You know what really has been pissing me off for the last few days. I watched about as much as I could stomach of the 2000 VMA's (which turned out to be all of 10-15 minutes, although it did include Ms. Spears' pole dance). Now, I'm sure Butch or any other people who know me would say I am about as un-conservative as it gets when it comes to sex. Hell, I wrote my senior thesis in defense of the entire pornography industry. But the two-facedness of today's teen idols is absolutely disgusting.
On one hand we have people like the aforementioned stripper, Jessica Simpson and the dude from 98 degrees, and I think Enrique Inglasias (sp?) all being advocates for absitence. Five minutes later, Brittney's giving us all a good look at her crack, and Enrique's got a few chicks humping his leg in a video. I dunno, I think it'd be hard to reconcile these images with their "stay celibate, stay safe" message. I mean, I am certainly NOT advocating celibacy, but then again, I certainly recognize situations where it's a fantastic idea.
I know music is a business, and these things are supposed to reflect some intellectual depth on the part of the artists. C'mon, who are you fooling? Try and think of something that makes a little more sense. Instead of celibacy, maybe they should warn against the dangers of rhinestone thongs (re: chafing and glass-like hazards).
Just a quick rant, I'm better now.
