Random Thought #1,674
Is it bad that everytime I hear the “Edge of Seventeen” guitar riff, I have to run home and play Destiny’s Child’s Bootylicious? Does that just serve Stevie Nicks right for selling out to Beyonce or is there something seriously wrong with me?
HOMER WAS RIGHT!
“An emu farm? Marge, you’re priceless!”
Why do celebrities always have the worst haircuts when scandal hits?
Here’s P. Diddy in his best Mr. T Mohawk!
And then there’s Rosie’s Edward Scissorhands moment?
WICKED!
I have tickets to the latest Broadway sensation, Wicked, in my hot little hands, well, not right this minute because I’m typing (Joel Grey, the Glory worshipper from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, who slashed Dawn (my namesake) is in it!) …. Anyway, went right up to the box office and said: best tickets in the house please. And walked away three minutes later with seats third row from the back… oh well… sure beats the days when I would walk up to the box office and say, “least expensive seats, without a beam blocking the stage, please… oh… really? that much? ok, beam seats are fine, thanks.
Oh, The Irony!
Unabomber doesn’t want people messing with his mail!
My acquaintance and her boyfriend were actually watching the Ted Kaczynski made for TV-movie last weekend, and were wondering what happened to him in jail.
Now we know.
IS OUR CHILDREN EVIL? PART II
How they can turn hazing into homosexuality is beyond me,” she said. Then she spotted a sign held by one of the Phelps sisters reading, “Thank God for Sept. 11th.”
“That’s a travesty. They have the audacity to come to New York and insult 9/11. A lot of people lost family members,” Saladino said.
IS OUR CHILDREN EVIL?
Bill O’Reilly’s all hatin’ on Ludacris… again (Tarantino and of course, Eminem also take a beating.) But this time it’s all in the name of the children. In his latest column he writes…
“It is time for Americans to realize that your homes have been invaded by insidious forces beyond your control. The harmful music, movies, computer images and television will affect your kids, no matter what you do. And yet the American media are celebrating this very troubling turn of events…. Somewhere, the Devil is grinning.”
Yeah, when I think about the problems facing today’s youth, movies and music are the first to leap to mind. Nevermind the millions of African children orphaned by the AIDS virus because of ignorance and unaffordable medicines, or the children in prison for adult crimes, kids with no healthcare, street crimes, family abuse, struggling schools, inadequate daycare, poverty and lest we forget homework and pop quizzes.
If Satan is smiling Mr. O’Reilly, it’s because the so called moral majority has turned our attention away from the things that will really improve the lives of our kids.
Despite prattle about too much violence in music and movies, we support bombing campaign after bombing campaign although the “hard slog” still lies ahead (read: more dead bodies.) Kids don’t forget to get your President Bush action figure out this month!
We don’t like rappers singing about exploiting women, but we eliminate federal aid for poor women and force them to work multiple jobs for welfare, without any hope for advancement or training in transferable skills or even daycare for their kids. The Governor-elect of California refuses to come clean about his groping record. George W. Bush mocked a woman on death row when her lawyers filed their last appeal on her behalf to his office.
Which is worse musicians singing about fictional pimps and hoes or the real life carnage and suffering? Which gets more airtime and finger wagging?
Oh, Satan is smiling alright.
