Snark, Critic and Pop!

There have been many times someone has mentioned Vanilla Ice (the “singer” if you will) and I have though “Gee, he seems to be a real tool… or maybe, some type of pirate”.  Well, it is the latter of course.  Rob Van Winkle as his mother would call him if she were not horribly ashamed of him, will be starring as Captain Hook in a pantomime of Peter Pan at the Central Theatre in Chatham, Kent.  Yes, he is still alive and apparently getting work.  Why hire him?

Tony Hill, the theatre’s general manager, said: “Ice is a huge name who I am sure will be a real draw for parents and children alike.”

He added: “(He) has never performed in a pantomime before, but I am sure that he will go down as a hit.”
