next time on BET's "the shop"

oh. i guess i messed that title up. its MTV, not BET...damn, coulda fooled me.
ive been accused of being racist before, but let me just respond to that first of all by answering with seinfeld's classic "is it racist if you like the race?" question.
second, id like to mention (and shifta can corroborate if needs be, from the dorm years) that i used to watch my fair share of BET. namely 106 and park and cita's world

now to the issue at hand. who the hell watches "the shop" on mtv? im pretty sure no REAL black person watches mtv. isnt the shop the kind of show that appeals to REAL black people?
i watch the commercials, and i still see no premise, other than "these are black people. these are REAL black people who work in a barber shop. this barber shop may or may not be real. oh look, a rapper showed up to talk about black stuff" --
so either this show has no real premise, or their commercials suck. im thinking it might be a grab-bag of both, but i wont ever watch it to find out b/c their marketing is simply that bad.

ive got street cred (reference BET shows above), and this show doesnt appeal to me. so MTV, you seriously failed on this one. not too surprising since they allowed that ex-o-towner to have his own show.
i will now swallow my fist

Is it meaningful that the abbreviation for Valentine's Day would be VD?
I dunno -- just thought I'd put it out there...

...it is a bit of a disease, isn't it

And we can probably thank sex [and estrogen] for it

I'm finished


i think the real question here is: what causes more breakups? the v-day or the vd? it seems like an even-money venture, if you ask me...

Strippers are awesome
Silly titties in your face
Don't get a boner

more strippers, more lapdances

okay, so i waited tables at a restaurant for about a year. it seemed fairly common at that restaurant for servers to come in sometimes on their days off, or whenever they were not working, and sit in their buddy's section...then of course at the end of the meal they would generally tip entirely too much. fucking waiters' code or some shit. i never believed in waiter's karma, but whatever works for you...maybe the same logic that goes into tipping 50% is the same thing that landed you in the food service industry for an extended period.
but i digress...

the point of this article is strippers. so get those dolla-dolla bills ready, gents (and ladies who like silly boobies). do strippers do the same thing? do the girls who are "off" that night sometimes come up to the club to get a lapdance or some tittysuckin from their friend (read: lesbian hookup on the side)?
i submit that they do. everyone knows a majority of strippers do a lot of drugs. mostly cocaine and X, or uhh, so i hear. everyone also knows that you have to be slightly off to be a stripper. finally, everyone knows that these drugged up hussies either come into the biz li(c)king carpet, or they soon experiment.
so why wouldnt the "server" phenomenon extend to the realm of strippers? you get to rub titties or beavers with your girl while she's working, and vice-versa. her job is easier and more enjoyable, and she gets more money out of the deal. its a win-win... lets be honest, in this situation, we ALL win.

Here's one---
Are strippers even real people?
Or are they more like empty shells with nice fake tits? Simply placed on this earth for our amusement, entertainment, and pleasure. (which wouldn't make them much different from the girls I "see" on the side; shells of people with no real value beyond the aformentioned. and actually, most of them don't have the nice fake tits going on... Advantage: Strippers) I'm glad I just realized [just now] that I've been wasting my life... Great

Strippers;
Are they really as awesome as they appear to be? This is like the question about girls putting notches in their bedposts. Are these things real? Or are they just some chimeric reality that men have created (and paid good money to sustain) for themselves to take pleasure in? I'm not sure if we'll ever know -- but I think hooking up with a string of strippers is the best 'research'. Hey-- cos I believe in the cause.
