I think protests are a waste of time. I mean, I understand why some people feel compelled to get out to make themselves feel like their making a difference, but essentially the powers that be will prevail because they control the airwaves. Look at the WTO Ministerial Protests of 1999 and the people who tried to stop globalization. Here's a quote I thought was interesting: "If resistant culture has learned anything over the past 150 years, it’s that “the people united” is a falsehood; this concept only constructs new exclusionist platforms by creating bureaucratic monoliths and semiotic regimes that cannot represent or act on behalf of the diverse desires and needs of individuals within complex and hybridizing social segments."

Sampling is not uncommon within the rap/hip hop genre. If that was not the intention in that song, then it's just sad.

I remember her visit to our high school. Oh, you can imagine the moans and groans of the pubescent boys who were forced to listen to an elderly woman talk about 'dirty things.' I've never seen her tv show, but I've heard enough people singing her praise. She's had a good run. Hope she enjoys her retirement and looks forward to many more years of sexual escapades.
