wtf #6: ice ice baby!

Ok, so The Early Show has this thing where they're going "back in time," and today featured a journey back to 1990.  And of course, nothing says 1990 like...Rob Van Winkle, baby!  That's right, Vanilla Ice hizzownself!  I don't know that there's anything better than the following performance...although I do wonder why they didn't bring MC Hammer (excuse me...Hammer) in for a little rap battle.  But check it out:





Seriously, how many ridiculous things are happening here?  So there's Vanilla Ice, and that's
just pretty silly.  But then there's the set; some sort of grim reaper arch for the Iceman and his
crew to dance through?  Check.  Vanilla Ice logo that appears to be based on this logo?  Check.
Guy in some sort of capri-pantsed Santa suit with no shoes and a halloween mask?  Got it.  DJ
with ICP makeup on?  Yup.  Dancing black guy?  You know it.  A couple of weird little dolls on
the dj's table?  Der.  


It's like ol' Rob is trying to make sure everyone knows that even though he's willing to hop in
the time machine for a little jaunt back to his heyday, he's not this guy anymore, or even this guy.
He's a hardcore badass who you do not--I repeat, do NOT--want to fuck with.  I mean, look
what happened to Santa when he started hanging out with Mr. Van Winkle!
