I just attempted to watch the VMAs (let's call it "Professional Development") & made it through the MJ tribute and about 2.5 minutes of Russell Brand before I started vomiting in my mouth a little bit... no wonder our kids these days are over-sexed, over-drugged, and politically unaware... all of a sudden I feel an impending sense of doom for the future of our country... thanks MTV and the fabulous left-wing media...
Number one...
Why is a drugged out British nobody making comments about American politics? And what is this "free healthcare" you speak of... because last I checked, those of us that have jobs, will be paying for it... IN TAXES. Shall we examine the European countries that have all had FAILED attempts at Universal Healthcare???
Number two...
Why did the same drugged out British nobody refer to Katie Perry's anatomy as a "glorious entrance?" I am all about the occasional "dirty joke" but really, every kid in America from 8-18 is watching this stupid show... and we're gonna make comments like that??? ...on a similar note, if this is live, how did they block out all 18 other words Russel Brand used in place of the female anatomy? Obviously its scripted, therefore MTV is promoting this bullcrap. I am sick to my stomach.
Number three...
Kanye West. I don't have to say anymore, because his name says enough. Ignorance and hypocrisy.
As a teacher of high school students, I am so saddened when I see girls who "think they are more important from the waist down than the neck up," but now I see why. I also now understand why one of my students (after taking a survey to determine where her opinions placed her on the political spectrum) asked me in all sincerity, "But I got Republican... isn't that bad?"
We (and by we I mean THE MEDIA) are raising a generation of conformists and labeling it "liberation." Children aren't encouraged to think for themselves anymore... they are encouraged to listen to what Kanye West and Russel Brand say on award shows and model that behavior. They are discouraged from following their own thoughts and opinions. They are being taught that sex is no big deal, drugs are no big deal, and if we are lazy... someone will bail us out.
I'm not sure how well I will sleep tonight...
**UPDATE: I have former students on my facebook limited profile, which allows me to see their wall posts. I have had over 10 actually commend Kanye West for his LOW CLASS remarks... get my point yet? America... we're in trouble**
