The sixth nonsense

  • April 4, 2006
  • Popjustice

Viewers! Let's just pause briefly on this Tuesday morning to examine the new Shayne Ward video.

* Shayne Ward hangs around a girl in a bar. He's trying to get her attention! "Look! It's me off X Factor! What time is it? It's Shayne Ward time!"

* Perhaps wisely, the girl ignores Shayne Ward.

* Shayne Ward tries to touch the girl. She's not having any of it. Shayne Ward seems upset.

* Shayne Ward follows the girl home TO HER FLAT.

* Instead of imme­di­ately molesting her, Shayne Ward first opts to watch the girl undress.

* The girl then goes onto the roof IN HER PANTS in order to escape Shayne Ward.

* Shayne Ward follows her onto the roof and starts touching the girl in her bathing suit area. This is going to end messily.

* SHAYNE WARD TURNS INTO HIS OWN GRAVESTONE!!!!

* Ghost Of Shayne Ward dances with the girl in the middle of the road in oddly perilous nec­ro­philiac groove 'effort'.

* Ghost Of Shayne Ward stops girl being run over by a bus. Page 3 in the Zombie Stalker's Rulebook: "Touching up ladies is fine — don't let them get run over". Brilliant.

* Ghost Of Shayne Ward  wanders off, no doubt doomed to 'walk the night' and molest pretty ladies in pop videos until and beyond the end of time itself, trapped in a mid-tempo Hell of his own creation etc etc etc.

A truly aston­ish­ing piece of work.

Of course, this poses more questions than it answers, the most important question being: if you were to be unwit­tingly molested from beyond the grave by any dead popstar, which popstar would you choose? Email us now!
