Of Mice & Stupid Girls
I was most pleasantly surprised when I chanced upon the only sensible music video I had seen for a long time on trashy MTV and Channel V. Not that I really watch them at all as they’re getting more and more semi-pornographic which really turns me off. It was Pink’s ‘Stupid Girls’ and she reflected my sentiments exactly. She's sick of the current scene too.
What with all the young girls aspiring to look and dress scantily like prostitutes these days from the images they get from the music videos. I really do not understand why any female would want to debase and degrade themselves to look like that to impress the guys. You are a thinking person, not an object. Duh! If that’s not stupid I really do not know how to call it, name it or label it. All these young (and not so young) girls had been brainwashed and wants branded attires only and their role models are celebrities like Paris Hilton and the slutty likes. Is it a proud feeling that the whole world has seen you having sex? The strays on our streets do that too!
Yes; guess what - they all wanna be the same! Mindlessly mimicking their favourite celebrities. Whatever happened to individuality and the ability to think for oneself? To be true to who we are and not what other people would be ‘impressed’ with who we think they think we are. Surely we are not what we dress and what we own right? You are defined by what brands you wear or use and the latest handphones? This is massive brain hamorrhage ...
Look at the pictures of white mice I took at the pet shop the other day. The aimless mindless but cute and pretty looking mice. All looking exactly the same. But look closer; as I did and you’ll notice that there are amongst them one or two brown colour ones. But unlike the mice we can choose to be who we are and not mindlessly following what the adverts and media are telling us. This warrants as much serious thought as John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men".
Be who you are by discovering your authentic self and be free. And (unlike George) you don't even have to kill anyone to achieve this!

there's this one stewpig girl, sat in a cafe with a group of friends. she noticed almost every eyeball fixed on her when she approached, sat down and actually asked "why is everyone looking at me?" to her friends, who seemed to share the same wonderment.
My friend who was sitting nearby nearly got her lunch back on her plate.
aihhh....the world we live in.
no wonder some of us sound like pink... ;)
But at the same time it's just like what Agus said. They dress like they want to be viewed as toys rather than people, but they get really upset if people actually treat them that way (and don't seem to understand why it happens).
Considering so many middle-aged businessmen here are pedophiles...and those fashion magazines are produced by companies run by middle aged businessmen...I can't help but wonder...

But then again, if u have assets, flaunt it..
If you dun, please keep that secret to yourself and dun expose your liabilities.
Unker can relate the incident where a I-think-I-damn-sexy auntie showed everyone her 3 layered FATS!
Pui!

yd - they're not stupid but had sadly allowed themselves to be brainwashed
robin - i don't agree that if u have it, flaunt it. that's what's wrong w this world - showing up everyone else. if u have more money, power or are smarter - u flaunt it?
That middle-aged lady is doubly stewpig! *sigh* a dumb slave to youth n dubious fashion
When r ppl gonna wise up that it's who you are INSIDE that matters. not what u wear, own or flaunt.

Maybe I should start walking around in tight jeans and a muscle shirt all the time...and stuff a cucumber in my pants. I'm sure I'd be laughed at everywhere I went (if not arrested), but at least I'd feel confident!

'modesty' is definitely an out-dated term these days!! feeling of shame could be next on the list!!
momo - i hope your owner does not share your view; he would be arrested!!
robin - remember that sometimes 'silence is golden' ;)
