Speechless

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

When a video leaves me speechless, I guess the only thing I can do is post it and let it…uh…scream for itself.

I guess I could mourn the absence of witty commentary in this post with deeply-rooted primal screams.  Or at least Motley Crue’s totally awesome rock anthem Primal Scream.

Seriously? Seriously??? Okay, I’m loading my gun.

The only question is whether I need five bullets for them, or just one for myself.

Here are my thoughts, in no particular order:

  • I don’t know if I’m more disturbed that such a comeback as this was ever conceived, much less carried out, or that it was actually voted by the viewers to the number one spot on VH1’s top 20 video countdown this weekend (which my wife was watching, not me. I discovered this entirely by accident, I swear, and it was not a pleasant discovery.)
  • I love the “Roll Credits” intro, designed to make them look all rich and buff and hot and popular. I also enjoyed how the whole video had hot women hanging all over them. I said to myself, “Self, that is just like real life!”
  • The song is really, really lame.
  • Donny Wahlberg is really, really lame. I can’t stop seeing him as the creepy kid in his tightie-whities from The Sixth Sense.
  • *Barf!* Oh…excuse me…I just…*BARF! BAAAAAAAAARRRRRRFFFFFFFF!!!!!*
  • What the heck demographic are they supposed to be appealing to? Thirty-somethings who loved them when they were an actual boy band, as opposed to their current state of man-band, or has-been-band?
  • Let me reiterate: *BARF BARF BARF!*
