Rappers and Bones

Rappers are one of my least favourite kinds of people when it comes to the media; they portray themselves as gangsters, pimps and man-whores, and what's worse is that they are made to seem cool because of this! They, and the people who fund them, are giving the idea to young people (i.e. anyone under my age of 21) that being a criminal is cool as long as you're rich.

This is wrong; being a criminal is cool as long as you are intelligent about it! The criminals which are actually cool are the ones that don't just commit crimes to get money, girls and cars; The Joker, Lex Luthor, Batman, Kingpin, Magneto, John Travolta and Halle Berry in Swordfish, Jigsaw, Prince Arthas and Kerrigan.

Kids, I know you're listening. If you want to find cool criminals/villains then you should turn to geekery!

On a related note, I'd have a lot less of a problem with rappers if more of them were like Timbaland. Bless him, he seems to have fun in everything he does and cannot suppress what seems to be a bubbly and joyful personality. If you seem him in his, Justin Timberlake's and Nelly Furtado's videos then you'll see that he just can't help but have fun. That's a decent role model, I say, if children cannot get on board with geekery.

This bring me along to another media constant; incredibly thin women. I hate really thin women; I have a bit of an issue with the internals of the human body anyway but, putting that aside, women under a certain size just aren't attractive. I do not want to see all the bones on a woman's back, espescially not every ten second on television!

It's not attractive. To those kids who haven't left already after my villain tirade I say DO NOT think that you need to be a size 4 to be sexy. It is not attractive to have the same size body at 20 that you had at 12! Eat, for the love of Cthulhu, eat!

I'm honestly beginning to think that there are a few women and a couple of sadistic men at the top of the advertising industry that are both forcing models to starve themselves and making women and young girls feel terrible about their body shapes.

Now, I don't want to be hypocritical here; if you feel comfortable in a size 6 body, then whip-crack away. I just don't think that the majority of women on adverts should be less than a size 12, mostly because it makes most women feel terrible and partially because seeing a woman's shoulder blades and ribs every twenty seconds is horrible.

Join me again next time kids!
