    Wait… I thought these fucks all broke up with each other like 10 years ago when it wasn’t cool to be in a gay band anymore?

    Strange. I thought they changed their name to the ‘Backdoor Boys’ about six years back.

    I would have thought that they would have matured a little more by now, watched their videos, and committed hari-kari(sp?).

    I would have thought that at least ONE of them would be a Backstreet Man by now. This story soars to new levels of crapdom. I cannot find anything even remotely funny in this. Aren’t we all BSB joked out?

    So, what exactly, are these “other interests” Kevin aims to pursue?

    Lord knows he will never, ever have a solo career. People would confuse him far too much with Peter Gallagher.

    I love how the Superficial guy says to play with a bear if you knew they were still together.

    Yet… he’s the one trolling the Backstreet Boys website for information.

    Uh oh uh oh oh, wait that was New Kids on the Block.

    Shit, excuse me, I need to go buy some steaks and a plane ticket to Alaska.

    The BSB’s did have massive amounts of 13 year-old hispanic kid trying to grow a moustache going on. Except never enough to cover an upper lip. Cruisin’? Molestache?

    what #1 said. I never realised they were still together. Maybe it’s a publicity thing -

    manager – “Kev, there’s been nothing in the press about the BSS for years. Declare that you’re leaving, and we’ll pay you $1000″

    …or something

    The real reason he left the band, in his own words: “I’m full. I thik if I swallow any more cum, I’ll end up like Rod Stewart and I don’t want to be like Rod Fucking Stewart.”

    Why does Kevin Richardson look like he has AIDS?

    Now that he quit the Backside Boys, he can pursue other interests….like joining Hanson or being Nick Lachey’s cabana boy.

    Everybody knows the Backstreet Boys were constructed using models from clippings out of Tiger Beat, and sewn together from medical waste found in a dumpster behind a children’s clinic in Beijing. The communist Chinese used a secret radiation machine to give “life” to these “Atomic Singing Grownup-Children” in the hopes of disrupting the United States economy enough to be able to take our country over, impregnate our women with their Oriental seed, sexually assault our National monuments, and overcrowd our parks system with small two-stroke vehicles.

    The sad thing is, if you read the entire article…they are going into the studio to make a NEW CD!!!! Shit, I thought if Tom Cruise ever managed to impregnate a woman that the world would end. WEll come on world, if you’re gonna end, do it before those turds put out another CD.

    Oh, and Tom Cruise impregnating a woman is surprising becuase he LOVES the cock.

    Oh and jane probably doesn’t know who the backstreet boys are. But she does know who the backsteret boys are. And by backsteret, I mean that the body doubles who travelled to san bernadino and volunteered to to play in porn/ ghetto country for the backstreet boys. So they wouldn’t get shot or nothin.

    It’s been rumored that the Backstreet Boys, O Town, 98 Degrees, and the remaning N Sync boys will be forming a supergroup called Who the Fuck Gives a Shit. WFGS is currently in the studio working on their debut CD reportedly entitled “Please Buy a Ticket and Shoot Me On Stage” and is in talks to expand their marketing prowess to dildos and cockrings. The group’s publicists could not be reached for comment, but was overheard mumbling angrily to himself “TCLTC”.
