I could barely watch this. I'm far too empathetic not to be squirming out of my chair and groaning at the computer screen. I remember when Howard Stern's Channel 9 show was being broadcast on cable TV here in the Boston area. Stern was not yet on the radio here, and we had barely been exposed to Stuttering John's guerilla interviewing exploits. When I saw him for the first time (and the second, and third) I just couldn't watch. I was too embarrassed on everyone's behalf.
So you can imagine how I feel watching this video of Ashlee Simpson's lip-synching problems on Saturday Night Live. Wait until you hear her blame the band at the end.
Via Ghost of a Flea, who also includes this Duran Duran video as a salve.

Comment Info and Policy:
1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
