Once Again: New Kids On The Block Will Never Be Ironic

I was just walking down the street, pre-coffee, when I saw a group of college kids walking towards me. Goodness knows why they were up this early. More distubring, though, was the 19-year-old guy who was wearing a New Kids on the Block T-shirt, circa 1989.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again: NKOTB will never be ironic. Boy band resurgences never work. Do we not remember The Monkees comeback tour from 1986? Case closed.

Also, when life imitates telenovellas: a telemundo anchor is being placed on leave because she's been dating the Los Angles mayor, who is leaving his wife for her. Best part? She reported it on her newscast, failing to mention that she's the homewrecker. See, cheetahs never prosper.
