Television: America Being Dumbed Down by Booty Patrol

"Hey, mom! Watch this!" Ewee, daughter number three said as she began to shake her butt, then her thighs. After about thirty seconds, she did what was called a drop and roll. She was about fifteen then.

My face went warm, and out of sheer embarrassment I shifted my gaze elsewhere. "Would you stop!"

"Oh mom! You're so gay."

She was also the child at around nine who announced at the dinner table, "When I grow up I want to be a poll a dancer."

This is the serious truth, folks. I thought I was going to choke on my food along with all the rest of her sisters.

Now remember, I was a single mom of five daughters.

Whether I knew it or not then, my house was definitely under attack.  And this spanned out from 1998 to 2008. My girls watched plenty of television and listened to a lot of music while I was busy working 7 days a week. Some things I knew about and other things I hadn't a clue. I was even sucked into this stuff just as much as they were and shook my booty plenty with them.

So is Booty Patrol here to keep us occupied from what is really happening in our country?

I mean the biggest booty I know of right now is Kim Kardashians. And back in November, that thang was talked about so much that I bet peeps didn't realize that month commemorated the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and that Phil Hughes, the cricket player who was a left-handed batsman died. I bet y'll missed out on the European Spacecraft Rosetta landing on a comet all because of her gi-normous, greasy BOOTY.

And it isn't just her booty sticking out either. Jennifer Lopez has a pretty sleazy music vid all about her and someone else's booty.

 

So why are we seeing so much smut these days? Was there a meticulous long-term agenda to dumb down the population in America? Could be.

 

Back in 1933, the Humanist Manifesto outlined a game plan for you and me.  They've been busy creating a global humanist government while we've been busy checking out booties and God knows what else.

 

In 1963, the Honorable A.S, Herlong, Jr. of Florida in the House of Representatives outlined the goals of the Communist party. His remarks can be found in the Congressional record- Appendix pp A 34-35, January 10, 1963.

 

Paul McGuire, published a book in 2005, Are You Ready? In it he paraphrased some of these outstanding folks' plans. Here, I will share only one.

 

3. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and T.V.

 

So are we being distracted and dumbed-down? 

 

 

What do y'll think?

 

Well, I think God help us, we're in BIG TROUBLE! Especially if we're finding booties euphoric.

 

Hope everyone has a great week!

 

Hugs and chocolate, all!

Pot Roast, Apple Pie, Liverwurst and Mayonnaise Sandwiches

Good morning all! Before I go further with this post today I thought I’d tell you all I’ll be posting here the first and third Friday of every month for now. I need to focus on family stuff and my writing. Secondhand Shoes will be out this year. As of today, I’ve got 77 more pages to pick through before I send it to a friend for editing. Okay. Enough about that stuff onto the real purpose of my blog today. MOTHER-IN-LAWS.

If you’ve been married more than once, you can end up with some real winners. They can be the most evil peeps on planet earth, and I haven’t got a clue why. My first mother-in-law---we’ll focus mainly on her---was SPECIAL. So SPECIAL she caused all kinds of crap. But I’ll only bore you with one instance and it will give you the entire picture of what I dealt with.

Mother-in-law: My son’s favorite foods are liverwurst and mayonnaise sandwiches. Pot roast and apple pie.

Me: Okay. ***I jotted her information down***

Mother-in-law: He likes liverwurst and mayonnaise sandwiches everyday for lunch. And he likes his pot roast dinner served to him every Sunday. Make sure you make him an apple pie every week. He likes a piece every night before he goes to bed.

Me: ***I take these instructions to heart***

So for weeks I make him the foods I was told were his favorite. I wanted to be the best little wife ever.

Husband: Why do you make me liverwurst and mayonnaise sandwiches everyday? I hate liverwurst. And I hate mayonnaise more.

Me: Oh.

Husband: And I can’t stand pot roast. It’s too dry for my liking.

Me: Oh. ***now I’m really confused***

Husband: And can’t you bake something else besides apple pie like chocolate cake? Apple pie is boring.

Me: Oh. ***my cheeks went hot***

Husband: Whatever gave you the idea I liked any of these?

Me: Your mom. She told me they were your favorite foods.

Husband: She must have me mixed up with my brother or something.

Me: ***How can you mix up your sons? She was so specific?****

But this was also the same woman who thought spousal abuse was okay. Need I say more?

And before I leave, I’d like to share some clips from some of my favorite creepy mother-in-law movies. They inspired me to create Edith Butz, Max’s mother, and Lila’s mother-in-law.

Jessica Lang played the perfect psycho mother-in-law, in the 1989 movie, Hush. Here’s the trailer.

Oh and how about Jane Fonda in Monster-In-Law?

Anyone else have any scary mother-in-law stories to tell?
