Jackson 5 Reunite in 2008: is this a fucking joke?

So if you haven't heard, the Jackson 5 have "discussed" concert dates, and are currently "in the studio." I shudder at the thought that a Jackson 5 reunion tour might be in the works. I mean, seriously, The Jackson 5 was a really cute idea when Michael was like 6 years old and had an afro. Who wouldn't swoon at the idea of a bunch of teen-aged boys, fronted by a kindergartener who sings about getting his girlfriend back? It's freaking adorable.

For the record: I will be the last person to claim that these kids weren't talented and that the Jackson 5 wasn't great, but COME ON! A reunion tour? Could they possibly do anything more embarassing? Let's examine the evidence:

• Jermaine Jackson's stint on reality TV
• Jackie's son calls himself "Skiggy" aka "DealZ"
• I'll let someone else refresh your Michael memory cause I'm not interested in writing tabloids

MY POINT: the only way this won't go down in history as the most shockingly pathetic comeback since, like, THE DAWN OF TIME, is if they've come up with some fan-fucking-tastic new material. Hey, it could happen...
