The Spice Girls Tour: CANCELED! Mothers Everywhere Rejoice

Posted by Karen

 

Yeah, I called this days ago, but The Spice Girls website is trying to dole out different reasons:

01 February 2008


IMPORTANT TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT

Sadly the tour needs to come to an end by the end of February due to family and personal commitments for Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria. It was announced in June that, as well as the Europe and the US, the girls planned to visit Australia, China, South Africa and Argentina. Due to the phenomenal demand for tickets in the UK and the US along with the touring logistics for such a massive production it was not possible to fit everything in. As the girls return to normal family life and the kids go back to school they are reviewing all the options, who knows what the future might bring!

The girls said: “We’ve had such an amazing time over the last 3 months. It’s been incredible being back together and seeing our fans again. We want to thank everyone who came to see us. It was all so mad the first time round, so we’ve really been able to appreciate it properly this time. There have been so many highlights and good times that we know it will be hard to be apart after Toronto. Really sorry if we didn’t get to see you this time round. We all have other commitments in our lives now but who knows what will happen next.”

 

Whatever.  I'm glad to see them go home.  All this hype for overpaid, undertalented women to act like heathens in front of America's, Canada's and Britain's daughters?   They're like the Mom-version of Bratz dolls.  And by Bratz dolls, I mean whorish puppets made of plastic.

Some Spice Girls jokes for you:

Q. What is the best thing about getting a blow job from a Spice Girl?
A. 10 minutes of silence.

Q. What do you do if a Spice Girl hurls a grenade at you?
A. Take out the pin and throw it back.

Q. What did the Spice Girls mum say to her daughter's date?
A. If you're not in bed by eleven then go home.

Q. What do you call a Spice Girl behind a steering wheel?
A. An air bag.

Q. What's the difference between an intelligent Spice Girl and a UFO?
A. Dunno, never seen either.

Q. What's the difference between a Spice Girl and a 747?
A. Not everyone has been inside a 747.

Q. Why do Spice Girls smile when lightning strikes?
A. They think they're getting their photo taken.

Q. A blonde and a Spice Girl jump off the Empire State building, who
lands first?
A. The blond, the Spice Girl had to stop to ask directions.

Q. How many Spice Girls does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A. None, they only screw in cars.

Q. What does a turtle and a Spice Girl have in common?
A. Put them on their back and they're both f*cked.

Q. Why don't Spice Girls eat bananas?
A. They can't find the zip.

Q. Did you hear that the Spice Girls are going to employ Louise
Woodward as their new manager?
A. Apparently she's going to drop Baby Spice.

Q. What do Posh Spice and Dennis Bergkamp have in common?
A. They're both f*cking good football players.

 

EDIT: Commenter Christine wants to know my reason behind calling the Spice Girls whorish.

Reason #1

Reason #2

Reason #3

It's isn't at all the way they dress.  It's the way they conduct themselves in front of children.  Grabbing tits and faking blow jobs on stage is not something I would want my child to see, nevermind the being drunk on stage, falling down and laughing about it.  Some of these women are mothers themselves and ought to understand that their whorish behaviour and stupidity is ignorant when they know full well who their target market includes.  They are money grubbing, media whores.  Period.

These jokes are quite sexist.... seems like something you'd hear 20 years ago.  What they dress a certain way and they're whores?  Give me a break.  Dumber than a blonde?  Cliched, boring and outdated.  Get rid of em.

OMG you even put the tag of WHORES on this!!!  And Tits and Slutty and Heathens.  Who wrote this post?  It's completely out of left field.

WOW.  Whores!!  I mean you have to laugh.  Who calls anyone a whore anymore?  Grandma?  Is that you writing this blog?  Grandma... put down the keyboard, I'm on my way....

Kudos!  Why do grown women, even the mentally incapcitated ones, think the only way to appear attractive is to bheave like a porn star or pole dancer?  Talk about sexist and putting the womens' movement back 50 years.  I am tired of fake lesbians trying to turn on guys, simulated sex moves called "dance" and everyone having herpes and getting crap for having a c-section because of it.

Listen, I have pretty low standards, I mean I am reading celebrity p0rn like the rest of you, but until there is a word for men that act extremely sexual that carries half the weight as "whore", I'm unlikely to LOL at a joke like:

"Q. What does a turtle and a Spice Girl have in common?

A. Put them on their back and they're both f*cked."

Before we get on the women-hating bandwagon, I'd just like to point out that even within the context of this site "Babble: the magazine and community for a new generation of parents" The Spice girls have over 20 tags on this blog.  Whore just 1.  I'm just hoping that it stays that way.

I still maintain that the Spice Girls have acted completely inappropriately and while you deem my post as sexist, I think Cassie has a real point when she says they are the ones putting sexism back 50 years.

They are not whores in the traditional sense of the word - but I'll be dammed if I won't call them for what they are: media whores, money whores, & attention whores.
