Sixty minute man...give or take fifty
Rapper Busta Rhymes has made a somewhat unusual request for his backstage room at tonight's MTV Music Awards. He wants two boxes of condoms. Personally, I don't find the request all that impressive Mr. Rhymes -- although I'm quite sure that was your intent. The average box of condoms has 12 each for a grand total of 24 requested condoms. The awards ceremony is slated at 3 hours long. Add in another hour for pre-show preparations, and you've got 4 hours total. Divide 240 minutes by 24 condoms, and you get exactly 10 minutes per lay -- not accounting for the time you might actually be presenting, performing, and/or in the audience. My what stamina you've got there, Busta. *swoon*


    Other star requests include:
  1. Six bottles of Cristal champagne, of course (Ja Rule)
  2. Drinking straws, to save her lipstick obviously (Shakira)
  3. 48 towels -- is there a significance to that number? (Pink)
  4. Nintendo games console (Justin Timberlake)

Oh to be so famous, rich, spoiled, footloose and panty free!



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



48 towels = 1 per person per condom of Busta's. Makes perfect sense to me ;)

JT just wants to break down some people in a little Soul Caliber II.

If I were there, I think I'd request Killy Ripa's husband, Mark Consuelos in my dressing room. Yeah, definitely.

Actually, I saw something on TV about strange requests--some band requested a bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed. If they saw a brown M&M, they would know the contract had not been fully read and would go back to recheck important details, such as whether the stage was set up and reinforced properly to hold all their equipment.

That band was Van Halen in the 80s. :-) You can find more band backstage requests here.

If feisty girl is taking Mark I'd gladly take Kelly.

On the Busta thing, all I can think is it's for his crew, Flipmode Squad. Besides Busta they consists of five other members, including one female. That may divvy things up a little better...

hey now... don't be raggin on Shakira. drinking straws? that's nothin. maybe she just wants to make sure she doesn't get cooties from putting her lips on the glasses...

It's even less impressive than you thought: you didn't figure any time for foreplay into your calculation. Or maybe we can safely assume that's not in Busta's bag of tricks.

Well maybe just maybe Busta won't be the only guy who will be using those condems? ...

nope but it could give an intresting turn to his video clips :) no more almost naked girls surrounding him but men in thongs :p

Actually, you're being very generous. The "standard" pack of condoms is 3; the "economy-size" pack holds 12. So, redoing your math, 240/6=40 minutes per. Even decrepit I could manage that...
