CHRIS BROWN

yeah, this really upsets me...

Somewhere in prison, thugs are salivating at the thought of widening Brown's asshole....

Oh, he's a big asshole already

Interesting point, Bo Jackson o_Overdrive.

somewhere on ilx...

You know how there are things you say to your friends which, due to verbal and physical context, come across in a completely different manner than when you say them on a message board? Welcome to there, BJO.

lol o_0verdrive

yeah, my college roommate used to go through the "thugs are salivating" routine during the evening news all the time, we always had a laugh.

Chris Brown, from o to 0

Women and Girls Collective Action Network made a good point:

We hear so much of what will happen to Chris Brown’s reputation and career if these allegations are proven to be true. We hear how all Chris Brown’s sponsors and endorsements will back down, and how his entire career may go down the drain. Now we ask, what is going to happen to Rihanna? We never hear, on a well publicized scale, how this is going to affect her career. We do not even hear how she may be damaged mentally, physically, or emotionally after this incident of abuse. You would think that because she is a survivor of abuse, people would be concerned with her well-being.

As far as Rihanna goes, this is what we do know. Last summer, Rihanna had released a statement saying how she starting building her career from endorsements before she even released her hits. The LA Times recently reported that Rihanna had the reputation of representing “something very positive and in particular a strong female role model, and when she is associated with a situation like this it can have an impact.” They quoted a marketing executive as predicting that companies are likely to shun her in the future.

im pretty sure when rihanna's new album drops and she has two number one singles she won't be hurting on endorsements

still, all the more reason for her to coop w/police.

what's really fucked up that i keep forgetting is that he's 19 and she's 20.

i dont understand this paragraph

I think all that really means is that Def Jam got her a couple modelling gigs before her first album dropped and those folks are willfully misinterpreting it to mean that she makes all her money off endorsements and not records/touring.

they also must have not ever heard of marketing before if they genuinely think that companies arent banging on her agents door right now... im sympathetic to the idea that the response has unfortunately been all about vengeance on cb instead of concern for rihannas welfare (which i think is true, and pretty fucked up, and perpetuates a whole cycle of cultural violence and is probably not entirely divorced from cultural concerns about angry black men, but whatever)--but come ON.

yeah...the press is analyzing what this means for CB's career and not hers because obvious he stands to be negatively affected by it a lot more...she might be too, but not in nearly the same way.

see i took this,

something very positive and in particular a strong female role model

as being related to the gossip reporting about her being unsure as to whether she wants to cooperate/press charges since she still loves him or whatever, and how it would be perceived if she did not do those things. still a reach and a weird point to make, but yeah.

what's really fucked up that i keep forgetting is that he's 19 and she's 20

She's 21 ! Happy birthday, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rihanna

yeah...i mean honestly i feel like a lot of things are up in the air and very ambiguous right now...a little less so since that photo surfaced yesterday, but still a lot of unanswered questions and room for both parties to negotiate the road ahead either as well as possible given the situation, or in a way that just makes things worse.

xpost

she may lose some modeling gigs but she'll recoup that when she signs on as the spokesmodel for grandpa passantino's fruit-flavored girlfriend punch

dude it's kinda weird how in the last couple hours you've started a pretty contemplative ILE thread about modern humor while at the same timing coming out swinging on all these other threads with wack tired meta jokes

i'm a complex guy

grandpa passantino is a decent screen name at least

and what contains contradictions, much like david banner

this wack tired meta joke brought to you circa 2004

how is a passantino domestic abuse zing even a "meta joke"

does he beat his girlfriends through the fourth wall?

i think it's more about the wack tired part

i was using the loosened modern ilx meaning of "meta" as in anything about someone else on the board

if its tired and wack to enjoy imagining dom as

he asked rihanna how is she supposed to breathe with no air?

i'm lolling

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you think this is actually true?

If it is then I'm torn between pattern of repeated abuse depression and the spirit of forgiveness christian optimism.

(xpost) What do you mean? Have you ever read anything on the internets that wasn't true?

rihanna, i have tina turner & ronnie spector on hold
