So how about that Master P? (Unnnnnggghhhh!)
He doesn’t have a crush’n’s chance at Amy’s of winning the contest,
But he does narrowly edge out crazy Tatum O’ Neal for the coveted “Only I may make myself look like an idiot on national television” award for refusing the generous offer of dancing shoes in favor of his ugly basketball high-tops.
As for his dancing on last night’s show, he did move his feet and there was music playing, but it was more “Clomping with the Bison” than “Dancing with the Stars.” You could call it dancing, but then people would be able to call you a liar.
Oh, and hey Master P (Unnnnngghhhh!) — if you’re going to dedicate your dancing to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, could you please just wear the damn dancing shoes already? Because, seriously, P, those people just don’t deserve to deal with another televised tragedy.
