Slope Day = Snore Day
Posted by ewherron on March 26, 2009
The Sun reported today that this year’s headline act at Slope Day will be The Pussycat Dolls, the sex-filled pop singing group famous for pieces of musical genius such as “Buttons” and “When I Grow Up”.
The report has so far been unconfirmed by the President of the Slope Day Programming Board Mandy Hjellming ’09, who has said that the official announcement will come at todays Student Assembly meeting at 4:45.
Every year a large portion of the Cornell Undergraduate community complains about the main act on Slope Day but in my opinion The Pussycat Dolls represents a new low for the Slope Day Commission. The main acts over the past five years (Gym Class Heroes, T.I., Ben Folds Five, Snoop Dogg, and O.A.R.) are all big name musicians and favorites of some people in various circles. I severely doubt that ANYONE considers The Pussycat Dolls to be their favorite musicians. They are merely older, more provactively dressed versions of Hannah Montana that are quasi-talented singers whose voices are manipulated through mixing and editing to sound decent enough to listen to.
So if you want to see some good dancers lip synch on stage be my guest. Me? I’ll be celebrating the pomp and circumstance that is Slope Day at my house listening to the music I want to hear.

I’m probably going to be with you as far as staying home goes. But hopefully there will be a live video feed so I can at least watch Nicole Sherzinzceurggser [sic]. Seriously though, this definitely seems like a downgrade. Maybe we’ll get lucky and Eric Clapton will open for them or something…

I LOVE THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS and I will definitely be going! Don’t make such general assumptions just because YOU don’t like them. They are fun and I love dancing to them so they are a perfect group to headline Slope Day in my opinion. =)

Kanye wasn’t the headliner that year. O.A.R. was, bra.
