Oh come on... you guys are such snobs.  I mean, get off it.  You're telling me you can't enjoy a good Jessica Simpson tune every once in a while?  I think she's got Suzanne Vega-like potential.

Hip hop's the poetry of the streets. and Britney is a brilliant songwriter.

This is extremely dry humor.

VH1 has also gone down the shitter.  The other day they had a bling-off between Kerry and Bush.

What the hell is a bling-off?

there are at least four layers of sarcasm here.

Hip hop's the poetry of the streets.

Oh, you culture-starved low-life, you simple-minded slum-cretin. I pity you. This, sir, is the poetry of the streets:

ARS POETICA

Archibald MacLeish

A poem should be palpable and mute
As a globed fruit,

Dumb
As old medallions to the thumb,

Silent as the sleeve-worn stone
Of casement ledges where the moss has grown--

A poem should be wordless
As the flight of birds.

A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs,

Leaving, as the moon releases
Twig by twig the night-entangled trees,

Leaving, as the moon behind the winter leaves,
Memory by memory the mind--

A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs.

A poem should be equal to:
Not true.

For all the history of grief
An empty doorway and a maple leaf.

For love
The leaning grasses and two lights above the sea--

A poem should not mean
But be.[/list:u]

Three Reasons:

1) She's an enormously talented singer/songwriter.

2) She's got an IQ of 164.

3) She has very large breasts.
