OutKast sucks. OutKast sucks because of this: \* I know you’d like to thank your shit don’t stank But lean a little bit closer See that roses really smell like poo-oo-ooo Yeah, roses really smell like poo-oo-ooo\* I was subjected to this immature and unbelievably irritating lyric the other day at the gym. There’s no excuse for such annoying songwriting. I used to like OutKast when they first became popular, but I’ve lost ALL RESPECT for them because of that line. ---

…They wrote that? No way. That sounds like something a second or third-grader would write. ---

Clearly, the only thing to do is to jam five feet of composite-wrapped wood up their asses. Or are you going to make a new hole? Both at the same time? Maybe one on each end? Don’t forget the chalk! ---

I have a couple of cheat sheets of lyrics composed by my grandson Brandon and his cousin Kyle, back when they were fascinated by doo-doo insults; I’ll be glad to forward them along! 😛 ---

That’s not nearly as bad as the ones they wrote about turning the entire Arab world into a parking lot and killing all Muslims…oh wait. They didn’t write that. ---

Outkast are best known for two things: great fuckin’ beats and a goofy-wry sense of humor. I mean, just look at some of the other lines from Roses: _I wanna see your support bra, not support you!_ _She got a hottie’s body, but her attitude is potty_ _Caroline - she’s the reason for the word ‘bitch’ I hope she’s speedin’ on the freeway tryin to to hurry up to get to some baller or singer or someone like that and try to put on her makeup in the mirror and crash, crash, crash, into a ditch! Just playin’._ It’s a catchy song with some funny lyrics that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Hardly worthy of pool cue sodomy, but I guess some people are more eager to find an occasion for that kind of thing than I. ---

Well, **Paul** , you oughtta tune in to L’il Kim some day and listen to her singing about her boyfriend’s (or more likely, boyfriends [no apostrophe]) “big-ass dick and hurricane tongue,” or “I got the magic clit…I get licked once, I get licked twice…,” or from the first South Park CD: “You think I’m pussy? I dare you to stick your dick in this!” All of this from the CD of my 17 year old neice. And people wonder why the conservative contingent in this country is fed up. :rolleyes: ---

I actually think it’s a pretty great song - the first time you hear it, you dismiss it as just a song confessing love to some girl (Caroline). The second time you hear it, well, wait a minute, she’s a total bitch, he hates her. ---

I should point out that this woman is also doing commercials for Old Navy and popping up on the likes of Regis and Kelly Rippa’s show…but not in her true guise. The real L’il Kim is kept hidden away under such circumstances. (I guess mid-morning soccer moms just aren’t “ghetto” enough to appreciate her true self.) 😉 ---

I thought South Park and explicit lyrics had already faded from the conservative spotlight? I mean, it’s time to get back to really important matters like keeping queers in their place. \*Puerto Rican papi? Used to be a deacon. Now he be suckin’ me off on the weekends. \* ---

Tongue is in cheek, and it ain’t cause of a canker sore. Though I have one of those too. ☹ I posted the point already. In very small, italic text. ---
