don't HATE the media, BECOME the media!'
    He teamed up with Ministry's Al Jourgensen to form the odd-ball band Lard.
    He sang in the one-night-only band called No WTO Combo with Nirvana's Krist Noveselic and Soundgarden's Kim Thayil. One of the songs they played was 'Full Metal Jackoff,' which they dedicated to, as Jello refers to him, King George II.
