Okay, you see that up there, that's a true story and frankly I'm a bit at odds with how I'm supposed to react. Outrage is up there as is disbelief, but we as a people can get a bit out of hand and yet the fact that she is 14 is really getting to me. You see I've seen that video and she was being dragged around, pelted left and right like a rag doll in a dogs mouth and dread at one point it looked as though she was injured. She had no control and after the "dance" misterman Akon left her on the stage and then proceeded to double team her with another of his entourage. Dread......it really was unpleasant to watch. 

Now the question is what she was doing there in the first place as she was underage but we all know age does not stop anyone if they are determined to go somewhere. So she dressed up and got on stage under the impression that if she won the contest she'd win a trip to Africa, now there is where her age comes in, in no day and age should you believe that an impromptu wining contest will give you a chance to go to Africa...I mean really, how dense.

Another thing is that so-called dance routine just looked like simulated sex and nothing else, it was for shock value and if you value yourself as a person then you shouldn't debase yourself like that at all, so that pissed me off. 

Of course misterman has left the country by now and so it remains only for the girl to receive the fall-out and flack from everyone. Blame is ranging from poor parent management to lewd displays by artistes who should be banned. I mean really the blame falls on both parties but while misterman can leave the girl has to ride the train of shock left in his wake. At 14 she is marked till she leaves Secondary School, she'll forever be that girl who got humped on by Akon at Zen.

Mind you this will be old news soon except for rehashments at BBQs, River Limes and all such events. But then again if it continues to escalate then we may  see legislation which is only conveniently upheld and that is the real tragedy.

So what's the end point of all of this? That's exactly it.... what is the point of all of this rant is bascially the fact that something happened....there is outrage now....but in a matter of days it will blow over in favour of something new and the only people who will remember it will be those who will tease her at school. 

Just like that Sir Elton John thing where his coming might make Tobagonians  *gasp* GAY!  <--- Such Bull Shit...I mean really.

Some people really aren't all there in the brains department. You cannot just become gay, you either are or you aren't or you experienced significant trauma to cause you to change to the preference that you deem safe. 

But that is an entirely different rant.

*steps off soap-box*
