A smart-ass created a NSFW redirect for a Trump inauguration performer

For the few brave souls willing to stake their dignity and reputation on playing for Trump, the backlash has been fierce. Jennifer Holliday changed her mind about singing at the main event after an online roasting, and even mighty Springsteen cover act The B Street Band pulled the plug after fans reacted badly.

Lord of the Dance Michael Flatley, meanwhile, is reportedly performing at a ball hours after Trump is sworn in, apparently "setting the scene for his dance troupe." And the internet has taken the ultimate vengeance.

Now, as the Guardian reports, if you head to colossalbellend.com, you're taken to Flatley's site. That's colossal bellend dot com.

"Bellend," for the uninitiated, is a British insult which means penis. Flatley, for the uninitiated, helped give rise to the Irish dance show Riverdance in the '90s, which became a worldwide hit and spawned several spinoffs before gradually dying out. He's also a flute player.

Although Flatley has yet to officially confirm his performance, he's slated to play the Liberty Ball on Friday night.

Flatley could take troll-handling cues from R&B trooper Chrisette Michelle. This week, the singer insisted she was performing to "be a voice for the voiceless" despite endless Twitter pundits claiming her slot was an attempt to cash in and revive a flagging career.
