"A mindless rant!" , posted Thu 3 Oct 19:29

Has anyone seen the new Christina Aguilera video,"Dirty"? I heard she's in red panties and spars with another chick. I just downloaded the song,good stuff.

She may have no ass or boobs,but I like her better than Britney.

*rant*

Personally,all this MTV wannabe-sex shit is getting old fast! How many videos have I seen with tight-ass thong shakin' honeys? (I don't mind,but it's the same old formula).

And what is up with Justin "queer" Timberlake? Man! Who does this stupid-ass think he is? God's gift to women? Trying to be a whiter version of Michael Jackson. Grrrrrr..........I hope he fades into obscurity.

Good choice Freeter...

and as for the rant... it's a part of pop culture, accept it. Ranting about it does nothing. It's best to go "OK, Whatever." Than go on about something that is absolutely meaningless. Does this have any true impact on your life? Is it so important that these people are getting paid to shake their buns in skimpy clothes? If it bothers you... move on.

Or is it that it's been your life long dream to wear thongs on national TV? Hmm....

Depends on your opinion. If you feel CNN is too slanted toward a pro-corporate bias, it ain't for you. If you don't have an anti-globalization bias, though, then it's okay for you.

[Edit: Whew... reading through that, it sounds like I have a bias myself. I mean for it to read in a moderate manner, though. Sorry for any confusion!]

With all of the media choices out there, be it on the computer or else where one really doesn't have to be confined by the choices of "Pop Culture". You can easily find something else to watch and listen too...

Me? I find it better and easier just to find ignore pop culture trends I don't like and move on to stuff I do. And while I may argue why I don't like certain things, In the end I think anyone is allowed to watch and listen to anything they want.

If somebody like Britney Spears is making a living of pop music, then I'm cool with that and the people that like her music. I'll avoid it like the plague myself and pop in some Beatles, but other people can listen to it no problem.

Though I am happy that the Ozzy Osbourne Reality show is on the air. Not that I care for it, but it's brought back Black Sabbath to the air waves. And while I'm not a heavy metal fan I really dig the heavy guitar riffs in their songs...:)

Yeah, the Fox News Network really does. However, I live in Boulder, Colorado, where it seems that the loudest voice (the extremist liberals) shout out that corporate = evil. Of course, it gets even worse when the extremist conservatives come in with their "holier-than-thou" attitudes...

... thankfully, if you're a moderate like me and hate the extremes (in itself an extreme ;]) the problem of extremes can actually be ignored if you stay away from the opinion sections of the local media sources here.

... but, yeah -- CNN can be seen either way, really. At least both sides of the arguments are presented here -- and they're actually presented more often in a moderate voice, thankfully. :) (It's just that the extremists are always annoyingly loud.)

NPR (National Public Radio)

&

PBS (Public Broadcasting S???)

Both are pretty good. Either that, or just watch less TV but always know that someone is always trying sell you something.

Personally I think watching the religious right getting angry about Jerry Springer or Smackdown! is just as funny, as watching either show.

Basically do whatever you want to do, just think about what you are consuming and producing. Express your views as much as you want, as long as you don't tread over people. And don't listen to everything you hear, even though it might come from an authority figure or knowledgeable person. Everyone has an agenda.

I guess that's it. Now, go out and live life!

I still think its funny that Britney, Christina, N'Sync, hell any teen fad is deemed pop culture, when it is obvious only teeny boppers actually like their music. I consider it more of a "famous culture" because face it, it is posters of Britney on male teenagers bedroom walls not her half assed songs that keep her in the spotlight ^_^

Hey! That's a nice, mellow, smooth jazzy kind of song. I like those types of songs. Seeing as it is more of a jazz type song, I'm surprised it got as much play on MTV (an extrememly mainstream based music station) as it did.

That and Nora Jones is just friggin' gorgeous!

I force myself to keep self control so even if I think a girl is "hot" I ignore it because I doubt she'd have interest in me. I despise Sarah Michele Gellar and all other idiotic, ditzy mainstream chicks. "Models" turn my stomach. While most guys would like to bang women like Pamela Anderson, if I met her I'd rather Yamazaki Secret SDM canceled into Desperate Oppression and then juggled into a Hyper Viper Beam.

I understand the feeling with regards to being frustrated with the popular ideal of the testosterone-laden I-AM-BIG-STRONG-MAN types of guys and giggling LIKE-OH-MY-GAWD types of gals. It can really be rather annoying at times*. However...

[Edit: Here, I go into a tangent that doesn't relate to relations, couples, and crushes (my apologies for that...). But, it relates to the concept of similar experiences that such folks aren't all bad...]

...university life has rather strongly disspelled the myth that such kinds of folks in college aren't doing anything with their lives. There were several times in my past years when I got the results for a test I was confident I was going to ace -- and I ended up getting a lower score than those who had given me impressions of beings rockheads and/or ditzes. Then I speak with them about the class -- and surprisingly, despite their previous appearances and my previous impressions of them, they speak as if they were experts on the class subject. Really rather surprising -- and it's a heck of a wake-up call to tell me that my competition in the job market isn't going to be as easy to overcome as I originally thought.

I've got several nerd-type friends who haven't dared associate with them (lest they get "drunken-potential-college-dropout" cooties, or something else inexplicable or equally stupid like that), and they still remain clueless -- they still think most of those kinds of people are doing nothing with their lives. Kind of erroneous, and I hope they're prepared for the shock when they actually hit the job market...

*[And with regards to the comment above -- they might be rather annoying to me at times, but that's just because I don't really associate with the culture, even if I have good friends from it. Besides, I probably get equally annoying to them when I loudly recite quotes from Ren and Stimpy, Freakazoid, and Invader Zim with friends of mine; probably just as much when I actually manage to talk geek ;] (which doesn't happen often, since I'm an Economics major and lack in my l33tness. I can at least talk about the concepts of economics in a heigtened philosophical manner, provided I've learned the concepts...)]

IRON CHEF!

There IS an Iron Chef game.

WHOA! That is like [mind is spinning]

is it any good?

And you aren't poking fun at the British, are you? ^_^

Not really. It's sort of below the belt blow but it's meant in fun and I hope who it is directed to doesn't get mad (if he even noticed it). Considering how on the mark you are about some of my comments, I would have really enjoyed having you at my forum.

I know who it is directed to, i think it's funny. And Iron D, I like that Nora Jones' song too, I haven't heard any of her other stuff yet though. I like Jazz.

I guess I was in a sort of disgruntled mood right then. I do know that not all "model" types are slow. Many of the cheerleaders at my high school were A students. There are times when I get frustrated with rejection. I'm somewhat um... jealous of happy couples. Sort of stuck in the "nice guys finish last" syndrome.

I still can't stand Pamela Anderson though...

Zam: THis sums up my thoughts to a freakin' tee. It's like someone else typing out my thoughts online.

Funny thing is that I actually like that show. Pending on the episode.

....eeeeeeeviiiiiil!!!!

Hungrywolf: Well, it's certainly good to see another jazz man on the board. I was once a part of my school's jazz band (twice actually). I've grown to love jazz immensely since then.

Useless but true fact: Australian soldiers used "We're Off to See the Wizard" as a marching song during WWII.

Iron Chef,I never heard of that. What is it exactly?

*is confused and brain isn't working*

As for the Onslaught comment,I'll ignore it. Why can't we just live in peace?

I don't want to be enemies with no one.

I'd insult you Onslaught,but I don't want too. There's just no reason any more.

Heh, heh. I saw what you typed before you edited your message. Keep your cool, man!

I certainly did think it was weird for Onslaught to reappear just to flame someone after not posting for a long time, and just disappearing again. I think I'll e-mail him and find out what's up. Now that I think of it, I haven't checked my mail in a while...

Again, anybody here ever played Burger Burger? ^_^

Is that the old old arcade game where you have to form the biggest, highest meanest burger to score lotsa points while avoiding baddies? I think you also had to spray the enemies with pepper spray (ouch) or ketchup.

Treasure's Bangai-O made me hungry after seeing all that fruit... and the same goes with old arcade games like Dr. No! and Bobble Bubble.

Haha, Konami's Bishi Bashi Champ 1 & 2 also have a lot of food related minigames ^^
