doo doo dooooo doo doo dooooo….and this just in from field reporter extaordinaire Ms. CrankyPants….we have just confirmed that Paula Deen’s teeth are made out of Chiclets. The British are thrilled to learn about this cheap (and tasty!) alternative to actual dental care.
…And her flowing locks are made of angel hair pasta.
(I kinda feel bad for her really…I think things are being blown way out of proportion.)
I too feel bad for Paula Deen…..Unless I’m mistaken, the same retailers that dropped Paula Deen, didn’t drop Martha Stewart when she went to jail. Even though she didn’t commit murder, going to jail trumps uttering a racial slur…..just sayin…..
🙂 this made me laugh a bit
