EVENING NIGHTCAP: The "Z" In Gen Z = LaZy. No One Wants Black Eyed Peas. Snoop Dogg & Nelly Get Dragged.

 

 

 ► How many Gen Zers does it take to change a light bulb? If you guessed a crew from NASA and a truckload of electricians, then you're partially correct.  A study conducted by Halfords is shedding light on the haplessness of Gen Z (18-27 yr old).  The study found that 1 in 5 Gen Zers cannot do the most basic things, including changing a light bulb on a ceiling fixture. Congrats Gen Z, you surpassed Millennials as the most coddled generation.

 In case you're wondering why they don't change light bulbs, it's because a majority of them are afraid the bulb is too hot. *insert eyeroll*.  As if that isn't bad enough, about 10% of Gen Zers admitted they call a professional to hang pictures. Wait a sec...they actually pay someone to come to their home to hang a lousy picture? Haven't they heard of 3M Command Hang Strips? Are they THAT lazy they can't peel the back of a hanger and slap it on a wall?  On average, Gen Z forks out $1,500 / year for someone else to do basic household chores. This compares to $450 for Gen X and $300 for Boomers. Other things Gen Z is clueless about:  Read More

• 30% were unable to identify a flat head screwdriver
  
• 21% could not identify a wrench 
• 27% admitted they have no idea how to clean the interior of a car
  
• A little less than 50% have no clue how to check air on car tires, how to refill windshield wiper fluid or change a wiper blade (which takes about 15 seconds) 

Comment: Gen Z must take a lot of pride in the moniker "GOTDIT" or get others to do it. Their parents clearly failed them if  they can't do the most basic household chores, such as changing a light bulb or hanging a picture. They're too busy documenting their lives on IG and living in own filtered versions of the Truman Show.

► So much for their comeback. The Black Eyed Peas announced today they're cancelling their Las Vegas residency due to poor ticket sales. Actually, they said, "due to current circumstances" but we  know the truth. The group was scheduled to begin their residency on February 15 at Planet Hollywood Vegas. The few suckers fans who bought tickets will be given a full refund. Womp-womp.  Read More 

Comment: The group released their last album in 2022. They haven't been relevant since 2009.  Fergie was not part of the group's Las Vegas residency, so I wonder if that had something to do with poor ticket sales. Who doesn't want to see Fergie peer herself on stage?

► Snoop Dogd and Nelly are getting an earful for performing at inauguration events of the Felon in Chief. Snoop Dogg performed at the Crypto Ball, which was to celebrate the new bitcoin or some shit like launched by the Felon in Chief.  Back in the old days, Snoop was a very vocal in his criticisms of the Felon in Chief. But last year, Snopp decided to roll up a blunt using a copy of the US Constitution and embrace MAGA.  Social media didn't hold back on how they felt about Snoop Dogg selling out:  Read More 

"This is culturally embarrassing and disrespectful asf,” one reaction read. 

“Not a check in the world worth selling my soul to the Devil…” another commenter remarked.   

“We not gonna let you forget this, @SnoopDogg,” one former fan promised. “Stay in MAGA world. Don't wanna hear s*** from you ever again.” 

Comment: We all know the MAGA crowd and Felon in Chief wouldn't give Snoop or Nelly the time of day if they stood on a street corner with a bible and a bottle of 100-proof Everclear as holy water. Goes to show that anyone can be bought for the right price. So much for Snoop's past reputation of wanting to "stick it to the man", bitching about the Felon in Chief (he even made a music video about it) and blabbing about how unfair life is for POC.
