It has been stated that television is the downfall of American civilization. Television is an inherently passive activity and basically it’s been posited that it pretty much takes away any need to do any of your own independent thinking. So being an intellectual and a scholar (I used the word posit!) I decided to put this to the test. So it was that I sat down for a morning of the most mindless entertainment-music videos. What I discovered was that music videos are some of the most thought provoking material in the world. My mind was virtually a flurry of observations and questions.
- How is it that Nelly cuts himself shaving in the same place on his left cheek every single day? He should get a Mach 3.
- Jennifer Love Hewitt is not a good enough actress to act in her new music video “Barenaked”. She is not an actress turned musician. She is a suck turned suck.
- It seems to me that if you name yourself after your hairstyle, you shouldn’t be allowed to change it all the time. For now I will refer to Pink as “Basically All Black With One Pink Streak.”
- Mary J. Blige seems to have taken a pretty strong stance against Drama. Hurrah! More money for those impoverished high school athletic departments!
- I could make a CD of me and three other guys vomiting and if Ja Rule growled in the background the video would go to #1 on TRL.
- The new Weezer video “Keep Fishin’” is the best thing that’s happened. Ever.
