Does anyone care? Did anyone ask for a reunion of the New Kids?

Can a group of 30somethings still be called NEW KIDS?

Honestly, can a boy band filled with 30somethings be seen as anything other than a joke?

    Heh, yeah I saw this this morning. I just tried to find the article that shows a really old group picture, which is unbelievably barfy-cheezy - but now I can't So I give you instead this link which has an old video clip:

    Actually, Joey McIntyre is looking rather yummy...

    Anyway, NKOTB was my sister's FIRST CONCERT!! Heee! I remember it like yesterday, she came back from it all hot and bothered, and tried to recreate for me their "sexy" pelvic thrusts! AAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH! I will never let her forget it, ever!

      I still have hard time believeing that Wahlberg will bother, I mean he's a respected actor now fer chris'sakes..is he TRYING to destroy his career.

      Course what's even scarier is what if they do it and they are really good, I mean better than they ever were back in the day..now that would be odd!

    Old F*ckers on the Block doesn't have quite the same appeal.

        Barenaked Ladies - "New Kid (On The Block)"

        I didn't ask to be famous, but I'm not sore.
        'Cause you can see my face in the window of every store.
        You can buy my lunch box, and you can wear my clothes,
        You can remember my name just as plain as the face under your nose.

        I'm a new kid on the Block,
        'though I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach.
        So we may not write the songs we sing,
        but look at Elvis, he sold his soul and
        you crowned him King.

        I didn't ask to be famous, but I'm not sad,
        You see, I've got everything that I always wished I had.
        I thank my manager and I thank the screaming girls,
        I thank my hairdresser for giving me such beautiful curls.

        Now I'm a New Kid on the Block,
        well I'm twenty-three and they won't let me grow up.
        I went down to register for the draft,
        well I got up to the counter, and the lady there just laughed.

        She said You're a New Kid on the Block,
        young girls scream and old boys mock,
        well you broke my youngest daughter's heart.
        I knew you kids were trouble from the start.

        I didn't ask to be famous, but I'm not sure
        that we're as apple pie as you always thought we were.
        I can stay up all night. I can have a blast.
        I can breakdance, I can fight, I can kick your sorry ass.

        I'm a New Kid on the Block,
        and 'though I may not be Johann Sebastian Back,
        there's no need to be afraid of us
        'though it just might be your daughter on our bus.
