First Rule of Dance Club...Don't Rip on the Choreographers

AITOOW finds it a little disingenuous when the judges on SYTYCD gush over every choreographer on the show? I know it's hard to criticize your colleagues (and probably more respected professionals in the field than you) but, come on, some of the routines suck and the dancers get voted off because of it. BTW was that jump into Joshua's extended forearms sick or what?

First Rule of Breakfast Club is... No Darkies

AITOOW wonders what is going on in that JC Penney/Breakfast Club commercial? There are black kids and then they disappear. They appear and then disappear. What is going on? Did it shoot without the black kids (true to the original) and then they added some scenes later to appease someone? Or did they decide to edit out most of the scenes with black kids because it was at odds with the parody? Either way, where is the requisite turmoil that these things engender?

U F(uck) O(ff)

AITOOW wonders why everyone assumes ET will be friendly if he's out there. What from our own inter-species interaction makes us think that they will be anything but intolerant? You shouldn't cheer news of life in other solar systems, you should shake.

That Speech on Polyester was so Organic

AITOOW understands that "organic" is not a perfect replacement for "natural"? Fine if you use it to describe plants. Not fine if you use it to describe movement, character, aptitude, almost everything else.

Part 2

AITOOW thinks they are seeing a return of the part? The hair part that is.

Can You Hear Me Now?

AITOOW can read between the lines over these statistics that claim black women are ahead of the curve in using technology? It says 36% use cell phone more tha 3 hours a day (7% for non black women). First I have to ask if this is a good thing or does it simple indicate that they waste time and money. I say it's because they are single parents and have to work or unemployed with nothing to do. 8% use Ipods more than 3 hours a day versus 1%. Come on. This is cultural. They have to have music. Once again I'm not sure if this is a complimentary stat. 42% spent $100-$499 on a phone versus 26%. This just screams poor financial acumen and ostentation. Once again - a compliment? 21% order products over phone versus 8% of others. This is a comendable offshoot over familiarity with their phone. But is consumerism a positive quality. Nice try at creating black/female esteem though. Some curves you don't want to be ahead of.

David Letter(wo)man

AITOOW sees this no-talent transmogrifying into a little old lady since he (allegedly) produced Harry? Hee hee. He is anti-gun (evinced by last night's criticism of a toy gun). He is anti-war (evinced by scores of direct proclamations). He is anti-Conservative (evinced by his Great Moments in Presidential Speeches). The guy is your classic rust belt/limo lib. He was always weird. But, now he seems afraid of his shadow. I suggest they switch his hormone therapy from estrogen to testosterone. It's even all the more infuriating because he wrapped himself in the flag after 9/11. I guess the shock of it revealed his true character (cowering shemale). You've been 100% secure since then Davida. How about a little gratitude? Do we need to get Jack Nicholson down there to give you they "behind the wall I supply" speech?
