Is this where I confess that even though a) I like Fall Out Boy , b) I do like the song Hum Hallelujah and c) I know that Pete Wentz actually did (Allegedly) take an overdose while listening to Jeff buckley's Hallelujah in a van and that is what the song is about.... I STILL get the giggles when the Cohen's Hallelujah part of the song comes around. Because it was in so many montages.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Because books.
I think I was mis-reading "taking the piss" as "making fun of", rather than "having fun with". Ah the internets....
This was my take, too. And no, Tep, I get that you like it, and you're not harshing on it! (Also, isn't Teenagers awesome? And House of Wolves?)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I could be using it wrong; I always thought that "taking the piss" was the equivalent of "not taking what you're saying/doing seriously," with an element of poking fun at youself for the level on which your words/actions *could* be interpreted as DEADLY SERIOUS.
Also, isn't Teenagers awesome?
LOVE!!!
And House of Wolves?
Hell yes, it is!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Gerard is going to go as big and fabulous as he can. My guess is he'd consider "over the top" to be both a fair assessment and a compliment.
Some interview somewhere mentions some exchange along the lines of:
"Are we taking this too far?" "Yes. Can we take it further?"

Is it wrong of me to think that this is HILARIOUS?! (Knowing he survived obviously.) sheesh!

Steph, I would say that they're pretty sincere about TBP, but also self-aware enough to recognize it as totally over the top. The stage shows for it had fire and tickertape, for crying out loud.
So while their tongues were not near their cheeks, it doesn't have the self-importance that ALW crap does.

OMG! I am so glad I am not the only one that laughs at this-- but only Pete Wentz would try to kill himself listening to the most overplayed TV montage song ever.

Because books.
Likewise, the title of Seven Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen) CRACKS ME UP. I mean, come on! Brilliant!

The story about Wentz's overdose is true. He was battling depression, and playing fast and loose with his medications, and he took an overdose of Ativan while sitting in his sister's car in a Best Buy parking lot. Before he lost consciousness he called his manager, who called his mom, and they went and picked him up and took him to the hospital.
