Things that must go:

Just a few things really bugging me lately that I'd love to publicly berate, ha ha.

Have you heard the Bruno Mars song Grenade? It is on the radio all the time and it makes me ill every time I hear it. Why? These 2 lines: "I'd put my hand on a blade for ya," and "I'd take a bullet right through my brain.". Make anyone else queasy? I just see this horrible image of a bloody hand in a blender. Gross.

The hypocrisy. Twice recently there have been news articles about parents that are angry that Glee stars are posing provocatively in magazines. I am in NO WAY saying that's ok, but the thing that bothers me is that parents say things like "my 8 year old watches the show with me. Now my child is all confused with these pictures. How am I supposed to explain these pictures to them?" are you kidding me? Have you SEEN Glee? I stopped watching it because it was inappropriate and I'm 25! You watch it with your 8 year-old?!? The pictures pretty much match the show. Stop letting your kids watch it!

That's all for now. Thoughts?

I don't mind Grenade so much except that he says the word "ya." I think it sounds so stupid. What song I really can't stand at all is his song "Just the Way You Are" or whatever it's called. That one makes me want to barf. And Glee, I don't watch it and I haven't figured out what the hype is about but I've heard some of the songs they've done covers for and I'd pretty much agree with you on the 8 year olds watching it. There are my thoughts :)

I'm so, some would say lame, I haven't heard/seen either of those.

Though from your post is sounds like I'm not missing out.

Just makes me think . . . What is the world coming to?
