Usually I don't watch the TV. Just happened to turn on the TV the other day and caught some music awards show. Now I despise my TV even more. There on my TV is Jimmy Kimball doing the "Souljah Boy" dance on stage. A few days later while talking to my friend. She mentions that Ellen had Souljah Boy on her show recently to teach her the dance. Do people really not pay attention to lyrics anymore? I've actually seen parents encouraging their children to sing the song or do the dance. Do we really want our children to get the impression that its ok to be ejaculate on or to be ejaculating on others. I guess people really do buy and listen to anything these days. I have 3 girls so I am careful about music that I allow my kids to listen to. I especially don't let them listen to sexual explicit or women degrading songs. So to see Souljah Boy getting daytime and evening TV time, it really made me want to throw up and never turn my tv on again.

The song is about a man ejaculating on a woman's back so much the sheets stick to her back and form a cape, or "Super Man Dat Ho". He looks to be very young and the boy barely speaks proper language. Did he even graduate from high school? I'm sorry but this is not a song our children should be walking around singing. Nor should we be supporting songs like this to be played on the radio or TV. Its almost like 3-6 Mafia getting a Grammy for the song "Its hard to be a pimp". Or even the song Laffy Taffy that got non-stop airplay a few years ago. It's really a disgrace to our children. We don't want our children doing drugs or having sex. Yet we are letting them grow up on a sex, money, & drugs based reality shows, mtv/bet/vh1, and almost every radio station these days. They are constantly being flooded with sexual explicit music and material. And yet we are shocked at the pregnancy and std rate in children 11 to 18.
