This is a Trivia Posted on the Femmes Official Website in the Late 90's for roughly about a year? It was an old 90's Styled web form with radial buttons that you would select and hit next, on the End it would tell you if you were 100% correct or not, never revealing the true answers. 

 Dear Violent Femmes Fans,


Welcome to the Violent Femmes Trivia Contest!!!!!

Following are multiple choice questions about Violent Femmes. The first ten respondents with ALL THE CORRECT ANSWERS will receive autographed Femmes photos. The FIRST with the right answers will also receive a T-shirt and CD. Those with wrong answers will be placed in a huge vat of boiling Wisconsin cheese for exactly one hour. Most, but not all, of the answers can be found by scrutinizing the homepage and by listening to our CD's and reading the liner notes. This quiz is so hard that probably not all the bandmembers could get it right, so good luck! Of course friends, family and employees of Violent Femmes are not eligible.
** Two Thousand entries have been received and non of you !#$%*!! has gotten them all correct, hence you will all be dipped in a vat of boiling 'CHEESE' (your choice of local extra sharp Cheddar or imported Stilton)**
