Lance Bass to Continue to Plague Earth's Surface 171

thepooleboy writes "Looks like N'Sync member Lance Bass is NOT going to be shot into space! Yahoo News reports that Rosaviakosmos has not begun talks with Bass or MirCorp. "[Bass' flight] is just an advertising stunt, I can promise you," Spokesman Sergei Gorbunov said. "This is better advertising than he could ever pay for." Good! I'm glad that no cheezy teen pop videos will be staged on the ISS. At least not in the near future..."

    The title of this thread seriously made me laugh out loud. I think I'll suggest a poll of the funniest thread titles to ever hit /.

    I'm pretty sure that "Lance Bass to Continue to Plague Earth's Surface" would even outrank the CowboyNeal option!

    Personally, I think that there people that it would be worth sending into space.

    Although there is the question of who should we send to stay, and who gets to come back. Sending certain overly rich folks such as Bill Gates or Michael Jackson to space to stay only invites comparison to certain old Justin Powers tv episodes (from the series that never existed, yet)

    Any nominations for people to send to space and leave there? People to send to space and return for the benefit of mankind?

    Come on, I am sure that quite a few /. folks wouldn't do the same thing if they had the funds in a heartbeat, at least those of us that could squeeze into a space suit (myself excluded).

    Of course, I am not quite sure where all the animosity comes from. I will be the first to cry out against N'Sync and all that Jedi mumbo jumbo that Lucas tried to pull. Bass himself seems to be pretty smart and articulate, though (from what I saw when he was on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire way back when it was fun to watch at a bar with friends with lots of beer). Of course, anyone talking with Regis Philbin would probably seem pretty smart in comparison. Now that I think about it, not the best way to judge someone.
