Congress freestyle: Day 1 wrap-up
Keep those brows furrowed, but rest assured that the bungling idiots who called Congress' hip-hop hearing–entitled "From Imus to Industry: The Business of Stereotypes and Degrading Images"–probably cant do much damage for now. Variety offers a quick summary of yesterday's proceedings, but the poor soul live-blogging it for Idolator still captures its spirit best. More excerpts:
10:39 a.m. Never trust anyone who says they "certainly don't enjoy" dirty word/pictures.
10:43 a.m. Thank you, video game industry, for capitulating to these ass-clowns a few years ago, thereby allowing them to think these hearings are anything other than a big hand-wringing, tsk-tsk'ing, circle-jerking waste of tax dollars.
1:31 p.m. Master P is "speaking from the heart." Uh-oh.
1:36 p.m. Master P wants to form a union where artists will be fined for bad behavior.
