HYPE DISBELIEVED AT HOB


No Viking helmet? This isn’t Flav! It’s an impostor! (Scott Harrison | Retna)

Flavor Flav made an appearance at the House of Blues inside Mandalay Bay Saturday night to introduce soul singer Lyfe Jennings. That’s all well and good, but we hope the crowd appreciated Flav for his greatest accomplishment to date. It’s not the 196 some-odd kids he has, not the groundbreaking work with Public Enemy, not even the trainwrecktastic romance with Brigitte Nielsen.

We hope he heard roars of approval for the groundwork he laid on Flavor of Love that prepared the world for the epic I Love Money, a show quite possibly poised to render all other television programming obsolete. If watching Speedo-stuffing Mr. Boston clock professional dominatrix Nibblz in the head with a pugil stick, knocking her off a bed suspended over the water, before she’s soundly mocked by a skinny, gangster wannabe third-rate rapper from a second-rate reality show isn’t exactly what the inventors of television had when they first put some tubes behind a screen in a box, then we don’t know why they even bothered to get up in the morning and head on down to the lab.
