What the fuck is the Pussy Cat Dolls and why should I give a rats ass?
And why do I flip through channels and get hung up on watching that crap when I will totally forget about within 15 minutes and not watch who wins whatever the fuck they win. What do they win, anyway?

1. That show is hilarious
It's a blessing to get booted off that show. Getting into the group would basically make them into glorified back up dancers. The lead singer is the only one who does anything notable in any of the crappy songs.

2. But who do they back up? And who are those judges?
And why are they all crying?

4. They are all pretty bad performers if you ask me.
One of the judges used the term 'white trash" to describe someone. That's special.

43. You know you're in trouble when you're too skanky for the Pussycat Dolls
Incidentally, she also was in the MTV series "Making the Band" - the one where P. Diddy was looking to create a girl group. I suppose either "American Idol" or "America's Got Talent" is next.

33. Well that's better than Top Design's "See you later Decorator"
I pretty much gave up caring about who won after that

5. I despise that show
despite never having watched it. It looks like it will help contribute to the cancellation of one of the best shows on tv, Veronica Mars. And for what? So they can be glorified strippers?

26. Yeah
I don't know what kind of show you like but it really has a little bit for everyone. And it melds everything together incredibly well.

Here are two trailers people put together on youtube. The first one shows some of the lighter side and the other the darker elements.

19. I hope they bring Veronica back.
But I keep hearing weird rumors about the show - like making her an FBI agent, and things like that. :(

28. I don't care if she goes FBI as long as Keith Mars stays
I love the rapport that Kristen Bell and Enrico Colantoni have. It's the coolest father-daughter relationship on TV.

6. According to one of the guys on "Best Week Ever" they are a
"made up band of strippers"

:rofl:

I have NOT seen the show, but am TOTALLY surprised at the
number of repuglican women I know who are WATCHING IT WITH
THEIR YOUNG CHILDREN!!!

It must be good!

(I admit to being a closet FlavaFlav watcher)

42. why be surprised?
any more I am surprised when they actually do what they preach. I guess maybe they see it as career training?

This thread needs more pictures before I can decide though.

11. Right?
You'd expect them to be superhot for all their crapiness but they don't even have that. I don't understand how they went from being a cabaret act to being pop stars. It makes me sad :cry:

29. Eye candy? They're on against Veronica Mars.
Kristen Bell is the SweeTarts of eye candy.



The Pussycat Dolls are more like stale circus peanuts.

38. I wrote about them a few weeks ago on my blog
I did a long rant about the recording industry and their little royalty grab aimed at webcasters. Among their many crimes are foisting the Pussycat Dolls upon an unsuspecting public. And marketing a Las Vegas striptease act at children. Here's that excerpt:

...But that would be too complicated for the industry. Much easier to promote and market what they know - crass, predictable crap. Like the Pussycat Dolls, a Las Vegas burlesque troupe who are in a rather unique situation - they are record company employees! Yes, you read that right. Rather than being 'works for hire' or indentured servants like every other act out there, they were hired and are employed by Interscope, meaning that the image, songs, musicians, videos, promotion, etc. are provided by the label, and all the girls have to do is show up in the studio, on the video set, on stage and to the reality show (yes, the reality show). Well, two out of three ain't bad. Supposedly, it's only one girl singing lead and backup on all the songs on their record (though two more out of the remaining five are given credit for backup vocals). Have we learned nothing from the whole Milli Vanilli fiasco? They also market this group heavily toward young girls, going so far to team with Hasbro to produce a toy line. Hmm... Las Vegas burlesque marketed to 11-year olds? But that's another rant for another time.


http://ltradio.blogspot.com/2007/03/attack-of-music-mafia.html

Oh, by the way, you read that right. There is a line of Pussycat Dolls available:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/17/business/media/17music.html?ex=1302926400&en=5f513ddb37681430&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss



Yes, it's beyond tasteless.
