OK, AFAIK I've never heard this song. I have only a hazy familiarity with the name Gwen Stefani. But this:
A probing analysis of Gwen Stefani's 'Hollaback Girl' is absolutely hilarious. And thanks to [livejournal.com profile] kalio_plaid, Chris and I got to read it and indulge in much snortlaughing :)
Excerpts:
  • Oooh, this my shit, this my shit
    Gwen repeats this four more times. She wants to make sure that we are well acquainted with her shit.
  • Gwen is going to beat up the person who wronged her, after she completes the cheerleading routine that will inspire the football team to score a touchdown. Gwen has interesting priorities.
  • She is a complex antiheroine for an age of changing gender attitudes and expectations.

Me: What did we ever do before the internet?
Chris: We talked. We told stories, we laughed, we shared... it was hell.

Thousands Fill Church for 'Justice Sunday'

Hey, guys? God called... He'd like His name back, please.

You know, if you're all done waving it around in the name of hatred and intolerance.



Later Edit:
"We live in a complex society and theirs is a simplistic approach," said the Rev. Bill Sherman, a Baptist minister in nearby Fairview, Tennessee.

"To identify your church with a party, to push your agenda is not the proper function of the church. I don't like for any church to try to manipulate a political party. Politicians should be elected, not chosen by the church. There are plenty of Baptists who feel as I do and do not feel this is appropriate," he said.

Thank you!
