Ideal role models?

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday said that tennis star Sania Mirza and master batsman Sachin Tendulkar were ideal role models for kids. - Taken from Hindustantimes.com

I say: That's nice. Do you get it kids? You've got to become capable sportspersons and then ditch improving in your sport and try to do as many advertisements as possible. Even if you're only advertising biscuits.

On a lighter note....

Brave Uncle - Jokesgallery


One day at the end of class little Billy's teacher has the class go home and think of a story and then conclude the moral of that story. The following day the teacher asks for the first volunteer to tell a story.

Suzy said, "Sunday we load the chicken eggs on the truck and drive into town to sell them at the market. Well, one Sunday we hit a big bump and all the eggs flew out of the basket and onto the road." The teacher asks for the moral of the story. Suzy replies, "Don't keep all your eggs in one basket."

Next is little Lucy. "Well, my dad owns a farm too and every weekend we take the chicken eggs and put them in the incubator. Last weekend only 8 of the 12 eggs hatched." The teacher asks for the moral of the story. Lucy replies "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched."

Last is little Billy. "My uncle Ted fought in the Vietnam war; his plane was shot down over enemy territory. He jumped out before it crashed with only a case of beer, a machine gun and a machete. On the way down he drank the case of beer. Unfortunately, he landed right in the middle of 100 Vietnamese soldiers.

He shot 70 with his machine gun but ran out of bullets, so he pulled out his machete and killed 20 more. The blade on his machete broke, so he killed the last ten with his bare hands". The teacher looks in shock at Billy and asks if there is possibly any moral to his story. Billy replies, "Don't mess with uncle Ted when he's been drinking."

Song of our time - The irony and hypocrisy

I'm going to be bringing forth very nefarious morals current songs are replete with. We often discuss the negative impacts of the mass media but leave out the very thing that stares us in the face. To bring in irony however, we'll look at the female aspect of it.

Fergie - London Bridge

All my girls get down on the floor,
Back to back, drop it down real low.
I’m such a lady, but I’m dancing like a ho,
‘Cause you know
I don’t give a f***, so here we go!

The Pussycat Dolls Featuring Big Snoop Dogg - Buttons

I don't even want to put the lyrics here. The song is that sick. Feel free to contaminate yourself by reading the lyrics at http://www.completealbumlyrics.com/lyric/128879/The+Pussycat+Dolls+Featuring+Big+Snoop+Dogg+-+Buttons.html

Ashlee Simpson - La la


You make me wanna la lain the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up
I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
You can meet me on an airplane
Or in the back of the bus
You can throw me like a boom-a-rang
I'll come back and beat you up

So basically, if i was a brainless git, all the entertainment i wold get from the above songs would teach me that women are sex toys and have no dignity whatsoever. In fact, they love being used and treated like an object. What joy do people get listening to such sick fantasies? Oh pardon me...they are not fantasies, its a projection of what really happens in certain developed nations. Such role models don't you think? Someone youth who listen to these songs can really look up to? The singers? Actually, i think what they're trying to say is that they're only good for one thing. And i'm pretty sure its true.

To provide a stark contrast ...presenting a feminist group.

Harnessing the power of the Internet, Feminist.com serves girls and women, and the people and organizations working to empower and sustain them. Feminist.com provides free and easy access to quality information related to issues impacting girls and women, and helps connect them to the many useful and varied organizations serving their needs across the country and throughout the world. As a library, a promoter of activism, a networking engine, and an Internet home for women worldwide, Feminist.com advances women-friendly organizations, increases civic involvement, promotes self-sufficiency, spiritual health and general wellness, and works for equality, justice, and safety for all girls and women.


I'm not really much of a feminist but i don't really think that the Western media, or rather, Hollywood is doing much for the 'safety' and etc of girls and women? Especially when it is bent on portraying them as disposable objects to satisfy desire. I'm sure American girls are feeling so much safer. Whadya think Fergie?

The following is one of the worst hypocritical 'group' i've seen...nah, heard.

I've just put the lyrics of two of their songs. I'm hoping you'll understand the irony behind it. If you don't please stop reading my blog. Its full of irony. We are..of course, assuming that someone who sings something believes in it.



Black Eyed Peas - My Humps

What you gon do with all that junk
All tha
t junk inside that trunk
Ima get get get get you drunk
Get you love drunk off my hump.
What u gon do with all that a**
All that a** inside them jeans
Im a make make make make you scream
Make u scream make you scream.


Black Eyed Peas - Where is the love?

But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all


So, the same 'eminent' people who can rap/sing about social problems to create awareness are also so very proficient in rapping/singing about the female private parts.

There you have it folks...the songs of our time. Plunge into an oceanful of loose morals, superficiality and utter nonsense.

Broadened Sayings - Only the Misses

“I would say I’m a great shower singer. And I mean what I’m singing…it’s true to my range, and it’s just me being me.- Rapper Sean Combs

Miss: We’d like it very much if you remained in the shower…

“I just want to see Oprah debate Condoleezza…I think that’s pay per view” – Actor Robin Williams

Miss: Quite intriguing. But you have money to spend on all the wrong things.


“Sleeping is one of the most amazing things ever. I can go 14 or 15 straight hours with no breaks. Eight is so yesterday” – Actress Eva Mendes

Miss: I would like to apologize to her on the behalf of the majority of us unenlightened folk who continue to feel that we have better things to do than to be dead to the world for half a day.

“They are little. Tiny little birds…when it’s windy and they go on the school bus, I am afraid the wind will blow them away.” – Grey’s Anatomy star Justin Chambers on his eight-year-old twin girls.

Miss: Oh boy…this guy’s taking paranoia to a whole new level.
