I’d like to know who would go to see a band whose members are openly racist and sexist. I was at a party for two of my friends and a local band was there (bday boy’s roommate’s band), and all I heard from the lead singer was n-bombs and jokes about Jewish people. He even asked the bday boy’s girlfriend to flash her tits. Who the fuck does that? Later on, the person who was apparently the drummer tried to start shit between the bday boy and his girl by saying that she was offering flashing people. I left shortly afterwords out of disgust, and can only imagine how the night ended. I can only hope that the band will get rid of the offensive members so that the rest of the band can do some great things, because they are pretty good. However, I will NEVER attend one of their shows again.

LMAO This is FUNNY! This is what makes LLWWB worth reading and great entertainment!Race based entertainment? Hmmm… Nobody does that! No way! The shock value is much too great! Ask Slip Knot. Ask Marylin Manson. *still giggling* Let’s list a bunch of comedians who love to pick on Jews… anybody? Paulie Shore, perhaps? And people don’t actually find it funny, right? Uh huh…*still laughin’*Look buddy, the best entertainment will shock you and challenge you. Lighten up. It’s ENTERTAINMENT and it sure got your attention. They should have charged you admission! Do you avoid scary movies too or do you also find those murdering bastards personally offensive?I wish I was there. Who’s the band? I wanna check ’em out. And I hope they bring flashing girl cause that’s great entertainment too.HAHAHAHA TOO FUNNY!Thanks for posting.
Kay, I hope you are commenting on Manson using shock value and not racism.This post is funny to me because a rapper could say the exact same things and it’s all cool.Remember when I say that I love rap, I just find it amusing. Everyone needs to chill a little on this race and sex thing. In 100 years it’ll be something different.
the irony that it is racist for a white band to drop N bombs, but it is a social commentary when Nas wants to name is album that same word. Being a black person, i see nothing wrong with a white band saying that shit. If it is offensive then black people need to stop using it too. I use it all the time, but it is wrong of me to pick and choose who else can say it.The meaning of the word is irrelevant in any arguement here until ALL races decide to stop using it, including black folk.
As a caveat to what I said before, Marilyn Manson has used the word twice. However, he uses it in the original form and draws no compairision between it and a race.Agreed Homie, despite the fact the word was transformed by uninformed people, it should be removed. However, I feel the use of it by rappers is an attempt to take the power away from the word. Although they really changed it to something else.Great quote (Not exactly right except for the last part):Colbert: “I will not use that word”Nas: “Thanks”Colbert: “Is it ok if I use the word backwards?”Nas: “OK?”Colbert: “REAGAN PLEASE!”
It’s the intent behind the word that matters…..so if it’s just for shock or social commentary, who cares? as long as it’s not used to be hatefull or derogatory…much like cunt. cunty cunt cunt.
Now thats a word I think we can all agree on!
Well I like to include it in any threads Kay’s been active in..as she loves it so, the cunty cunt cuntface (evil snicker)
The Bad Guy says, “As a caveat to what I said before, Marilyn Manson has used the word twice. However, he uses it in the original form and draws no comparison between it and a race.”I’d like to know how the N-Bomb can be used in any other context other than as racial and derogatory, which just happens to be the “original form”…. or am I missing something here? Enlighten me.
