Fails of the Week: Pharrell’s Stache, AP’s Hands and Yung Berg’s Abomination

Schadenfreude is a psychological terms used to describe someone who takes pleasure in the failure of others (aka haters), and while I certainly didn't derive any enjoyment from some of the epic f**k ups below, they were too egregious not to be called out. In the latest of an ongoing series that will include the best...or worst...fails of the week from the world of hip-hop, sports, pop culture and beyond, I examine Pharrell's terrible mustache, Adrian Peterson's Crisco-laden hands, Yung Berg's unbelievably terrible new track and more...

Pharell's Horrible Mustache

Danielle already dug into Kanye and Amber Rose's regrettable appearance at the Paris Fashion Week, but I couldn't let write this columnd with out bringing up another hi-hop luminary who made an appearance at Fashion Week. Of course I'm talking about Pharrell, and his atrocious mustache. I'm not a fan of staches in general, but this one makes Pharrell look oddly like Splinter from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which I'm assuming was not the look he was going for. Seriously, tell me there's not at least a passing resemblance.

Adrian Peterson's Hands

Now that my beloved Pats are out I'm rolling with the Saints, but even given my new found N.O. fervor I couldn't help but wince last night when Adrian Peterson and his Crisco-hands almost single-handeldy (pun intended) cost the Vikings a trip to the Super Bowl. Peterson's the best running back int he league, except for one essential problem, he can't hang onto the f**king ball, which is kind of like if Jordan couldn't dunk.

Lisa Craft ft. Yung Berg "How We Roll"
(Editor's Note: This video was removed per request of Lisa Craft)
I apologize for making you listen to that, but there's no way I could have possibly explained how atrocious this song is unless you listened to it. I'd rather drink paint than listen to Yung Berg, but this is low even for him - you know, considering Lisa Craft's so bad she makes Heidi Montag sound like Mary J. Blige. (I was also going to go with "this is so bad it makes "Tardy to the Party" sound like "New York State of Mind" but couldn't decide. Which comparison do you think is better?)

Massachusetts

I may call Cali home now, but as a born-and-raised Bostonian I was crushed to watch my fellow Massholes elect Republican Scott Brown to the Senate this week, a move that not only subjects Mass. to his d-baggery for the next four years but ends the filibuster proof Democratic majority in the Senate. For those of you who don't follow politics closely, that means that Obama likely won't be able to pass his health care bill anymore, meaning the next time you break your leg you'd be better off setting the bone with some duck tape and a couple sticks than going into the hospital. If you want to f**k your own state up that's fine, but you jobbed us all on this one Mass. voters.
