Scouting for Girls
The four-chord stop start band who released the same song four times.

I do a parody of them during my stand-up. The song made the Scouting for Girls Newsletter a while back, leading to a lot of 10-year old girls yelling at me. "They're better than you! They've made records!" as if I'm only allowed an opinion of them when I've got a record deal myself.

I'm sorry, but I also don't know how to bake cakes. But I know when one tastes like shit.

damn straight!
I do wonder with some bands/people whether they've given someone high up in the business a cracking blowie right at the start of their career as there is no other explaination why they persist in producing such banal, repetitive shite -scouting for girls being a case in point. Shia Labeouf is another ('I know I'll play Shia Labeouf in Transformers, and again in Indiana Jones. and in every other shitty film I ever do').

ha ha
Me and the missus were watching, I think, Wall Street 2 the other day in bed. She said, "Oh, it's got that Shia bloke in it. He's really good."
Nearly shat myself laughing. I haven't seen acting that wooden and repetitive since that bug eyed woman in The Witches of Eastwick.

Too
true. I remember the 10 year olds all clambering away all over the web last year when the Rage Against the Machine Number 1 campaign thing was on the go.

"He's won the ex-factor, he's better than you."

So he won a fucking talent contest.

I won a fancy dress compo when I was 8 years old. Doesn't mean I'm a fashion designer.
