Shethinks me doth protest too much.

If the pop stars put themselves out there in a promiscuous way, they are going to be discussed. I’m not taking pot shots at how anyone might behave, or dressing however they want to dress or what they say. I’m not even saying there’s anything wrong with it.

I’m making an observation about how pop stars choose to market themselves. Many women have views about male rap artists’ political incorrectness and I would probably agree with them morally but not on artistic merit. I’m a man with views about this as well.

As Tony Blair would say, “let’s be absolutely clear”. I’m not telling anyone women how they should or shouldn’t be empowered and if anyone does, they can get the hell off my webstie and you can help me get rid of them.

Also, pop tarts was a cheap shot, but only because it pop tarts are a nasty breakfast snack, and I think that’s the true crime that was committed today.

I don’t want it to seem that I think this misguided concept of sexualised behaviour/lyrics is empowering in a postmodern ironic sense or otherwise. I guess what I take exception to is men discussing women in that way. I don’t see that men are in any position to tell women what they should and shouldn’t be doing to feel empowered.

On a lighter note, wasn’t Benny Hill liberating? Afterall the women were chasing him, how right on can you get?

Janet Lee was Jamie Lee Curtis’ mother- the girl in the Psycho shower.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is one of my favorite movies of all time. Ian Fleming and Roald Dahl wrote it! ‘Truly Scrumptious…’ ‘Old Bamboo’, ‘Toot Sweet’- how much better can you get? Not very! Then toss in Benny Hill and Goldfinger for good measure! ( This film was made by the same team that did the ’60s era Bond movies )
I’d watch that movie any old time.

It’s all ‘gettin’ down wiv da kids’ innit? - the bands touting their image and a almost-risqué lyrics for the kids who see this as ‘coolness’ - in my day we had a field day with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang because you could say ’shitty’ and get away with it!

Cliff you didn’t done it, I did.
Mel, I’m sorry. Can I say something about.. um… Jamie Lee Curtis?

my point is probably that people should be seeking empowerment somewhere deeper.

after all let’s face it, that airstrip is going to get worn out and need resurfacing eventually… hell, they might even curb low cost air travel.

My point was not to criticise either sex. It’s the droning on and on about sexuality that I find boring from either sex, and in the case of young pop female singers over the last year and a bit, that’s all they seem to do.

Male rappers are just as annoying. “Ah, riiight, so you have a penis? Excellent. Well done you. Snap, in fact.”

But maybe that’s just me getting old. I don’t know.

Ed - You mean like … THIS!!!!!!!!?

Meester - I’ve just got what that means. They should have stuck in a line about “getcha boody doody free”

So if they wrote the lines themselves, they’re nasty, and if someone wrote them for them, then they’re puppets.

Girls have it so easy nowadays…

I’m glad these girls weren’t popular when I was young. Sade and Olivia and Patti Labelle were risque enough.
Joan Jett and the Runaways rocked, though. Did you know the drummer died very recently?
