I mean, the single is called "Dirrty". And it starts off with her (or Redman, I can't remember) saying "Dirty. Nasty. Filthy. Too dirty to clean my act up."<BR/><BR/>A lot of people celebrate this as sexual liberation or empowerment, but to me it's just this weird, sexed-up puritanism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999039.post-1154015755464875422006-07-27T11:55:00.000-04:002006-07-27T11:55:00.000-04:00hey. excellent discussion points today...i think i...hey. excellent discussion points today...i think i agree with blackmail and ween on both. <BR/><BR/>i for one am glad the olympics aren't coming to philly. not because of traffic or headaches or the potential for embarrassing ourselves, but because it's a no-win economic move. has one modern games ever provided its host with a decent return on the investment?? "prestige" doesn't mean a damn thing if the city goes broke for 20-years after closing ceremonies. <BR/><BR/>and i love me some christina, primarily because i think she does what she wants: ass chaps or Chanel, sweaty and raunchy or clean and demure. i don't think she's ever pretending/conforming. then again, i'm gullible as all hell, so maybe she just has a killer publicist. <BR/><BR/>-TAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999039.post-1153994309885015462006-07-27T05:58:00.000-04:002006-07-27T05:58:00.000-04:00"I'm mean, why is wrong for her to dress skimpily ..."I'm mean, why is wrong for her to dress skimpily and act like a sexual being?"<BR/><BR/>Rather than going into deeper things, surely its wrong if she feels that she has to do it, rather than wanting to do it. I heard her saying that this is where she feels she is in her life at the moment and being who she wants to be. Personal opinion is that it provides a far beter role model.<BR/><BR/>I don't think a woman would have made the comment that you made. It sounds suspiciously like you are sayng "I miss seeing her in skimpy outfits, so she shouldn't feel prssured to cover up.."<BR/><BR/>"It's all about a man, about how she is in love with a new man and he has made her so happy. I mean, this seems like a far more damaging and antiquated mindset than showing cleavage or a little bit of heiny"<BR/><BR/>How can celebrating a relationship with someone you love be damaging? She's not singing about "now I've got a man, I'm going back in the kitchen". I think that a monogamous relationship, being devoted and loving the other person in that relationship, isn't antiquated, its the best way to beWeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247624293286298443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999039.post-1153969887296903852006-07-26T23:11:00.000-04:002006-07-26T23:11:00.000-04:00Dude, Olympics are the worst thing that can happen...Dude, Olympics are the worst thing that can happen to cities, or in the case of Greece, countries.
