New At Tunes: Not In My Mall, Sunshine |
Greetings,
##Fathead Of The Week##
The honour goes to one Chris Brown, the savagely hyped
R&B puppy whose next single is called, quite simply, 'Yo'.
Scratching around for some publicity to gusset his arse-
clencher of a song, the best our man and his people could
come up with was Chris's advice on the most effective use
of the expression 'Yo'. Read and learn:
"When you say 'yo' to a girl, whether it be at an amusement
park or the mall, it can be offensive. It's like, 'Yo, yo,
yo,' and the girl will be like, 'What?' That's disrespectful.
But I try to flip it and make it seem like that's the only
thing I could say, like, 'Yo, you took my breath away. Can
I get your name and number and talk to you for a while?'"
Why stop there? Why not follow her home, pitch a tent in her
garden and whistle your rubbish tune through a loudhailer
until the cops arrive? Twerp.
