It happened just last night during the opening song were a pair of the shows contestants joined to duet on Miranda Lambert song some of the following lyrics.
I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
His fist is big but my gun's bigger
He'll find out when I pull the trigger
Someone call Meghan Kelly Stat! Gun violence and thugs have invaded America's favorite show on it's favorite network - FOX
So tell me, is premeditated murder far more palatable when it's delivered in a hot-pants and heels?
Clearly you are what you sing - and it's just too bad that these two young women have decided to go the gansta route.
Just like that other thug in the news lately - Common.
Watch as Common threatens the life of a President (Bush) and dares to offer his support of the well-known America Hater - Reverend Wright.
The Fox Spokes-Pundits confab...
MacCALLUM: This certainly isn't Robert Frost or Mia Maya Angelou. When you have an opportunity to teach children about, you know, poetry, right? This is something they already know, you know what I'm saying. This is their world in many cases. They're familiar with this. Take it a step higher for them. Teach them about something that they don't know. Missed opportunity, in my opinion.
GOFF: Can I just say, from this line of reasoning, the Pope wouldn't be welcome in the White House because he's presided over one of the biggest pedophilia scandals in American history, right? From that logic ... people shouldn't be welcome that you think have presided over offensive ideas. Willie Nelson is a Kennedy Center honoree. He's been convicted of drug abuse, multiple drug possessions, multiple times.
Yeah, someone should go and ask Mia Angelou what she thinks of Common.
According to the Chicago Defender, [Angelou] said recently: "I wanted to speak about Common, who is extremely uncommon. When I first heard him, I knew he was rare. I thought, my goodness, this young man...hello. So good, so talented, well raised. When I met his mother, I understood much. I will always support him. I know that I stand on the shoulders of great men and women. And I know there are young men and women who stand upon my shoulders."
Oops... Nobody better tell Bill O'Reilly about that. Might ruin his day.
O'Reilly:This guy has sympathized with convicted cop-kilers, he also does the usual rap stuff, touting guns and other anti-social behavior.
A man like Common targets a very select audience: young, urban, mostly African-American. He is certainly entitled as an artist to rap whatever he wants to rap, but by inviting him to the White House, the President and First Lady tacitly endorse him. And when you get into areas where the man is praising convicted cop killers, you've got a major problem. [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor]
Yeah, touting guns is anti-social. That's a major problem. We shouldn't have it being promoted at the White House, or on major television network as if it could ever be listened to as ART and enjoyed as entertainment that is reflective of our broader reality, rather than simply being an instruction manual for violence.
Can't have that.
And y'know what's even worse about songs like these? When they try the blame the intended victim for what you're going to do to them - just like in the song from American Idol.
He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of
Gunpowder and lead
I would expect that law enforcement and our courts would take a fairly dim view of lying in wait and performing a premeditated murder with a shotgun - even if the intended target is an abusive bastard.
In fact, I know it does.
Of the women convicted of violent crimes, the vast majority were convicted for defending themselves or their children from abuse. In California alone there are 600 women in prison for killing their abusers in self-defense. Average prison terms are twice as long for killing husbands as for killing wives.
So this upbeat little ditty that these gals are bumping and grinding to - is really an example of what has been sending the majority of women convicted of violent crimes to prison.
I think we need to stage an intervention across the twit-verse and have an investigation by Fox News of all the violence being promoted on the FOX NETWORK before we have a wave of domestic violence cases turning into murder cases for more and more women.
Oh, wait, too late.
I guess if they sang this song at the White House, or y'know - either of these girls were BLACK or did these lyrics as a dreaded RAP SONG- then Fox News might finally notice all the disgusting violence endorsing shenanigans Fox Network has been up to lately.
