#27TheDominator Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 http://www.nme.com/news/various-artists/67854 Photo: PA A man in Sweden has been reportedly awarded state disability benefits for his addiction to heavy metal. According to the Global Post, 42-year-old Roger Tullgren said he consulted three psychologists to testify his addiction to the Devil's Rock, which led to him attending over 300 concerts last year, leaving him seemingly unable to hold down a job. "I have been trying for 10 years to get this classified as a handicap," he told Swedish newspaper The Local. "I spoke to three psychologists and they finally agreed that I needed this to avoid being discriminated against." According to the report, he now has a part-time job as a dishwasher at a restaurant in Hassleholm, which will be supplemented by disability benefits. Tullgren's new boss has agreed to let him rock out to Slayer as loud as he wants while scrubbing dishes, so long as it doesn't disturb guests. He has even agreed to grant Tullgren time off to go to gigs. "I signed a form saying: 'Roger feels compelled to show his heavy metal style. This puts him in a difficult situation on the labor market. Therefore he needs extra financial help'. So now I can turn up at a job interview dressed in my normal clothes and just hand the interviewers this piece of paper," Tullgren said. Tullgren said he's been hooked on metal since his brother played him a Black Sabbath album when he was a toddler.

I can tell where you learned your Italian. It's cafone. We just say it like that as a New Yorkese/Brookalino bastardization of the Napolitano dialect.

#27TheDominator Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 So I should be doubly compensated! Exactly, but if you eat all the food at the restaurant where Crusher or I are you will have much larger problems than financial compensation.
