The Imus Storm

Imus... Who'd have thought
such an old shock jock could bring down
this shitstorm?
He called the women of a college basketball team
"nappy headed hos"
and now MSNBC has pulled a Donald Trump on him:
YOU'RE FIRED!
Personally,
I can understand the outcome but only because
Imus was using the MSNBC forum,
which is perhaps like using the New York Times -
kinda official and authoritative and wrong.
But
the discussion in the media storm is wild,
like Jesus has saved us and we now see the light
and we will sin no more.
No where.
Not in rap music,
not on TV,
not on videos,
not on comedy stages,
No where!
It's bigger than race.
They are talking about 'misogyny'
and this term seems to include all sexy fun
except perhaps marital coitus,
and even this only spoken in the most respectful terms.
Maybe the restaurant Hooters is misogynistic?
NOOOOOO!
We are not children and are made of rawer stuff.
A world without any macho sexy entertainment would be
dull as church.
Well,
Monk is well into his declining years,
and in the worst case scenario,
I could live with such a filtered, child-proof America.
There may be enough stuff to keep me.
I just got "Naked Vengeance" last week,
though I had to get it used
for the times are a'changing.
Maybe
all this media talk is just the passion
of the moment,
overdone like my worries.
Respect and equality are vitally important, but
so is fun,
especially nasty sexy fun,
which is rarely poltically correct
when it's well done.
