    Just a quick one before I go off to bed, and hopefully not wake up mostly dead.

    Right before turning the TV off tonight, I for some reason stopped  channel surfing on VH1.  It was an accident, but thats not the point.  The point is that the show that was starting was an expose on sexual embarrassment in rap videos.  What?  Rappers mistreat there women?  There music has led me to believe they are saints!!!  Okay, but I digress... There was one person featured at the beginning of the show that  put together almost a solid 30 seconds of  intelligent sounding words together about how awful the whole industry is.  The whole thing was blown straight out of the water for me though because of how she was dressed.  She wasn't full blown skank, she just happened to be wearing a t-shirt that pretty clearly said "Squeeze me".

    What.  The.  Fuck?  I wish I could say I woke up in crazy world, and the radiation from some passing asteroid has warped the human brain enough that there is some reason for this kind of idiocy, but I haven't.  People are just that fucking stupid.  What kind of brain dead moron wakes up for there shoot to "uncover" the lascivious, and misogynistic nature of rap culture and the music video industry, and consciously decides to pick a shirt that labels them as nothing more than a sexual item?  For that matter, what kind of idiot does it take going into said industry to be featured in the next video for The Notorious Big Fatty-Pac, not realizing that women are treated in such a way.  This isn't the holocaust ladies.  People aren't sticking machine guns to your back, and telling you to get in the showers.  It is a choice.  An honestly really bad choice that only the dumbest, most desperate, or just plain already seriously fucked up woman would make.  Making that choice, and then complaining that you didn't know things would work out this way is just retarded.  No, I take that back.  Retards(sorry if that offends(oh, and I don't care if any of my other previous statements offend, because I hate stupid people, and I really don't think retarded people are stupid)), generally have a better sense of self preservation than what this would allow for.

    Wearing a shirt, or pants for that matter that say "Squeeze me", or "Flirt", or whatever the currently popular whorish self abusing statement dujour is, and then complaining about the attention that it illicit is moronic.  If you wear nothing but a thong in a rap video, and you get yourself propositioned by someone there,  or wear a pair of pants that say "Easy access", and have a brain dead loser ask you for some sexual act, remember that you have a fair amount of responsibility in the matter.  Look towards changing your own brain dead behavior before you look to others.  If there are any idiots out there that happen to come across this blog, and decide to post hate mail (probably not a problem given my fairly limited group of readers, but hey, you never know) think about this for a while: If someonre went to a prison filled to the walls with killers, rapists, and just generally truly bad people with little to no redeeming qualities, and just beat on a whole group of them with a broom stick endlessly, would you say that the person who beat them was not responsible for getting killed by these people (or hurt very badly), or would you say that there were clear indicators of what would most likely happen and the person chose to ignore them.  Thats an extreme example, but  it all boils down to the same things.  Intelligence, and survival instinct.  Now matter how stupid any given person acts, we all have it in varying degrees, so why not use it.

    Oh, and guys need to ease up off the whole sex pump thing.  I won't go any further than that, since I'm sure that a .023459 second search on Google will turn up plenty of reading, plus it would come off as a little bit disingenuous after ranting like I just did.
