Here's a picture of Fergie and her dog. But I don't care about the dog. I want to focus on Fergie. Mostly I want to focus on that belt she's wearing with the bottles and the pack in front. And the way her hair looks. And her bloated face and butt-chin. I'm not saying these things just to be mean, by the way. I'm actually trying to make a point. About coolness. I think we can all agree that, generally speaking, Fergie is considered one of the cool people. She's treated that way by the media at least. Fergie, the hip, sexy music star. But, looking at this picture - uh, that is not my idea of a cool person. That is my idea of a dork. That is what a star becomes when they don't have someone telling them how to dress, and do their hair, and move, and act. And, I hate to say it, but I think the majority of those who are supposed to be "the cool people" are actually dorks. I think that, frankly, the image-makers of this world are taking us all for a ride. But, I have to give them credit - if they can take a dork like Fergie and make her seem cool, they must have something going for them. They must be geniuses.

Fergie Is A Dork
