With the recent discovery that R&B singer Montell Jordan is now just singing headlines from MSNBC to people via text, The Overserved columnist Deb Doing Dallas and I had a very serious conversation about what this all means, and I have a moment of panic that my phone had been hacked by MSNBC.
Audra: Um https://www.facebook.com/msnNOW/app_325314930888260 What happened, Montell Jordan???? Deb: WHAT IS THAT? Audra: It’s Montell Jordan…singing headlines? Deb: Just like headlines from MSNBC? Audra: Yes. Deb: That is blowing my mind. Audra: That is how he is currently doing it. I’m just trying to figure out why he’s doing it Audra: Oh, nevermind.

Audra: This is an actual line from that piece: “All the gang bangers forgetting about the drive-by isn’t nearly as bad as Montell Jordan forgetting to pay his taxes … to the tune of $627,987.06” Deb: hahahahaha what we want the gang bangers to always forget about the drive by

Audra: OK THANK GOD Audra: Oh man, yeah, I don’t know how to approach this breaking news Deb: Yeah, this is a tough one. On one hand, I can’t decide if I feel bad for Montell Jordan. On the other hand, this will be fun to prank people with. Audra: Yes, let’s lady prank people with these. Montell could make even the worst news sound smooth as fuck, right? Well, hopefully MSNBC would find some headlines to be in poor taste. Deb: Too soon. I mean, it does make an automatic joke of all headlines. Every headline would be too soon Audra: I’d be happy with a “Supplier Pleads Guilty in Fake Cialis Case” Deb: Painful flip flops … is it a problem? Is it? http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/18/health/flip-flops-hurting-feet/index.html?hpt=he_t4 Audra: Great, now “This Is How We Do It” is stuck in my head again. Deb: Well it is Friday night and I feel alright. Audra: I think we just found a way to wrap this chat up! Deb: This is how we do it.
