I know he's generic, and short. And Dee thinks he looks like a Chippendale.
And, okay, he does. She's right on all counts. Also, he can't really
sing. He kind of sighs breathily and hopes no one notices the difference.
But there's just something about a really hot guy that makes you forget all those things. For some reason I even find myself forgiving his waxed chest.
And the fact that he's 5" 8'. Yeah. Sure you are, Jeffrey. Here's how I see it: if a guy's famous and in a position to make money off of infatuated women, it's a good thing for him to be tall. I mean, it's always a good thing for a man to be tall, but most men don't stake a career on it.
So since it's important for men like Jeff to be tall, and he's claiming he's
5" 8', which is SHORT, he's probably about 5" 3'. Because if he were really
five-eight, he'd be telling us he's six-two. You know I'm right.
Which begs all kinds of questions. Is Justin actually tall? Maybe he's about five-ten and the other guys are all midgets. I bet JC isn't five-ten. He's probably five-eight. I'm sure we could figure this out by showing a picture of him to some math genius, but I'm not that interested. My point is that boyband members are always short. They are. Don't deny it. You know I'm right.
Okay, believe me now? They're all short. And why is that?
I don't know. Maybe it's like if you're short you feel you have to make up for something. You try harder. Maybe your record company gives you lots of coffee and cigarettes to stunt your growth because then you'll be cheaper to feed. And they can save money on costumes. I don't know.
Back to Justin. Justin was just entering puberty when he entered upon his life of glitz and glamor. Do you think that if they had known then that Justin was going to be tall they'd have let him in? Because now he shows them up as the undersized midgets they really are.
Does it really matter why all boyband members are so short? No.
Because luckily you will never
find yourself standing next to one, wishing you
weren't wearing platforms. And because Jeff is still hot. Even
with the waxed chest. Even with the cheesy tat on his arm.
I think that
this is the closest I'll ever come to the way men look at women. I don't
think about him. Ever. But when 98 Degrees comes Una Noche-ing their way
past on MTV, I get this lame rapt expression and everyone needs to shut
up until it's over.
Jeff, by the way, I'm sorry I'm objectifying you. I really am. But... I can't help it. And if you ever have the time to clue us in on the deal with short singers, please. Thanks.
And, uh, stop waxing.
