Ahhhhhhh………Super Bowl.
It’s become the second biggest gorging experience (Thanksgiving being
the first) for Americans. Now that this
one is in the history books, we have another half time show to chew over and
fuss about.
Evidently MIA, a rapper, flipped the bird to America as she
toiled and worked to earn her well-deserved sheckles yesterday. It was not enough that this person was PAID
to be a part of the biggest voyeur event of the year, but she decided to make a
lasting impression by passing on her personal (?)….political (?)….religious (?)
opinion with a hand gesture that is reserved for the most contempt one can
express.
I’ve not seen the picture of this “star”; I don’t have a
clue what she looks like or what her “art form” may be. I couldn’t pick her out of a line up,
although my bet would be she’s been in one before. I am, however, entitled to express my opinion
just as she has taken her chance to express hers….and here it is:
If no one ever
bought another of your albums because they
took your gesture seriously and understood that it meant “I’ve got mine,
you idiot, because you are dumb enough to pour your money into my greedy
coffers while I laugh at you all the way to the bank”…..and if the American
public decided to demand a standard of talent and behavior from performers that was far above what you can
provide….you would be working in a McDonalds drive through and the only thing
anyone would ever hear from you again would be, “would you like fries with
that?”.
Until Americans raise their standards these thugs who seem
to fill the television screen and the tabloid papers will continue to take the
money and run. With no moral code, no
standard for talent and no regard for how this poison affects our children we
can only expect more of the same.
Shame on us.
If you don’t
watch this nonsense on TV…….Life is Good.
