As we all know by now, shining Top 40 pop star Meghan Trainor is a Massachusetts native, having been born on Nantucket Island in 1993 and raised out on the Cape. She even took a few summer classes at Berklee College of Music. What we also know after this weekend is that Entertainment Weekly has a terrible sense of humor, as evidenced by some cheesy-as-fuck jokes at the expense of our beloved Commonwealth.
Boston Magazine assistant digital editor Bryanna Cappadona points out the publication’s sad “attempt at making Massachusetts jokes” in a recent issue of EW, adding: “This is upsetting.”
Sure is.
Among the comedy gold struck in the Trainor graphic, which you can view below, are top-shelf digs involving lobsters, sand eels (?!?!), and the ever-so-timeless “Yankees Suck!”
Is Trainor all about that baseball?
Trainor plays a kinda-sorta homecoming show March 17 at the Paradise Rock Club, which falls on St. Patrick’s Day, a day known to reinforce our most cherished beliefs about Massachusetts.
Someone get EW on the horn, stat.
Watch Trainor’s current hit, “Lips Are Movin,” below.
