The Forbidden Blog is Boo
We assume it escaped none of you that one of the most dumbfounding elements of The Forbidden Dance Is Lambada is the title itself.
No, we are not finished with this Lambada thing already.
Anyway, what for that syntax, yo? Clearly, Lambada, the Forbidden Dance, or even The Forbidden Dance: Lambada makes shitloads more sense.
But the Lambada is not about sense. It is about raw animal passion. And making a statement. And no one can argue that The Forbidden Dance Is Lambada is not a statement. So, being the bursting font of whimsical ideas that she is, Girl-C suggested that we might inform and tantalize the masses by shedding a definitive light on what else is forbidden. We suggest you write these down, lest something end up on your permanent record.
The forbidden fruit is banana.
The forbidden dish is risotto.
The forbidden car is Miata.
The forbidden song is "Brown Eyed Girl".
The forbidden adverb is "blythely".
The forbidden ice cream is pistachio.
The forbidden key is E-flat.
The forbidden channel is Univision.
The forbidden team is Utah Jazz and/or San Jose Sharks.
The forbidden pop star is Brandy.

The forbidden move is scissors.

The forbidden emotion is malaise.

Please let us know if we have missed any categories, our readers' reputations hang in the balance.

The forbidden statement about the Forbidden Dance Is Lambada is "The forbidden movie is The Forbidden Dance Is Lambada."
And what, they're too good for the definite article? The Forbidden Dance is "The" Lambada? That would fix everything, wouldn't it?

Let's not forget that even though the forbidden dance is lambada, people still lambada. I just want you all to make informed decisions.

The forbidden blog topic is Fahrenheit 9/11.
And Jeff, Todd, stop it right now.

OH AND the forbidden word is "flip-flop". (Or maybe that's two forbidden words. Either way, it's forbidden.)
