Fergie Wishes She Could Be This Ironic

I'm not sure why "My Humps" is getting a new second of 15 minutes of fame. First, Will Ferrell does an a capella version of it in Blades of Glory. Now, Alanis "covers" it.

Explanation via Variety. I might chime in later with some thoughts on my own, but I mostly agree with Slate's assessment.

Feb 18 Edit: Having now seen the show, I feel like - probably ironically - the New York Times's review is the more accurate assessment. But, I'll add that the show probably would have been bearable 15 years ago back when Marion Berry, Suzanne Somers, electric cars, and prison rape were funny.

Feb 19 Edit: The 1/2 Hour News Hour airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on Fox News Channel.
