Ridiculous rappers and great waters

“We need to go step to MTV and Viacom, and let’s talk about all these fucking shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can’t watch this shit. Dating shows that’s showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon. Let’s talk about shit like that! If that’s not fucking up America, I don’t know what is.”
–Ja Rule to "Complex" magazine

The irony, of course, being that Ja Rule sings about bitches and ho’s and capping a nigga’s ass.  And that’s…good for America?  I get that not all famous people are smart or even all that intelligible, but knowing this, why are they given a platform to speak on political or social issues?  Perhaps they should stick to postulating and lip synching on stage, and keep their limited-in-depth thoughts on bigger matters to their sad, rich selves.

And while we’s talkin’ ’bout rappers, I can’t stand Akon.  Sounds like he’s singing through a straw.

I’m terrified of large bodies of water.  I used to have this dream where I was sitting in the bleachers of the Shamu stadium at Sea World, and they slowly began to collapse in on each other to form a straight wall that threatened to dip me into the tank.  I’m still scared of large bodies of water to this day.  Pretty to look at, but not to be in.  That’s my philosophy.
