Here is something that really gets me going.
I was listening to the radio on my way home from my parents the other night. Basically five minutes of radio, possibly ten because I was trying to navigate through Mother Nature’s newest gift of snow. In that short span of time, the span of time it takes me to drive maybe a mile, I heard the following:
A song about hooking up and getting drunk and all sorts of sleaze punctuated by the deejay coming on the air and poking fun at Tim Tebow for going to Las Vegas and just seeing Cirque Du Soleil rather than being a promiscuous moron.
Now I am no pure white daisy. I have had my days of good times. I have acted a fool quite publicly. Yet I am sorry, so very sorry, I may sound old and prude here but this is fucking ridiculous.
No other way to put it, no way to sugar coat it: fucking ridiculous.
First and foremost, being a drunk slut is not a good look. No matter how many songs on the radio promote you being a hussy, it isn’t cute, no one likes it, and you will probably end up not liking yourself too much either. If you are a man, being a drunk asshole is no better of a look. It may get you laid when you are twenty but by the time you are thirty five you are just a tool.
Second, it is quite alright for someone to go to an exciting city full of things to do and not get wasted drunk because OMGZ WE’RE IN VEGASSS. Grow up. Clearly twenty four year old Tim Tebow understands the concept of maturity and doesn’t feel like impregnating strangers constitutes a “fun” vacation. Oh and he is making more in a year than you nasty skanks can even imagine so basically he can live in a Cirque Du Soleil theater if he feels so inclined. Sorry that morals are so socially unacceptable because idiocy is so prevalent.
Third, I don’t feel like hearing every time I turn on the radio LEZZ DANZE AND HOOK UPPPP to a beat. Honestly. There is one night a week I watch Jersey Shore and I do enjoy that ONE NIGHT A WEEK. But I prefer to limit my intake. Please stop pushing it on me. I feel violated.
People get all bent out of shape when we talk about God yet they think its OMGZ WEIRD when a guy goes to Vegas and doesn’t get drunk. Something doesn’t make sense here. Why is it wrong for a guy not to sleep around and to go with his brother to see a show in Vegas? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT?
Listen, I like rocking out to mindless music and killing my brain cells with shallow tv shows as much as the next girl, but there comes a point where enough is enough. There is a place and time for everything. After nine pm on Bravo = place and time. Six o'clock on my local radio station, not so much.
Not only does it come down to place and time but it comes down to respecting people who choose to take what they feel is a moral high road, not make fun of them. So I hope Tebow enjoyed his trip to Vegas. I would like to go to Vegas too someday.
And you know what I plan on doing there?
Seeing a fucking Cirque Du Soleil show.
What now?
Here! Here! I completely agree with you!
