Smurfette

The newest member of
Blue Man Group only met
half of the requirements. SI

She's Smurfette, and '
musical talent overcame
fact that the group will nk
have to change their name
The newly renamed BI
Group Experience will

Eiffel 65, to promote the
new album, Red Blues.
Smurfette will be play
one of the group's tradem,

She will run through small
plastic tubes as the three men lSmurfette's fans definitely weren't blue after her charismatic performance
blow into the tubes and hit them with drumsticks.
The group's manager, Papa, assures listeners that
this produces a unique sound and is the most inno
vative instrument since the group invented the drum
bone
Smurfette was narrowly chosen for the group
over Harmony Smurf. Harmony was disgruntled by
the decision, saying, "I have years more smurfing
experience than her, I'm the only smurfing one who
knows how to play the Shalakazoo, she's a total
smurfing sellout." The night Smurfette's selection
was announced, Harmony reportedly spent the night
drinking smilax with Grumpy Smurf. In a statement
to the press, Harmony said, "The Blue Man Group

ident has resurrected Senator Joseph McCarthy to
investigate them. McCarthy has uncovered that
Smurfette spent much of her life living in an isolat
ed socialist commune in the forest. In this commu
nity, each person was assigned a job to benefit the
collective. Calling her character into question.
McCarthy has accused Smurfette of living off of her
only marketable skill, being a woman. Smurfette
responded to these allegations in a press briefing
stating, "I have never smurfed anyone for money."
Watchdog groups suspect that McCarthy is work
ing with black arts practitioner, Gargamel.
Gargamel's apprentice, Scruple, let it slip during an
interview that they are working on a scheme called
Soylent Blue. The interview was cut short when
there was a colorful explosion, and wacky yet
unfrightening chaos ensued. However, this all
turned out to be a commercial for the new Intel
Pentium B, the smallest, bluest microchip yet.
