Shall we dive back into the working week with a tasty slice of schadenfreude? Think of it as a wheat grass shot for the soul via the music industry's most embarrassing yearbook photos.

From Gene Simmons and Prince to Madonna and Avril Lavigne (who surprise surprise wasn't a punk) Impact Lab have compiled a skin-crawling collection of yearbook photos which belie the superstar persona those manipulative Record Companies would have you believe.

Case in point? Lil John was once the long lost cousin of Steve Urkel. Eminem looks like a beady eyed yokel who's one defective gene away from retardation. And while currently channeling "sexually ambiguous metrosexual" American Idol host Ryan Seacrest rocked the decidedly less sexy "future pedophile" look in middle school. Thank God our yearbook photos will never see the light of day.

Tman gives me so much faith in the future of America... and I have no doubt that he's an American. White, 14, virgin, IQ of about 75, daddy messes with him after the lights go out.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through. 
Willow - Aug 02, 2010 at 05:19am
Yeah, wth happened to Prince? I heard Michael Jackson had a skin pigment problem....Manson is still sexy....Lil Jon....WOW....hillarious 
asshole - Aug 21, 2010 at 05:04am
I now understand why prince is apparently so good at basketball.

Also whats with all the racism, I know you guys think you're funny. You're not. Save that shit for your kkk meetings.

MA - Oct 21, 2010 at 06:40am
@Lula thats sooooo wrong, usually youth today are overly sympathetic towards black people, not to mention they try to act like them and listen to all their god awful music. And his dad touching him? WTF woman you're weird. Racist yes, but not any of that other stuff
