No vent today. Just something that made me laugh. A few weeks ago in South Georgia, the radio stations started to play Britney Spear's "If You Seek Amy." They played the song with no edits, at least so far as the title of the song and the chorus were concerned. I don't know if the DJ's and the radio stations don't quite get that the song has nothing to do with some chic named Amy or if they just ran the song by the FCC and the FCC gave them a thumb's up. Either way, I was surprised that the song, which I find funny in itself--it reminds of this poem that this guy in high school got the clueless English department to publish in the school's literary magazine that spelled out a similar sentiment when you read the first letter of every line--got any airplay in that part of the state at all.Now here I am today, driving along in my car, in the suburbs of Atlanta, a town that I'm sure considers itself much more progressive and liberal than any town in South Georgia, and I hear the same song, only it went something like this:
"But all the girls and all the boys are begging to ha ha, hee hee."
Luckily my fountain drink from the QT was too watered down to drink. Otherwise, I might have had Cherry Coke in my mouth and spewed it all over the Redneck Mobile's windshield. Yes, all the girls and all the boys who were begging to ha ha and hee hee had me ha ha and hee heeing as well, at least for a few seconds anyway. Then I turned the station.
Seriously, Atlanta, loosen up. Better yet, give Amy a call. She might be able to help you in that department.
