It seems like not that long ago we were without power in our home due to gale-force winds. Now an ice storm has devastated our region, leaving over 500,000 people without electricity. My home being one of them.
So we have taken refuge at my mom’s house until things return to normal. Early this morning Bean and I were the only ones up, watching CNN together. They ran this story about President Obama doing his version of Beyonce’s Single Ladies dance. As part of this news clip, they showed a snippet of Beyonce’s actual music video for the song.
Now. Maybe I am just a prude. Perhaps my moral code is extra stringent. No matter. All I can tell you is that I was embarrassed for my son to have seen that clip. This woman is in the center of a white room, wearing nothing but a black turtleneck and a pair of panties, and she is somehow both standing there AND with her legs wide open at the same time; and she is grinding and humping and thrusting in the most suggestive manner I have ever seen. The whole time singing about “if you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it.” It was porn.
And that is a music video?!? This woman is supposed to be a role model for young girls? I should hope not. I was shocked, appalled and offended. It was disgusting.
So if I am supposed to put a ring on it if I like it, what am I supposed to do if I absolutely hate it? Seems as if the people in our world today let their moral sensibilities slip more and more with every generation. What in the world will my great-grandchildren be looking at on the morning news?
