Tyler recently brought to my attention the relative merits of Kevin Federline's new commercial. Keeping in the same genre, but kicking it old school, it's worth remembering that before there was K-Fed, there was Vanilla Ice, a man as decried and belittled as any in recent popular culture; no wonder he has this much rage inside of him (Btw, love the Dr. Evit t; also, blogger E, note Janeane Garofalo's frightened presence). Now that we are safely removed from "Ice Ice Baby," Newsweek has decided to turn the keen journalistic eye it refused to focus on Iraq onto Mr. Robert Van Winkle himself, and surprising results emerge. Who knew that Vanilla Ice could be as insightful about his legacy and about the state of white rapperdom as this? Of course, that said, any potentially breathless celebration of the formerly kitsch and currently self-important Mr. Van Winkler should take into account idolator's query: "Does he really think he invented sampling?"

2 things re: Mr. Van Winkle:
1) Why is he holding a kangaroo in the picture accompanying that third article on him?
2) "Simple as a pimple," as in "That's simple as a pimple" needs to become a household phrase.
cold4thestreets, here's your task: Make it work, since you claim to have brought back "grody to the max" as well.
