Oh Bobby Lee, please stop now. No rhyme there, but that’s what I feel.
Am I the only one who felt that ad reinforced Asian stereotypes while mocking Stefani’s Asiaphilia? It almost seemed to list out the perceived “flaws” of Asian folk as their basis for mocking her fetish.
…but then again, I’m drunk. so maybe that isn’t it.
yay! my appreciation for MadTV and Bobby Lee hve gone up a little bit.
i was also way into No Doubt. I even bought the first Gwen solo album although it made me feel weird. I like Gwen’s geeky use of show tunes but I don’t think I can listen to her anymore.
I kinda feel like old Gwen had a little obsession with Jamaican/Rastafarian culture. She still does; it’s all over L.A.M.B. I’d much prefer for her to just fade away.

I also do wish Gwen Stefani would go back to being the old Gwen so that I could despise her only for her music.
