It's about power. Charles Schulz said (paraphrasing) that Lucy being bossy was funny, but a boy bossing her around was not. I know, some poor henpecked guy may feel otherwise, but for the rest, it holds true.

I live in town where "You Lie" bumper stickers are a must-have car accessory. The "o" in "You" complete with Obama symbol.
And I agree, Roots acted like assclowns. In addition to the reasons in your post, hiphop's lovely relationship with women doesn't need any additional help from "conscious" rappers.

Obligatory reminder: Look up satire

In contrast, I is.

Her calling the original a camp classic was pretty slick. That's how you deflect a tricky question.

Well, them shiftless hippies ARE vegetables.

Yeah, I understand why calling anyone a bitch is problematic. The 14-year old thing was addressing exactly that. I don't usually cuss out people, so this isn't something that keeps me up at night. Was curious is all. Asshole seems to be the winner in these parts.

I have way too much time to kill so I actually listened to iTunes clips. Trust me, you do not want to listen to the whole songs. That's some next-level Guantanamo Bay shit. The lead hemorrhoid patient's voice filtered through studio magic is a wonder in its awfulness. The lyrics are the dumb rapey brother of Coldplay…

As the family's designated holiday babysitter, what I want to know is, can I drag the kids to see this?

I think Flushed Away is adequately rated. It's a mile below Were-Rabbit and older short films.

Good catch.

Good as in gender-neutral, homebwoy. A-hole is too common.
EDIT: Punctured jokular here, do carry on sir.

I think they fell off after Things Fall Apart, coincidentally the last album he was on, so my Malik B nostalgia mostly comes from that angle. You and several others will most likely disagree on that  as well, but that's just one of my many silly theories. One of these days I'll tell you how I think everything…

If your suggestion is based on water, their song dedicated to MB, I bow to your superior nerdery on both fronts.

Except Roots without Malik B is like JLA without… ah fuck it. Nerds help me here.

Fortunately I haven't had a word emergency where I had to cuss out a woman, but what's a good word? Calling a guy a bitch always warms the heart of my inner 14-year old, though.

Are you ladies as upset about the lack full frontal as some of the man-ass claimants I know?

EXTRA EXTRA: That was Apatow's stupid idea to Apatow it up.

Man Ass. One in a million shot, Doc.

That Peter Lorre dame is hott.
