The Lingering Stench of the Black Eyed Peas
Andrew Breibart's Big Hollywood ^ | February 7, 2011 | Greg Gutfeld

Posted on 02/10/2011 8:41:23 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

So the Super Bowl came and went like a fat, sweaty, overbearing relative – and it left a stench in the bathroom that can only be described as the Black Eyed Peas.

Yes – once again we are suffocated by the American assumption that what is lapped up by teenage girls is also lapped up by everyone else over fourteen.

This scares the Bieber out of me.

Because it’s true. We are what we eat. And last night we ate a pile of crap.

Don’t get me wrong. The Peas aren’t that awful. Beneath the autotune, the plastic surgery, the nursery rhyme lyrics and the costumes designed for incontinent robots, there exists a modicum of talent that seems almost Barbie-esque. Fergie’s voice is captivating, in a “maybe I should hire her for my bachelor party” sort of way....

Pat Green would be pretty sweet. He’s played at my high school’s alumni homecoming several years.

Take your pick: SuperBowl, or Barry Zero’s SOTU speech.

I don’t know about you, but I’m leaning on the SB side. And it was actually a good game. Glad to see the Lambardi trophy go back home.

I just can’t think of Jim Nabors without him standing next to Rock Hudson wearing a wedding dress.

lol. As it happened, I saw the Super Bowl ( at a party with friends). I did not see Barry's speech. I do not have television.

I saw one other football game this year--Jets vs Patriots. I guess I live a cloistered life. I was extremely turned off by the showboating that takes place in NFL football, on the most mundane and routine plays. Unsportsmanlike conduct up and down the field. I found the whole thing utterly disgraceful. How do you like that? I'm a guitar playing, banjo picking, weed smoking prig!

Nah, but I am old school. I'd like to see one of those prancing players get their ass kicked. Even in these debauched times that still wouldn't fly in baseball, and the players themselves would enforce it.

I’m in my early 50’s and have always been 5-10 years behind when it comes to buying tapes or CD’s. Usually I get the ‘best of’ some group I like and other things. Havent been able to buy anything from the 2000’s. I figured it was half age and half the music. But now I think its really the music!
Britney Spears, Aguilera, J Lo, rap, et al are pretty bad.
It hasnt been a good decade for music.
Although the brazilian girl with hips wasn’t too bad...Shakira.

Stench is right. If you have seen any of their videos they are very sad. I showed a few to my 16 year old daughter and she deleted the one song she had from BEP on her MP3 player afterward.

Neither of my two older Eagle Scouts listen to this crap.

If you're a guy, just understand that halftime is for the NFL to attract people who don't like football.

You can say that again Richard.

Here's some wired player audio from the game on YouTube...

I’ve never liked the Black-eyed Peas. Never got it.

That was the first time I had seen them. How many peas in that pod? Is it just the 3 guys and a gal who started the thing or all those others, too?

ZZ Top has played a super bowl halftime show.

I want to say it was six or seven years ago.

Some critic, didn’t get his name, said the two best moments of the BEP show were when Slash and Usher came on and I have to agree (in other words, the best moments of the show were non-BEP). He said Fergie “shrieked” her way through “Sweet Child O’ Mine” in a poor Axl Rose imitation (I thought this was funny but true). I think either Guns ‘N Roses or Usher would have been better than BEP. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Van Halen, AC/DC and Def Lepard would all be good choices.

why do so many people keep watching the superbowl year after year? I don’t think I’ve seen it in 5 years.

Possibly because they like football. Just a guess.

"Fergie’s voice is captivating, in a “maybe I should hire her for my bachelor party” sort of way..."

Perfectly describes her and her singing.

Def Leppard would be awesome as well.

First time I’ve ever seen these black eyed peas. Have to say, I’m kinda surprised that the song “I’ve got a feeling” is sung by a full grown black man. I’d always assumed it was sung by a white teen boy of indeterminate sexuality, you know a beeber without all the masculinity.
