Today on Bop Marry Kill, we explore an element of society that I have become FAR to familiar with lately, daytime television.

So today we start with everyone’s favorite lesbian...

The Butcher, The Baker, The Candlestick Maker
Today’s Bop Marry Kill comes with an assist from everyone’s favorite 2009 Evvys’ host, Sam Clarke.

We’ll start with the butcher. Next we shall look...

Joe Jonas, Kevin Jonas, Nick Jonas
Well folks, I guess this one was inevitable. It comes at the request of Gaby Dunn. Today, Disney-created pop sensations, the Jonas Brothers. This pains me to have to do, but there are three of them and they’re still like, vaguely in the public lexicon. Though if I’m not mistaken they’ve been replaced by some Zygote called Justin Bieber in terms of uncomfortably young, sexualized...
Failure, Loneliness, Poverty
In honor of most people I know’s impending graduation and my recent quitting of my job, today I present a VERY abstract Bop/marry/kill segment. It features three of the most prominent forces facing most people I know right now; failure, Loneliness, and Poverty. So let’s get down to brass tacks.
First we’ve got failure:
Why you should bop it:
Failure is just indescribably...
George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney
Good evening bop/marry/kill aficionados. Tonight I present another vaguely reader request type one (though I was contemplating doing this one eventually). Tonight we explore the Beatles.

Anyway, they...

Anyway, I present to you, dear reader, Bop/marry/kill Ramones, Sex Pistols, and the Clash.
