Oh my, you again? Let's begin...

***But don't accuse this film of being hollow and vapid until you've seen it.***

Hollow and vapid? I never said that. In fact, I heard the movie was actually pretty good and Eminem did a good job. Yay! He's still a punk. He's the one who sang about killing a pregnant woman, right? Sweet.

***Eminem sells about five million copies of everything he touches. What are they going to do - ignore it?***

This clown should've been ignored long before this movie came out. Do you want your ELEVEN year old daughter idolizing this guy? If this is OK with you, I wish you and your daughter the best of luck.

***Haven't you been reading the chapters from Outrageous? While Eminem sings "Bitch I will kill. You don't want to fuck with me", Baerwald writes of standing naked with twin samurai swords, ready to decapitate.***

I fail to see the comparison; M&M sings (is that really "singing" by the way?) about killing his bitch if she fucks with him. (Very nice.) DB's situation was self defense. One man with two swords waiting for two men with guns. Very different situations, in my opinion.

All I'm saying is I'm tired of people like Eminem succeeding while others who are FAR more talented and who actually do some good in this world are largely ignored. Encouraging people like Eminem and Ludicris and Anna Nicole Smith is a sad commentary on the direction of our society. But if it's ok with you and your family then that's your choice.

I don't have kids. I've chosen not to. It's an ugly world out there and it's getting uglier thanks to one of your favorite writers. I just wonder how many other parents on this board feel about this. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just getting old. Maybe I just have to start getting used to this brave new world being rammed down my throat.
