Myk Murphy:
hi queenie. your statement is honest, but slightly flawed. while some have a nearly legitimate desire to shock and irritate the "masses" because of a frustration with puritanism, it is overwhelmed by a mass of corporate sponsors looking to further dilute our culture by pandering to the most base among us. the bud light ads during the super bowl pandered just as much as janet's tit. and it wasn't really janet or justin up there; it was just a couple of stooges for viacom who want to sell CDs and clothes and posters and other crap. there was nothing artistic or challenging up on that stage. rather, it was just another chance to sell us shit we neither want nor need.

i think that decoy and heruka's outrage is different from that of a holy roller. our boys in the lounge are not troubled by the flesh. they are troubled by the insult to intelligence.

Queenie:
Can we just admit that the entire superbowl experience, from pre-game show to post-game show, was just one 5 hour long advertisement thinly veiled as sports or entertainment? See also any award shows, see also MTV, see also pretty much everything everywhere.

by pandering to the moist base among us?

Queenie:
I guess my point is... the whole superbowl packaging is an insult to intelligence. But it took a boob to outrage these guys. you should have been outraged long, long ago.

Queenie:
know when you're being pandered to and reject it. That's the lesson for our children! sadly, sidney is a long way from grasping it.

The Superbowl "package" sucked, that's the point. Thank God it was one of the best played NFL games ever. I need a pebble to throw....

Myk Murphy:
yeah, queenie forgets that sports fans look past the crap to watch the game. people who tune in "for the commercials and halftime show" should go find something nice at the video store.

good morning. this morning we have an ice storm, as well as some lovely ricin in some office buildings.

Froupie:
the brazil nuts will give me my daily dose of selenium while the avocado will lower my bad cholesterol and mop up my ageing free radicals. the prawns are along for the ride.

alt vacado:

(Tue Feb 3, 2004 - 8:25:00 am)

Froupie:

Myk Murphy:

(Tue Feb 3, 2004 - 9:23:39 am)

Froupie:

Froupie:
i was reading a funny interview with jon, and he mentioned his keyboard playing past when he lived up in manchester. he said he gave up music because "the singer wore a giant papier mache head and i kept getting robbed". so he moved down to london and started writing for the guardian. fantastic.

Hey Froupie, that band from the 80s Kaijagoogoo - are they all gay or what? I saw their reunion thing on VH1 and they seem gay. That dude Lahmal is anyway. I don't get it, I remember them having one hit. They were talking like they changed the face of music. Hilarious.

Myk Murphy:
when bela came to play down here, her hair was only moderately shiny. giggle.

They broke up because of something stupid, and the bass player was saying "who knows what could have happened if we stayed together". I'll tell you what would have happened.
