Gnarls Barkley's rider demands giant condoms

[SVZ]

GNARLS BARKLEY stars CEE-LO and DANGER MOUSE refuse to play gigs unless their dressing room contains a box of super-sized CONDOMS. I was shocked to find the hip-hop duo's prophylactic preoccupation is written into their tour rider, which specifies the exact brand and generous fit.
According to documents obtained by The Smoking Gun website, the pair - who rose to fame with smash hit single CRAZY - also demand alcohol, soft drinks, baked goods and a pack of white athletic socks backstage.
Strange.

haha that's lame.
and that 'crazy' song was soooo overrated.

[aabbcc]

That is very lame. Are we supposed to be impressed? He probably uses them to make water balloons to drop out of hotel windows.

I just recently figured out who Gnarls Barkley was. When I first heard his name, I thought, "Wow, they are really screwing up Charles Barkley's name. And he's very versatile. He can play basketball and have a song, too."

Athletic socks? Are they to stuff down his pants so people believe the large condoms really fit him?

[Dean James]

Maybe with the socks they're just trying to follow the Red Hot Chili Peppers' uh... lead.

[bite me spidey]

They can't afford their own condoms? Come on. They probably did this on purpose for publicity — and because it makes them sound large. Men.
