12.10.2007 BORED INDIFFERENCE SWEEPS THE NATION

Despite concert promoters claiming that the Spice Girls reunion tour is selling out wherever it stops, that certainly wasn't the case last night in Las Vegas.  The Daily Mail says:

Almost half of the seats in the Mandalay Arena auditorium were empty as the group took to the stage for their second show in Las Vegas.
It's not the first disappointment the Spice Girls have encountered since their reunion.
Their charity comeback single Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) is the worst selling Children in Need song ever after it scraped into the UK midweek charts at No.10.
The Spice Girls play their last show in Las Vegas on Tuesday night before heading to New York.

This is even more amazing because it was in Vegas.  Everything sells out in Vegas.  Celine Dion sold out almost every one of her shows during her three year stay at Caesars.  That's 600 shows.  I guess the difference is, this is exactly like the old Spice Girls tour, except worse in every way.  It's the same crappy songs, except now sung by middle aged moms, like a bunch of drunk secretaries on karaoke night.  They should have at least made it better than the original.  I'm not sure if it will help to have Victoria give me a blowjob before the show, but my gosh, we've got to try something!

    I haven't seen this much hag on stage since the Golden Girls Live! traveling show.

    In the spirit of 3rendon offering sex for success, I hereby will donate a big ol' hummer to Posh's husband.  I won't like all that hot penis action, but it's for the children.  So hey.

    I would rather go to the Matlock Dinner theater with my Grandma (again).

    Children in need of ear plugs? What?

    Looks like a Knicks game.
    You get there early enough, you might play!

    And if anyone had the same idea I did as I scanned the pic of the crowd, which was that sniping people as they emerged from the show would go a long way towards elevating the general population's intelligence quotient, then amen, my brother.  Or sister.  

    Topper, I love it when you're on top.

    Look at the thighs on Big Baby!
    Brian Ehrlacher is jealous.

    gd, haven't those people been tortured enough?

    change the sign from "Reunion Concert" to "Reunion Carwash"

    and you'd have a fucking sell-out.

    message me for my resume.

    or die.same thing.

    it would appear people would rather watch five year old reruns of 2 fags and a white tiger…go figure

    Brend0n: I doubt Vicky will blow you, she is scared of the calories. Plus it'd mean having to break her trademark trout-pout look…

    Are we sure this wasn't left over drunken Brits from Saturday's fight?
    Section 107, Yo!

    They are scheduled to perform on the Grand Rapids to Lansing Dinner train next week

    if only mp3 downloads hadn't ruined the music industry, spoiling the joy for millions of consumers who can no longer be told what to listen to by people who know better than them.

     in other news it's remarkable how much bad music i avoid by not listening to top 40 stations. so i guess what i'm trying to say is that people get the leaders, and the pop stars they deserve.

    I'm sure the people that bought those seats were just throwing up in the bathroom when the photo was taken

  16. gotdang 12/10/2007 12:52

    Tengo, you forget they're the asswipes who bought the crap in the first place so that we'd all be forced to know they exist. 

    So in answer to your question, that would be a negative.  Roger that.

    I like the girl in black, just behind the railing in the center of the row and picture, covering her hears and thinking "please dear baby jesus, make it stop"

    I bet the casinos gave these tickets away as comps to all the nickel slot people and the senior citizens smoking benson and hedges while gambling away their social security at the golden nugget.  I really hope they don't turn up their hearing aids.

    Sporty Spice looks awful…. unless her sport is now gardening

    As the Brits are quick to remind us,
