Spice Girls Agree: Baghdad Sucks, Toronto Rules
We don't need the Toronto FC to host Team Galaxy if we want Victoria Beckham to visit our town. Nope, all we have to do is facecrack the living hell out of an online vote, and we get not only Posh, but Scary, Ginger, Sporty and Baby as well. The International Tribune is reporting that, thanks to our facebook addicted populace, Toronto is getting the extra Spice Girls show not originally slated to hit the city.
The girls held an online vote, and were supposedly fully prepared to book a show anywhere in the world so long as it netted the most votes from their rabid fanbase. The closest competition was Baghdad, which held an early lead before our forces mobilized and overtook the city. Sometime in January, Spice Girls' Chupa Chups are going to be sticking out of everyone's mouths. Hit the jump to check out the facebook groups partially responsible for this awesominity.

Is it sad that I'm excited about this? It's not a surprise I guess...I do know all the actions for the song "Stop."
Ohh man, I am ashamed of being Torontonian, the sight of them being in Baghdad is priceless.
... Then again, the Iraqis have suffered so much, they don't need anymore to suffer about
Oh, and Ryan, this sentence was classic:

Awesome.
I am both proud and ashamed to not only have been part of the 'Spice Up Toronto' group, but that the creator is a friend of mine. Ah, proud shame.
