Usually, this is not the sort of controversy I'd weigh in on, but so soon after the "You Lie!" episode, the wounds have not healed. What really separates Kanye West and Joe Wilson?

Apparently, nothing: Kanye interrupts the President.

Thank you. This is quite helpful. It led me to the following, which makes me appreciate the Beyonce video much more. Best video? No way, and I still condemn the materialistic message that ABBA is in denial about, but I think I get it more now:

One more thing, and then I've said enough.

All this is taking attention away from what really matters - Taylor Swift's video! Why isn't anyone talking about Taylor Swift's video?

You are wrong. The message is for single ladies to go out and get big rings. Which is completely moronic. As if the song itself were not horrible enough, it has to come with this completely vapid and materialistic message.

is she wearing a necklace? ladies wear necklaces so we stare at their breasts. if she is wearing a necklace maybe that's why people like the video?

Moving on, I went to Chuck E. Cheese this weekend for the first time ever. Contrary to what I was made to believe here, there was no booze. No. Booze. Hank's portrayal of the place as a den of trashy iniquity where parents drank and smoked in the corner while the children ran amok in a Lord-of-the-Flies-esque game pit was completely inaccurate. It is basically a Disney-fied birthday factory with complete sensory overload. I can see why B'n'B's nephew or whatever is concerned about the giant mouse, though. He was pretty creepy.

David Lee Roth: "California Girls" and "Just a Gigolo."

Radiohead: "Suterranean Homesick Alien."

Glenn Frey: "Smuggler's Blues" (awful song, but filmed like a Miami Vice episode)

Stones: "Undercover of the Night"

Yeah, I think you are right. Well, whomever's nephew it is has a good basis for his fears. Also, before the big mouse comes out, his minions work the crowd into a frenzy, making everyone chant "Chuck E. Cheese" over and over, louder and louder. That was unsettling.

And Michael's "I Want Your Sex." The awkward title bugs me and the song's awful, but there's a lot of pouring of interesting fluids on some Asian model.

I also do not get the hype, although, as I have mentioned here before, her song gets stuck in my head. It's catchy. Like "cos-tan-za!"

Maybe the CEC's in Detroit serve booze and need to officially prohibit knives, chains, and glass cutters, but not in Edina. Come to think of it, the lurking threat of drunken gang violence might have added a welcome edginess to the environment.

Jezebel likes to post pictures of her pretty regularly. I wouldn't be able to pick out a song of hers out of a lineup. But I like her for the way she simply baffles people with her attire.
