Who knew Alanis Morissette was such a brilliant satirist?

It's both funny and disturbing.


I haven't listened to Morissette since high school (and Ironic was everywhere then, so don't pretend you don't remember it), though I did like her portrayal of God in Dogma. I wonder whether her more recent recordings have this kind of feminist content?

Ghost Ride It!

Ok, let's set aside that this song has an incredibly uncreative beat and is so clearly based on an attention grabbing gimmick it actually got the Macarena song stuck in my head by association.

I'm not the type of alarmist that freaks out whenever some stupid kid does something he thinks his heroes of pop culture want him to do. Songs about street violence? Fine. Video games with the blasting and the shooting, whahey 'n lehvin! Sure. But I mean, this is pretty hard to defend. He's telling people explicitly to get out of their cars while the cars are still moving down the street? I mean come on!

Thanks to Czar for tipping me off to this one.
