Edd’s MANtra: Romeo’s Many Juliets

Ladies and gentlemen, our society is facing a disturbing new trend.


Grown, intelligent women – your friends, coworkers, even wives – now consider Lil Romeo a sex symbol.

Yes, THAT Lil Romeo.


Now 21 and known as Romeo Miller, he’s part of the cast of Dancing With The Stars. Needless to say, I haven’t seen 15 seconds of that show. You’re more likely to catch me watching wrestling, The Event, The Bad Girls Club or reruns of the 60s Batman show (in that order) on a Monday night.


But just because I haven’t been watching doesn’t mean I’ve avoided Romeo’s admirers. For two weeks straight, I received text messages and emails asking “Is that THE Lil Romeo? He sure grew up, if you know what I’m saying.”


Oh, I know what you’re saying lady. And you should be ashamed. He may be older, he may now be legal, but he’s still the spawn of Master P, and is still lame.


Maybe it’s just me but I think it’s weird to swoon over a former child star. When I see Raven Symone, I only see Olivia. When I see Jodie Sweetin, I only see Stephanie Tanner. When I see Lindsay Lohan I only see a crackhead.


To each her own, I guess. But ladies, in case you needed a reminder, here’s the man of your dreams. You can call me a hater now, but you’ll thank me later.
