I'm with Ben on this one. I don't get it. Are you telling me that I'm not cool if I'm a fan of Franz Ferdinand?

Sorry for the confusion. No one's getting made fun of here ... Franz Ferdinand are totally awesome.

The joke:

The band takes their name from Franz Ferdinand who was archduke of Austria from 1896 to 1914. He was assassinated in 1914 in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, member of a Bosnian nationalist group. This event is seen by many as the beginning of World War I.
