Towards A Virtual Williamsburg!

I'm really more curious about the minstrel versus hommage argument. Seems more like the latter to me, but when does it cross the line? Dunno. And unlike Pat Boone (not singling him out) cover songs, it's not as if she is "sanitizing" art for a white audience.

Not Bob, your secretary is going home tonight to tell her husband how you spent the whole day looking at video clips of a girl your daughter's age simulating sex while muttering some things about race, and minstrels, and hound dogs, and never going back, and her husband is going to say, "Honey, I think we've hit the jackpot. Time to go see your cousin and file that hos-tel work envi-romint claim he keeps talking about."

We haven't had a good old-fashioned slut-shaming since Rush Limbaugh took on Sandra Fluke. Let's get it on!

All I'm saying is that the controversy is the whole point. Whether it's one side clucking "Isn't it awful?" or the other side tut-tutting about slut-shaming, MTV wants me to talk about this Big Issue. Next year it'll be something else, like clockwork. Maybe a fist-fight between Chris Brown and Sasha Baron Cohen's new character coming soon to a theater near you? I'm tired of it because it is tiresome.

Finally, relevance.

Correct. They are utter shite.

Perhaps.

But years from now we'll still be talking about my Guernica post.

Fair point. It is the 2nd best Guernica post ever (37 tied for 1st).

So you're tired of MTV creating some trumped up thing that no reasonable person would even think about, and spending inordinate amounts of time trying to make sure people pay some attention? Think about how the rest of us feel.

But forget her. She needs twerkin' lessons from the woman in the blue and white-striped shorts in this video:
