(Flav used to be in one of the greatest rap groups of all time. How the mighty has fallen!)<BR/><BR/>I was watching ANTM for a while. I But a few (many) cycles in, it just seemed like everything except the girls was on loop. "I have....6 pictures in my hands. ....But only 5 of you stand before me.........." Then T hands out the pictures, and not with some of them, some episodes, but with each of them, on every episode, she says, "You are now... one step closer... towards becoming... America's... Next... Top... Model". <BR/>(I think they did it on purpose; that show seemed confortable making a parody of itself after a number of years.)<BR/>The 'towards becoming' always seemed a touch too Heideggerian for me (but a touch of H. is all it takes to get me riled up).<BR/><BR/>And Ideas- all umlauts aside, I am with you. Let's reject the plea that stands on one frail, shaky little leg- that of ignorance. Because what people mean when they say that is also, "I will not give any account of what I do, and I refuse to listen to you discuss me, and (therfore) you cannot criticize me".<BR/>So you must be uncritical, and you cannot even discuss the issue, because the discussion would implicitly be critical. They forcibly declare: both parties, you and I, shall remain utterly ignorant of any issues at question.<BR/>Bums!<BR/><BR/>Eric hates it when people say "you don't know me; you don't know what I've been through, so how can you judge me?" as a justification for their (bad) behavior. I'm on the fence on that one, but mainly because British rappers seem to say it a lot, and I rather like them.christophreshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364181767772103345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33488833.post-9184821556112808362008-07-10T11:40:00.000-05:002008-07-10T11:40:00.000-05:00The reality-TV trope that I most find myself harpi...The reality-TV trope that I most find myself harping on in philosophy classes (usually when I'm talking about Plato, Augustine or Nietzsche it seems) is that catch-phrase of the season's token asshole:<BR/><BR/>"That's [where "that" might be anything from being racist to trying to steal someone's significant other to forgetting to take out the garbage] the just the way I am, take it or leave it. I don't apologize for it."<BR/><BR/>Well, maybe you should apologize for it. Maybe the way you are is wrong.<BR/><BR/>Plus, you know one of the producers of America's Top Model.
