Diva - Beyonce
More blatant MK from Beyonce's latest... sigh (wtf do people think they're looking at when they watch this?! just totally meaningless mannequins + limbs [in a car-boot, which she blows up at the end], chains, symbolic sunglass things, usual Beyonce robot depiction [2:22], etc how fucking braindead do you have to be), back in 2009 (when I'll expand this one probably). Interesting article here I'd recommend reading (wrote my take on it in the much-edited Miss Asia MCM post).

Um number one, why would someone look at some mannequins in a music video and automatically go "Beyonces a mind controlled slave!" You saying people are braindead for not associating a music video with CIA mind control experiments? You need to chill. I mean, why would someone just automatically make that leap? Its a music video. Its TV. ITS NOT REAL.
Number two, that song is kinda hot dang.
Yeah, rite, talkin about braindeads, ure one of them. Why did u bother posting? Go back to ur "hot dang", Stef, this is no place for u.
While its always worth being objective - too say something that has taken a lot of research, money, marketing, design as 'just a video' .
While I don't agree with all Pseudocultmedias observations I definitely think the blog tells one about the absolute relentless nature of these 'just popstars', 'just videos', just psychotic, vicious , degrading movies of people being tied up, murdered, killed, killed and even more killed.
neither is one allowed any freedom from it with the giant ads, the visual and auditiry noise, especially the disruptive, social 'white noise' that passes for discussion in society.
People like Beyonce promote a vacuous , superficial , deintelligising world adored , obviously, by millions, who are at present sticking the fish-hook through their lips to be reeled in, limp and jus' waiting to have someone MAKEUP their personality.
There is No 'JUST' on this planet , be it wondrous or awful.
Ketamine - big John Lilly research, extensive stuff on his experiments with it. being a 'pop' scientist [ leary style ] the big K move into norm-society.
Took a dose once , in private, most of what I could experience appeared black&white, somekind of 'droning' . Certainly not unpleasant, though near on immobile while awake. Extreme slowdown.
promoting it as a rec-drug , highly irresponsible.
No reason to take it unless very inquisitive - but if u take a good hit and leave the water running or something you'll never get there. Its so sloooooooooowwwwww
cheers
Okay to Anonymous, why are you insulting me? I am merely asking a question and expressing my opinion, if you have a problem with that you might want to log off, because this is a public forum and i will continue to express my opinions as long as this remains a public forum to discuss and debate. When you have any REAL points to make get back to me, otherwise, have a nice life. To Aferrismoon - I am well aware of the medias attempts to destroy any bit of humanity and empathy. I to find the trends in movies, advertising and music very VERY troubling. Thats one of the reasons i come to this blog. But to say that you are BRAINDEAD by not associating a mannequin in a Beyonce video to some kind of mind control experiment is being a little bit of a conspiracy theorist fundamentalist if you get my drift;) Beyonce is obviously trying to turn young american girls into whores, this much is obvious, and i think much discussion can be had on the impact of video vixens like her, as well as there male counterparts on popular culture especially youth culture. A book by Ariel Levy called Female Chauvinist Pigs touches on that a bit. On how kids, before they are even having sex or even feeling SEXUAL are dressing like sluts because well, that is what they are bombarded with constantly the media. I dont know if i could try that ketamine drug, i mean. i do coke every now and then, and i even feel some kinda way about that. I also dont really understand the significance of mentioning the drug in relation to the Beyonce video. Maybe you could explain that a little more for me:)
GREAAAAAT! Tattoo of JACKO&some pinup among others. Horrifying!

He died Dec 16th? Did the family keep this under wraps or did i miss it? Don't recall seeing this reported anywhere before now.
First of all I LOVE this blog and I agree with most of the things posted here. I do have to say, however, I kinda agree with Stef. How are people brain dead for not immediately associating the imagery in Beyonce's videos with mind control? Most people who watch Beyonce are not looking for deeper meaning, they are simply being entertained. I noticed similar comments in the Illumimusic post on Kylie Minogue. I know the person who runs this blog is just being blunt to get it through peoples heads that there is something going on in popular culture that is way more serious than just entertainment, but I suppose he could be a little more sensitive while exposing that information. If someone happened to stumble across this blog they could be turned off and disregard the information because they were basically called brain dead, lol.
EARTHA (MAE) KITT(EN) is dead on Xmas day...

Ruffalo's Memorial Service Held Without Remains
A private memorial service for Mark Ruffalo's brother Scott was held without his remains due to the ongoing police investigation surrounding his alleged homicide.
Scott Ruffalo, 39, was found outside his home in Beverly Hills with a gunshot wound to the head at the beginning of December.
He died in hospital a week later after he was taken off life support.
Los Angeles County Coroner's Office spokesman Craig Harvey said last week that the investigation had determined somebody had shot Ruffalo.
And the ongoing probe left family members at the recent gathering in Los Angeles to mourn his death as the body needed to be held "longer than usual", reports the New York Post.
Ruffalo's body was finally released this week (begs22Dec08) and cremated.
Two persons of interest have been released from police custody without charge..

In the culture we live in today, there is no such thing as "simply being entertained". It would be better uderstood as desensitizing the population to specific concepts, values and stereotypes etc.
There is an assault on human consciousness going on, and if one wants to want to know where he she is being led, one needs to examine all mass media very critically.
When something is pushed onto the population to the degree entertainers like Beyonce and Kylie are, questions should be asked.
If only for the value of not swallowing everything the media feeds us, and trying to carve out our own values and concepts as free children of the universe.

Former Wrestler Chyna Hospitalised
Professional wrestler-turned-reality-tv star Chyna was rushed to hospital after allegedly indulging in a dangerous birthday binge drinking session.
The star - real name Joan Marie Laurer - was admitted to a California hospital early Saturday after paramedics were called to her Burbank home just before 5am.
According to TMZ.com, the star - who publicly battled her addictions on U.S. reality show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2008 - was celebrating her 36th birthday with friends, but the festivities reached a halt when the star's alcoholic drinks reacted badly with her prescription medication.
She was reportedly found by her pals, passed out with cuts on her arms before being whisked away by medics.
Doctors were reportedly forced to wait for the star's blood alcohol level to lower before carrying out an assessment.
But Laurer has brushed off the incident. She tells the website, "All I really want right now is a hamburger and fries right now."
