NBA Finals in Dallas with the Heat: Political Correctness, Big Baggy Shorts, and Popeye's Chicken

  • Basketball pregame clips of Michael Jordan make me happy. Part of the reason i celebrate St. Patrick's  Day is-- that is The Day Mike Returned to Basketball after a brave and brief foray into baseball. Live your dreams.
  • I  like the old clips also because the men did not wear culottes, gaucho pants, baggy skirt shorts, or housin tents instead of basketball shorts.
  •  Jimmy Kimmel had a pretty funny pregame show. If it is posted later i will link HERE. Mike tyson impersonator was really good but needs to be given better material...

  • Whether it is heart and soul-- or pride and talent, the intense ending to the second game gives those of us who are under 6 feet tall, female, and past the sport prime, a surge of excitement for this third game. There was a great bar and grill in Tampa I'd like to be watching from, Putters, or better yet at a Little Joint on McKinney avenue in Dallas, where the sour cream is heated to the point of breaking down on top of the sweet red bean and jalapeno nachos...
  • The opening of the show is the metaphor for cultural factors discussed a lot in the past generation. The men are called by name, enter to great fanfare, and show their talent in the arena of powerful competition for huge rewards.
  • The women entered wearing tiny strips of cloth accentuating their bosoms and private parts, spent a lot of time bent over shaking their rumps, and made themselves visually sexually available to any and all who were so inclined.
  • Boys think and plan while the girls look seductive-
  • I was struck by the opening ads. There is a lot of pressure to curb free speech and free marketing in order to ensure the health of the population whether they want it or not.
Popeye's chicken advertised hot fried chicken, potatoes and drinks with "pure cane sugar"--when i lived in DC i was near a Popeye's, seriously addictive fried chicken if you had to have fast food. (Go to KC Stroud's for the real thing)

McDonald's Hamburgers advertised Real fruit smoothies with pictures of berries and frothiness.
 huh.

  • Another ad: Just do it. Nike showing surfers, skateboarders, waves getting ridden, buildings being jumped over. One shot of a girl YAY A GIRL um oh. she was in a white thongy bikini wiggling her butt on her sufrboard. she is like smurfette. her job is to be the girl. KM

  • Miami has taken a quick early lead.  Time to go get Food Ready. An important part of any event. Parts in order of importance:
    • the actual sporting event, like today's EXCELLENT tennis match!
    • the company  (sometimes, like with today's Excellent tennis match, Just Yourself)
    • THE FOOD  (can you say berries and cream?)
    • do not forget the NOT weeding the garden and Not cleaning the porch.
by the way, since " Lessos blog " is now posting ALL MY POSTS as if they were [HIS] - along with the posts of three or four other blogs-- i am going to start putting something like this at the end of my posts:

American Music Awards 2010, Rihanna's Opening, Diddy Dirty Money and My Cultural Education

Testicle Cleavage? Oh, if the roles were reversed...
If the goal was to allow the viewer to experience a virtual sexual encounter with Rihanna, the Opening of the American Music Awards succeeded. Although she is not a smooth or in any way extraordinary dancer, her very pretty body and her beautiful face, combined with almost no clothing and extremely vulgar (vulgar only for televised viewing--perfectly fine behavior for personal sexual intercourse with her husband ) moves simulating coitus drove the audience wild with appreciation and the tweeters professing instant love for her.

Usher won at Alicia keys' expense;
Now is Miley Cyrus'
attempt at pretending to be a grown up and a singer. My ears are begging my brain, STOP-HELP-RUN AWAY -the pets are howling to be let out.
I had a fudgesicle and feel better.

OK, P. Diddy is now --  Diddy Dirty Money.
You di'nt.
Yo, fo real?

There is a fascinating film documenting leopards with super high def up close infrared camerawork on PBS.
Here i go,

 freakin diddydirtymoney

Back. The Black Eyed Peas are Rippin it Up!
unlike during rihannas performance, the dancers during Black Eyed Peas are giving off a spontaneously relaxed frenetic fun time vibration, probably as they are NOT trying to have sex and dance at the same time. although, that is surely a good technique in the proper context...
i think the american music awards are trying to raunchitup this year.

maybe one more fudgesicle...

OK just came back to AMA and found 6 women's spread buttocks in my face.
 granted, the song is called Burlesque.
over and over, a bunch of mediocre "dancers" are just
women
in as little underwear as the media/station/censors allow; simulating sexual activity.
Pardon my boredom
and indignation as the years go by and we reap what we sow.
SHUT UP about PREteen pregnancy.
Shut up about all the diseases among our chilldren.
Shut Up! about the selfish undisciplined adults WE are Teaching to be that way.
as the generations pass, again and again,
the boys are portrayed playing football and baseball, building houses, designing cities,
and the girls are wearing pommpomms and taking clothing off.

IMAGINE
the roles reversed.
No, REALLY -- imagine it.
would there be Testicle Cleaveage? Can one "wrap" a penis in sheer tape and be sufficiently covered for the nutworks?
more on this later...

there was one blue smurf who was called
Smurfette.
every other smurf had a job or work or role worked into their name; (docsmurf) the one female was called, smurfette. Her job was to be a female....

Lady GaGa's (yawn) message: Patriarchy, Serving Males, and the Naked, Sexually Available Female

It would be a Major Yawn if there were not such nasty consequences. Have you watched TRUE ROMANCE?

lady gaga is neither
Lady GaGa is neither.
I watch the vids, i read the quotes,
i find it is the same old crap.
Become
  Drunk
    Drugged
      Beautified
         Naked
in order to be   Bought
             Picked
      Chosen
   Used
Discarded
by the
Rich
Powerful
Man.
Your girls will help you do this.
Old, tired, worn out.
