Sorry, I lost interest after about 30 seconds. Without chemical mood enhancing substances this sort of entertainment just isn’t, uh, entertaining.
Anybody for some Cheech & Chong?

Oh shoot, Gramps had a “Fergie” on his dairy farm in the 1950’s, but it was a Ford/Ferguson tractor. Come to think about it...oh never mind.

Who is this moaning crow? She sounds off key no matter what comes out of her mouth.

The slashbuster is probably the better choice, but CD posted a similar picture several years back to the pic he's linking that someone else posted.

True, but for sheer poetic justice I’d suggest a Bush Hog.

American, or Canadian culture? She is not an American.Yes. But Fergie is.
And so is the club/thug culture that Morrisette ironically embraces in this video.

American, or Canadian culture? She is not an American. And Borat is British, but he's not mocking British culture.

Heh heh.
I hope that’s their heavy duty model!

Sorry, this sort of crap is not exclusive to “American Culture”. Shit music and culture are popular around the globe. Europe is producing nothing great, but rather relying on the fruits of all those “dead white guys”. Modern Europe are trust-fund babies when it comes to culture. All great songs were written before 1980, all very good songs were written before 1990. Not to say there aren’t exceptions, but they are few and far between. Personally, I laughed my ass off. She’s kinda cute for a commie..

After seeing that, I understood why Arabs like Burqas. Undoubtedly, and Alanis is a double-burqa.

Here is a
link to Fergies original My Humps video.
I think the people who haven't seen it are unable to recognize that it's a parody despite the title

What about the video Alanis made in the Nineties that featured her standing naked (more or less) in the street?

I loved it. What a slap at Fergie. If you think Alanis can't sing (perhaps an acquired taste) you should hear the originial! I don't agree that she is off key either, but then I like Jazz and rock and blues. I think her intonation is great. Perhaps to classical person the blue notes sound bad?
To: dead
Weird.
Although, Alanis looks more hot than usual in this video.

She's a singer, and at age 12, was a star on the great 80s children's program You Can't Do That on Television.

Bush Hog meets Attention Whore... poetic indeed!
To: TonyRo76
“illiteral”
I like it.
Bush should use it in a sentence attacking “illiterals” for criticizing him for saying “nu-q-lur” since that pronunciation is in the dictionary.
Or maybe he could talk about “illiteral suiciders”.
