Dublin firm creates plug-in to 'rid internet' of Garth Brooks

Sick of the Garth Brooks concert "debasco" dominating everything you read online? Want to block all things Garth Brooks related from your newsfeed?

Dublin-based digital media firm EightyTwenty has created a solution called “Garth Blocks” in an attempt to give the public some respite.

The company says the Chrome plug-in rids the internet of all references to the American country singer.

Brooks had sold 400,000 tickets for five concerts at Croke Park, which have now been cancelled after Dublin City Council did not grant licences for two of the gigs.

The five concerts were due to be held at the end of this month, and last ditch attempts to save them appear to have failed.
