TLC Sign Peace Treaty With America's Scrubs

Pop Group TLC Sign Historic Peace Treaty With America's 'Scrub' Community

R 'n' b girl group TLC yesterday signed a peace agreement with America's
community of scrubs, ending years of conflict and rivalry.

Scrubs (dependent black men on low/no income) have been the subject of
ridicule and scorn since 1999 when TLC released their hard-line manifesto
'No Scrubs'.

The peace deal, brokered by former US president Jimmy Carter, represents a
significant shift in policy by TLC and may herald a new era of co-operation.

"We have agreed to tolerate some scrubs," said singer Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes,
"Although we reiterate our position that, no, we don't want their numbers and
no, we don't want none of their time."

The group announced that their long-stated claim that scrubs "can't get no love
from me" is open to future negotiation, without making any firm commitments.
The group have also agreed not to write any more dissy songs about scrubs and
get off their backs for at least one album.

As part of the agreement, scrub representatives have pledged to reduce the
number of times they hang out the passenger side of their best friends' rides.
