Dammit, why the hell are the Pussy Cat Dolls famous?
They aren't that attractive.

They have no singing talent.

They don't play any instruments.

Their songs suck hot wet shit on every level.

Am I missing something?

1. One word:
Sex.

They shake their everythings into the camera, horny boys forget they have no talent.

3. Are we really that hard up?
I mean there's 1000X more scattered ass all over late night TV what their offering. Why get worked up over something so lame?

5. You really want to know? Here's why:
Edited on Sun Jun-04-06 07:41 PM by jane_pippin
(or at least my best guess)

Marketing.
You know that show, Blow Out on Bravo? (If not, that's ok. It's a reality show about this hair dresser, Jonathan Antin who has to be about as dumb as a sack of cats--sorry, no offense cats, but the guy's a goddamn idiot. He does seem to know his stuff hair-wise, and he does seem to genuinely appreciate his success, love his family, etc. so that's all good. But I can't deal with him because he pronounces "hair" as "har" and says things like "Har is my life, man. I mean, I love the smell of product in the morning! Har is just like--my life." I shouldn't watch it but the stupidity is just mesmerizing. It's like hypnosis or something. AND, fun fact, he had a brief appearance on Da Ali G show a few seasons ago in one of Bruno's segments where he threatened to "kick some ass" in the name of the good ol' US of A, if needed.)

Aaaaanyway, there's that show and the person who invented The Pussycat Dolls is that idiot's sister. From what I can tell, it just started as a Vegas burlesque show but seems to be gaining attention now thanks to repeatedly being featured on that Blow Out show. Jonathan does a Pussycat's "har" so that's in an episode. Johnathan's sister needs him to help out with auditions for the group, so he goes and that's an episode. The Pussycat Dolls have a single so of course Johnathan downloads it to his Sprint phone--why do I know this? He points it out for us! Sprint is Cool!--and tells us how kickass the song is. He must say "the Pussycat Dolls" about 8 billion times per episode and it's enough to make you want to jam red hot pokers in your ears. And so on, and so on, and so on and the next thing you know they're in a freakin Heineken commercial and you're yelling at the TV "Shut the fuck up! My boyfriend doesn't want your skanky, VD addled ass!!" even though you're all alone in your house and you know better. You really do.

Phew.

In conclusion, if I may, "Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!"

7. A Blue Velvet reference into a Pussycat Dolls thread? That's talent.
I didn't think such a tangent was possible. You got some skills.

12. Well sure! Everybody knows that.
Ladies in bands are eye candy, and guys are where the talent is. :eyes:

Though, I think refering to the Pussycat Dolls as a "band" is an insult to bands.

14. Is there any way we can get all these douchebags into a room with Frank?
Though since Frank is dead it'd be a zombie frank, which would be even better.

6. I like PCD.
Alot.

I like all their songs and some of the girls are hot.
I like them because they make good party beats. That's what I am about.

PARTY
DANCE

9. They have boobs?
I don't know. I've only heard "Stickwichou" (sp) and it wasn't horrendously bad. I think because people have varied musical tastes. I, personally, am not a huge Dylan fan...and yet I exist. :)

17. Well...
They're certainly not the most talented "band" out there, but they are pretty easy on the eyes and the sassy factor works for me...I'm guilty, but I will not buy their stuff...
