Chris Brown Commentary: Be Like Mike
2 years ago
Following Chris Brown’s recent rampage in New York, there are fans that still take the side of this singer, typically using three defenses:
- Hasn’t everyone made a mistake?!?
- His incident with Rihanna is two years old.
- The media should stop bringing it up.
The first argument is ridiculous. Brown did not push Rihanna, nor did he strike her just once. Have you seen the photos following the attack? Brown pummeled his then-girlfriend. He gave her a fat lip and a black eye. You can stand atop your high horses all you’d like, but, no, not all “mistakes” are equal.

2 years ago
A white UCLA girl recently posed a fairly racist YouTube rant about Asians in the library at her school. This, understandably, prompted a barrage of responses.
None better than Jimmy Wong’s acoustic song, however. “Ching Chong (It Means I Love You)” has propelled the young singer into quasi-Internet stardom.
He’s got a ways to go to catch young Rebecca Black, but Wong’s reaction to Alexandra Wallace’s rant about Asians disrupt campus life was an instant hit:
Ching Chong! Asians in the Library Song!
“The problem is these hordes of Asian people that UCLA accepts, which is fine, but if

After her school found out Munroe was writing blog posts about her students for her friends and family to enjoy, she was quickly suspended without pay.

Chelsea married the 33-year old Wall Street broker on July 31 of last year in an interfaith ceremony at Astor Courts, a historic estate nestled on 50-acres of glorious scenery overlooking New York’s Hudson River.
But just six months into the marriage
