...bulk," over a video conference call, he goes to his brother's wedding weekend, re-wounding his old inamorata (Jennifer Garner) while causing about as much domestic havoc as Anne Hathaway did in Rachel Getting Married, and with the same low entertainment payoff. This alpha dog is a baaad Connor; Scrooge-like, he must be visited by three spirits who will show him the error of his ways...
...racial aspect to the goo-suit: it gives Peter not just black impulses but a black (Afro-American) attitude. Bopping down the street to a hip-hop rhythm, he's laughably gauche - a white kid playing at soul man, a good kid who's not very good at being baaad...

...even more than cops, take the brunt of the abuse on the album. Listening to a continual obscene litany about bitches, hos, and the things they want or are willing to do with the group's sex organs is an exercise in brutalization. It doesn't make N.W.A. seem baaad, it makes them look awful. M.C. Ren doesn't see it that way, natch. "Ever since we did Just Don't Bite It ((on the EP 100 Miles and Runnin')), girls tell me how much they like it," he says. "They like She Swallowed It a lot. The only people...
