I was flipping through the channels the other day and stumbled upon this character.

wtf? a hip hop version of barney the dinosaur is now clouding the minds of this country's future. hopefully, I'll be dead when these youngsters are running things.

I was thinking of a better name than hiphop harry. How's whigger the pooh sound?

[RadioFan]

Shit, that's nothing.

The end is indeed near. Blades of Glory? You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Another shining example of how intelligent the American public is these days.

Holy.

Fucking.

Shit.


If I see hip hop harry, I will fucking fight him.



Yep, its over.



RF, plenty of dumbfucks have spent a shitload on many worse movies than that over the years (Titanic, DaVinci Code, Meet the Fockers and I believe Independace Day just to name a few) and Will Ferrells dumb ass seems to have a cult following of sorts, so that doesnt surprise me.


Hip Hop Harry truly signals the end, dawg.



RACK the parents who beat the hip hop/rap right out of thier kids from the outset.

the parents

Thing is, no doubt a majority of "parents" who pay good money to see "Blades of Glory" wouldn't think twice about buying a plethora of "hiphop harry" shit for their kids.

That is the truely scary part, my friend.

Todd, try actually contributing by offing yourself, for once.

Fuck it. I tapped out a year ago.

You didn't have a "big night out," away from The Baby with horsey to see Blades of Glory, did you?

If not, odds are you're partially safe, bro.

Now we've got alarmists of a different stripe sounding off in this thread. I hate hiphop as much as the next old guy, but the end of the world? C'mon, get over yourselves. I'm quite sure my parents said the same thing about the rock I listened to. Of course, they were wrong, just like you'll be.

Seeing how I die a little every day when my son wants to watch The Wiggles, Higglytown Heros, Fuckin Doodlebops and so on, what's one more clump of unwatchable tripe spilling though my living room anyway?

I can empathize, as I'm going through the same thing right now with my daughter. The silver lining in this cloud is that they grow out of it, eventually.

I went through the same thing with my son when he was younger. Finally, much to my delight, he's starting now to take an interest in sports.

Assuming she isn't killed by some ni...gger while "keepin it rill."

I don't think watching Higglytown Heroes or Doodlebops is putting her in much danger of a drive-by shooting or the like.

Word.

I was driving with my OL and 5 y/o last night in the car and had the iPod plugged into the car stereo.

Me: David, what do you want to hear?
David: Ozzy!
Me: *sniff*...so proud.

[Rootbeer]

Good work, bonehead.

I'm glad I didn't have you for a father, or that my father wasn't you (i.e., imposed his musical taste on me). If that had been the case, I would've been the nerd who listened to Frank Sinatra and Perry Como while everyone else listened to Led Zeppelin and Rush.

Everytime I'm tempted to push my own musical tastes on my kid, I think of that.

Uh, less pushing my musical tastes on my kid. I just thought it was cool that he asked for Ozzy, who I like quite a bit.

He generally likes to listen to "Octane" on Sirius (at age five ), which is harder music than I like. Sometimes I flip it there for him, unless they're playing some band that's lobbing f-bombs left and right.

My old man did his damndest to force his musical tastes on my sisters and I, and thankfully, I'm my own person or all I'd listen to would be Joan Baez, Roger Miller and the Beach Boys.

I swear, if I hear "...trailers for sale or rent, rooms to rent for fifty cents...no phone no pool no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes..." one more FUCKING time...!!! AAAAUUUGGGHHH!! AUUUGGGGGHHH!!!

There's plenty of hip-hop songs my kid likes where that's a problem. Fortunately, those are easy to identify. Sometimes, though, you have to listen to these songs from a kid's perspective rather than from your own. My son told me he got in trouble at school for singing "I'm in love with a stripper" -- pretty tame fare by my standards, but a bit too risque for an 8-year-old.

Fortunately, my kid recognizes, at least on some level, that I don't like the same music he does, and he appreciates the fact that I sometimes let him listen to it. There was this one rap song he used to like, until I commented that it sounded like Carlton from "Fresh Prince" trying to rap (he watches reruns on Nick at Nite sometimes). He listened to it and then agreed with me. Now he laughs whenever he hears that song.

I did the colouring-in page on the Hip-Hop Harry website. When I used red instead of blue, I got shot.
