I had planned on a thoroughly nasty polemic about yesterday's Super Bowl halftime show which featured Beyonce and her dancers masturbating while worshiping a giant phallus, inflated from below the stage by emotionally scarred children of obese, illiterate baby mamas from New Orleans' 9th Ward, but I figured I'd keep it cool and just show off this video of people in Detroit who are fighting tooth and nail to preserve the shattered remnants of Western civilization that Beyonce and her loathsome allies in the self-destructive popular culture machine have done their best to obliterate*.
Enjoy.
* - There. That wasn't so bad, was it? Fairly restrained, I'd say.
Update: Rudell Solomon and Dequindre Jenkins, shown in the video above, have an open invitation to dinner at my house any time. They're men.
That sign is just east of I75 AND 8 Mile. The area is in trouble, to say the least. Go west of I75 and the area becomes a war zone. Most of that area is urban prairie.
One point I think we need to keep in mind about Beyonce:
She was fulfilling a contract. The NFL knew exactly what they were buying when they hired her, and they got what they paid for. If the NFL didn't want what she delivered, they would have hired somebody else.
So when you rail about how horrible the show was[1], be sure to lay some fair blame on the guys who paid for it.
--- [1] Personally, I can't say how horrible it might have been, because I didn't see it. I was reading a book with my daughters at the time.
Amen, Tim. Beyonce, the NFL, the choreographer, etc., they all bear a responsibility for what's going on in Detroit, East Cleveland, NOLA's 9th Ward ...
Having said, that, Beyonce is the artist and there's no question that she has the star power to tell everyone how it's going to be. She's the majority partner in that ill-starred cabal.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. I'm going to do a little demographic research on it for a possible post later.
