i <3 college
Is this guy serious?! The LAST thing I want my younger family members (or any family members for that matter) thinking is that I just dropped 40 grand a year to get blackout drunk and let some punkass white wannabe rapper screw around with me weekend after weekend. NOTHING about the music video or the lyrics involve anything that needs to be shared with the impressionable audience that's still soaking up Mtv videos like lapdogs. This guy [Asher Roth] is acting as if it's not widely known (by those who've already been through this period in their lives) how many people screw around during college and ultimately waste their four years spending more time trying to remember the night before than actually learning anything about education or how to be an active healthy member of society.
What really gets me is that sure, there are plenty of assholes who spend four nights a week blowing away their money on booze and drugs, but those kids don't make up the entire population of college students, and believe it or not that isn't what college is about. Don't get me wrong, I love to go out as much as the next person, but priorities begin to fall in line when you grow up and realize you're not in high school anymore. And the real icing on the cake is how vile this guy is in reference to girls - I'm not sure about anyone else but what I am sure about is that it was never cool to be that drunk naked idiot girl who let herself get so out of control that she didn't realize everyone was staring at her naked body sprawled out on the couch. That is absolutely not the message we should be sending to young women; sure! it's okay to get blackout drunk and take your clothes off, all the girls are doing it!!
Clearly there are a lot of issues with a society that accepts this kind of behavior and rewards the people who continue to exist in this world with record deals and top corporate jobs. I'm repulsed and the worst part is that this gives everyone who likes to party a bad rap, cause I am absolutely positive that we don't all act this way.

the only people who will find this entertaining are the ones who blow all of mommy and daddys money to get drunk instead of care about their studies...and i know waaaaay too many kids at QU like that. This reminds me of Animal House but in four minutes, also, Animal House was at least "classy" and funny. This is just pathetic and sad. Also, white guys need to stop trying to rap
ReplyDeleteI think you could use this for the basis for a great story! This guy is a &%$&*%# but, unfortunately, there are people who view college like this. Why not put together a story addressing the issue?
ReplyDeletebtw ... "vile" ... nice word choice!
