Not too quick to grasp satire, are ya bub?
Well, at least not outside southern California, which is where all of the celebrities live!
But it’s also possible they might want to come here because they do get less attention. Didn’t they say they liked not being recognized in L.A.?
There was an article in the Sunday NYT a few weeks ago about the pair. From the article, it seems that they are on an actual campaign to raise their visibility in the US to a par with how it is in the rest of the world (or Europe, at least?). Sort of a this is their only celebrity world left to conquer.
Don’t be too hard on him, everyone knows British folk are slow to grasp statements with even the barest hint of irony or satire.
I didn’t even know they were in the US until I spied them at the MTV Movie Awards. (I didn’t see their presentation, I actually recognized them from a crowd scan before I fell asleep.)
Though, I’m wondering if I should buy some Posh Spice on HSX now given her big comeback and all. 
How DARE you insinuate that we’re slow to gr-
Oh.
Shuffles off, grinning awkwardly
Now now, Lizard, Neurotik, and Yookeroo, let’s keep the vitriol flowing where it belongs…toward Posh and Becks. Bickering at each other robs the dynamic duo of their deserved dose of hate.
Like my alliteration?
I think it’s laughable that Posh and Becks would say they love the anonymity they have in the States and simultaneously appear on the MTV Awards show. They are press-hounds. That’s how they got their fame, and stating otherwise is preposterous. They are on every front cover of pretty much every magazine over here in the UK. Their desire for the spotlight knows no bounds.
If Bones and her Babbling Boy get famous in the States, next it will be Robbie Williams, and we know we can’t let that happen.
Bring us Eddie Izzard! Bring us Graham Norton! Bring us proper scones, for God’s sake, just don’t bring us Posh and Becks!
Funny, I just got back from two weeks in London and was astonished at the level of interest in this pair (also the amount of interest in Big Brother, but that is for another thread) . I was also amused because I knew there would be incredible ambivalence back in the US about them. I was even hearing a debate on the radio about who will be more remembered in British History, Posh and Becks or the Royals.
See Posh purse her lips…she is waiting for a kiss, methinks…she purses, she puckers…perhaps she loves air and kisses the air all day…still she waits, all puckered and pursed and ready…GOOD GOD HER FACE IS FROZEN.
Or maybe she has no teeth.
Or maybe it’s botulin toxin.
America, can you take Liz Hurley too while you’re at it?
Now how come you guys over on that side of the pond don’t just call him Bex? “Becks” is so, so gauche.
Ah, this article seems to confirm most Americans’ impressions of the couple:
Becks and Posh Fail to Impress in America
This may be the first time i’ve ever agreed with the NY Post on anything.
Posh comeback?
How can we miss her when she won’t go away?
Hell yes! She can stay with me!
And use my face for a bidet. 
I ain’t British.
And satire is easy to miss (assuming it was even there in the first place) when you grow up hearing endless cheap shots taken at the sport you love.
PLEASE take him away.
I’ll even throw in a few quid to go towards the flight costs.
Being an ignorant American, why so much vile directed towards Posh Spice and Beckham? Not that I have any feelings for them one way or the other, but what’d they do that’s so bad?
Which of course makes it okay to go off on a snit.
I saw them on a chat show once. They weren’t as annoying as I expected. Give them a chance.
PS. “That bent guy” and the whole satire thing, lol
Think Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Just shameless media whores everyone is tired of.
