Spice Girls are old and still dumb
November 3, 2007Can someone please explain the Spice Girls to me? I never really understood why anyone liked them when they were all popular back in the day, but at least I could get my mind around the idea of a cutsey little pop band that sang catchy songs and made their record label millions. But this whole Spice Girls reunion thing is really blowing my mind. I had always assumed the Spice Girls were just some passing phase, part of the neverending jetsam and flotsam that is popular culture. But their reunion concerts are selling out in minutes, and they’re releasing their weird music videos that look like the cast of Desparate Housewives filming a perfume ad for Victoria’s Secret. What exactly is their demographic? And why do people still care about them?
OMG, seriously. What the hell? All they do is stand around trying to show off their bodies as if they’re trying to prove they still look good 10 years later. And what is up with Posh making exaggerated efforts to show off the rock on her left hand? It’s like, we get it … you’re married to David Beckham and are worth millions. Good for you.

My guess is that the people who are buying the tickets are the same exact people whose parents wouldn’t get them the tickets when they were in Jr. High school. Other then that, I would say creepy people who have been obsessed for the past however many years since their world was ended when the Spice Girls originally broke up.

I once wanted to arrange a Johnny Cowboy version of that Zigahzig-ha song. Can you imagine 7 drunk guys doing that song country-style? (Old Style, rather.) I think I still might push for that one.

Wow, that is a steaming pile of dogshit right there. Good God.
Victoria Beckham has flown to the top of my list of Women Who Need to Be Restrained and Force-Fed Cheeseburgers. And I mean cheeseburgers that aren’t coated in a thick layer of cocaine, which is clearly how she usually takes her food.
Fully support a Johnnie Cowboy version of the “zigahzig-ha” song. Maybe JC’s interpretation will reveal what “If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends” means. Personally I’ve never really been interested in taking on any “lovers” who have been “getting with” my friends– but then, my moral compass isn’t as finely calibrated as the Spice Girls’, is it.

I am quite glad to see that I am not the only one both baffled and horrified by the Spice Girls. You people restore my faith in humanity. Really. You also make me crave cheeseburgers. Damn! Why do you do this to me?!
