'Jena 6' Protest Day!!!

I've been out of the loop for a bit so I haven't posted about the "Jena 6' case that is taking America by storm.

For the backgroud of the case click here.

Wikipedia also has good information on the case here.

Today is the day that we all pull together and wear black to support! In Louisiana, protesters closed down streets to demonstrate for the injustice that has been done in this case. Apparently David Bowie has also gotten involved by offering 10, 000 to the Jena 6 defense fund.

If we stand for nothing we fall for everything. Support this cause people!

New Music Yall

It seems that Jay-Z's roomate *Larry Johnson* the Kansas City Running back is recording a controversial Rap song one week before getting re-signed. Apparently the song has some disses towards the team and a couple of others.

Weekly Rant

Who died and made Rosie O'Donnell the judge of todays society!?

Apparently Rosie O'Donnell thought it would be cute to rag on American Idol yesterday on The View. Rosie apparently said that its sad that America takes Simons comments and making fun of people as entertainment.

UH HELLOOOOO!? Who just came off of a 3 week publicity stunt making fun of Donald Trump? Rosie is a comedian for God's sake!.. She thrives off of making lewd comments about celebrities and politicians.

Here is a quote from the show:“Isn’t that what America thinks is entertainment?” O’Donnell asked. “To make fun of someone’s physical appearance and then when they leave the room laugh hysterically at them – three millionaires, one probably intoxicated …”

My response is Rosie get a damn grip! The people who go on Americna idol know exactly what they are in for. Speaking of the quote unquote 'Bush Baby" as Simon put it he could not sing to save his life. Yes, we would all like to think the world is nice and fuzzy and looks dont matter but welcome to the real world. How dare you go on a show about finding the next "Big Superstar" and not be able to sing a note in tune?

That's my rant for the week!

American Idol Watch

I am going to create a special section devoted to all you idol fans and those who just watch it in the beginning for jokes.
Last nights episode was funny (there have been better years) but nonetheless I lol'ed quite a few time. I am really starting the think that most people take this show for the joke. I swore the cowboy from last night couldve sang.. boy was I wrong!!.. Stay tuned tonight!
