Controversy??
PHARRELL, swapped his stupid Smokey the Bear hat for a Bellboy hat. He was very VAGUELY compared to a monkey by some stubble-boy named Zack Burp or something.
PS, just because Pharrell seemed like he was doing his impersonation of a lawn jockey, or Curious George, or the traditional fawning yassuh black bellhop from the 30's, or the organ grinder's monkey...DO NOT SAY SO.
PPS, there will be someone going through the boxing archives to remove every mention of Muhammad Ali calling Joe Frazier a "gorilla." As in: "It'll be a thrilla when I beat the gorilla in Manilla."
Those pictures of Ali punching a rubber gorilla toy? Never happened. BAN THOSE. By George Orwell's ghost, we'll have none of that in the 21st Century of the Politically Correct.
Is it possible that Pharrell, like so many young blacks, is ignorant of past culture, and has never watched a 30's movie, never had his mama or grandmama explain what dignity is, and has no idea what an organ grinder is or how the grinder's monkey was always dressed up in a bell hop outfit?
I guess Pharrell would never have flipped through the racks of a record store (what's that?) and noticed something like this:
Maybe if it wasn't Zack Burp, but some black comedian, it would've been ok. Burress or somebody. "Hey, yo, did you see Pharrell lookin' like a damn monkey?" Anyone notice those mammy stereotypes in those fucking Tyler Perry movies that blacks love so much, where he dresses like a woman? Anyone hear the word "nigga" in rap songs?? Let's selectively decide when we're offended. If a white person says anything, for example. If a black does it, no, then the remark, idiotic outfit, or "N" word is fine.
Maybe all existing prints of 1939's 'Wizard of Oz' will be recalled, so special Photoshopping and re-imaging can make the flying monkeys look, uh, more like Arthur fucking Treacher or somebody else long-faced and white.
