> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Neurotik \* > Think Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Just shameless media whores everyone is tired of. Thatā€™s not a fair comparison. While I hold J-Lo and Ben is pretty high disdain, I do still find them moderately talented. Iā€™ll give Becks his due for his footie talent, but Posh Spice, for crying out loud? ---

Well, we could have compared them to Puff Daddy and J-Lo, but they have since broken up. ---

It was all a lie when she asked us to tell her what we want, what we really, really, want. ---

When ā€œsheā€ asked us to, dantheman? You really think she sang on that record? _snort_ ---

Yeah, I believe she did. Lip-synchers would have sounded better. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lizard \* > Well, there is the ā€œ5 exceptions list,ā€ ainā€™t there? šŸ˜› I suppose Posh and Liz could be on the list, but she seems out of sync with your other loves; I seem to remember Queen Latifah and Camryn Manheim. Posh and Liz seem painfully inadequate in comparison with them. BBC Two announced at least 6 times today (just while I was listening) that Becks received OBE status from the Queen today. While itā€™s certainly an honour, it means he canā€™t work his way up to being ā€œLord Beckhamā€, which is good 'cause Iā€™d have to hurt somebody if Posh had the opportunity to become Lady Posh. ---

**Everton** , my understanding of the OBE/CBE status (which is admittedly sparse) is that a CBE can do other things to earn his/her way up to Lordship, but that an OBE is pretty much the end of the OBE line, with no opportunity for upward mobility, as it were. The Beeb was discussing just this the other day, so Iā€™ll have to defer to them as my source. Feel free to correct me if Iā€™m wrong. ---

Well I never. I knew it couldnā€™t be because of his hair, silly voice or exotic taste in underwear. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/posh-beckham-threat/181114.md?page=3)
