While I agree philosophically with the idea that all taste is subjective, I kind of feel like we need to get a Snopes verification on it. Because, sometimes I get the feeling that taste is not subjective at all. At the very least, perhaps we can all agree that there are moments in which something is either good or bad, and that the people who think otherwise are SCIENTIFICALLY wrong. The most obvious example, of course, would be the litter lout who threw the cat in the lorry, who has finally broken her legendary silence and claimed it was a joke. Cool. Cool joke. I’M BEING SARCASM! Another instance would be Prince Poppycock, a current contestant on America’s Got Talent, who is not only a finalist (A FINALIST!) but seems to be beloved by the judges and the audience alike. “Dude” is just killing it! On last night’s episode, he performed a Marie Antoinette powder-faced musical theater version of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” because it’s 2010 and everyone has succumbed to Jose Saramago’s Blindness disease, and also a severe pandemic of Danielle Staub deafism. Also, his name is PRINCE POPPYCOCK!

Nope! (Via People.)

  1. Can I just talk about the article about the cat lady that I just skimmed and immediately saw the words “wheelie bin” and lady cops in bowler hats? Brb, moving to the UK.

  2. More like Brohemian Larpsody. Am I right??

  3. Did he just call him “Poppytop”?

  4. So you think you can love me and leave me to DRIEAIEEE GARGLE-oo baby *breaks a plate*. That made my day. Scratch that.. month.

  5. The video won’t seem to work for me.

    I am okay with this.

  6. The guy from V for Vendetta really sold out

  7. America’s Got Issues.

  8. I would gladly rinse this out of my ears with Ke$ha.

  9. Right now, Viscount Fiddlefaddle is like, [spit take].

  10. America’s Got a Never-Ending Television Show Where People Pretend to Have Talent.

    Seriously, how long has this season been going on?

  11. Don’t blame me, I voted for Lord Fauntleroy.

  12. I actually watched this last night (shut up, nothing else was on) and this is pretty much the only part I enjoyed. I wouldn’t pay to see him on tour, but if he was going to preform at a small music venu in a bar or something I would totally get wasted and see this and look at all of his sparkly outfits and have a really good time.

  13. Race to the Poppycock.

  14. I don’t get it…what is his talent actually supposed to be? Breaking vases? Which he can’t even actually do?

  15. One word…REALLY?!?!

  16. Someone forgot to break it to the Prince that he is dressed as an insane FRENCHMAN, not as an insane BRITISHMAN, and thus his accent is LE WRONG.

    Pretty sure I just solved the biggest problem here.

  17. Is this Lady GaGa?

  18. What is this shortened version of the song! I understand that you don’t have time in between minivan commercials starring TV Ugly people to do the entire song, but the way they shortened it was so strange. I mean, all of the verses were practically stacked on top of each other so that it made no musical sense at all.

    Because everything else about this makes perfect sense.

    • And another thing! Where did these production values come from? Isn’t this a show that gets ordinary people to sing karaoke in front of millions and be sexted to the shameful depths of reality TV rejection? Chuck Barris is spinning in his secret agent healing chamber as we speak.

  19. How did this air on national television? This is frightening! I haven’t been this scared since the time Gabe posted the video of that guy wearing a latex lady mask while smoking :(

  20. “America’s Got Talent!” from the same network of “Minute To Win I–[gunshot]“

  21. Wow…that Danielle Staub video was INSANE.

  22. Camp, fine. A dude as an effeminate drag king? Cool. I’m picking up the Gilbert & Sullivan vibe you’re putting down, PP. It’s not my Pimm’s Cup, but I get it.

    Piers Morgan, on the other hand, Piers Morgan, you blemish on the ass of humanity, don’t you dare besmirch Freddie Mercury’s NAME by implying this was some kind of effort to outdo him. This was an homage, a paean. It has nothing to do with “out-camping” anyone else, you twit. Go get yourself tossed in a wheelie bin.

  23. America doesn’t want gays to marry, but has no problem with this? O my country, you never cease to amaze me.

  24. I’ve got 4 words for anybody who says that America does not got talent: old lesbian hand whistler

  25. …for some reason this make me really angry at lady gaga.

  26. America DELFTinitely does not got talent. Get it? I’ll show myself out.

  27. She’s pretty.

    (amirite?)

  28. I think its interesting that NBC has no problem with showing me the crappy Tide ad and obnoxious phone ad but refuses to to show me a crazy man doing… something. Is it because I’m Canadian NBC? Its totally cool to show me an idiot mom wearing her kids cloths and spilling stuff on them, and a slide show of assholes with smart phones wasting time, but somehow not cool to show me the guy in a powdered wig attempting to prove hes got talent? I live in Toronto for kibbles sake! I can drive to America in an hour and you wont show me your theoretical talent! A POX ON YOU SIR!

  29. More like Prince Poopycock. I’ll show myself out.

  30. I can’t wait to completely forget about this person!

  31. They only way I could concede that this man has any considerable amount of talent is if he designed and created every piece of that set and all the costumes and did the makeup and effects, but even then. . .

  32. It is my favorite show on tv. I cannot afford to miss it.
    Very Early Signs of Pregnancy

  33. I honestly cannot comprehend what is happening in this video or what it says about America, but I can say that Prince Poppycock has perfected the art of being a drag queen without actually being in drag. Now that’s talent!

  34. Also, after watching this performance, I cannot possibly imagine what Prince Poppycock would need $1,000,000 for.
