Beyonce Protest

So they are protesting.

Predictable buggers. Poor Beyonce obviously didn't learn her lesson after scrapping her proposed concert several years back due to a strict dress code enforced by the Malaysian government. Oh no, the intrepid diva has decided to risk her chances again by coming in October to stage a leg of her world tour in the capital Kuala Lumpur. Obviously Islamic groups in the country have already expressed their opposition to the upcoming concert and say they will send a protest note to the government.

Yawn.

I think it's become so common to see these religious zealots protesting - well everything from clothes to concerts - that I've become almost inured to their badly written, grammatically incorrect signs. Let's allow them their day in the sun since in a true democracy, every ass is entitled to an opinion after all. The real fools are the spineless ones who actually pander to these narrow-minded bigots.

Bet they wouldn't mind me half-naked!

Let them protest. Doesn't mean you have to listen.

And let's face it, boys and girls, is a concert even worth going if the boys at Persatuan Kebangsaan Pelajar Islam Malaysia PKPIM ( that would be Islamic Students Association natch! ) don't protest? Hell, if these wannabe imams actually support a government-sanctioned concert, you can bet its gonna be seriously dull. Think tacky third-world stage with flashy neon lights and cardboard cut-out backgrounds. Acne-ridden adolescent boys belting out religious verses with zombie-eyed burqa-clad background dancers tripping up the stage for no apparent reason. Talk about a yawn a minute.

Maybe it's time we protested their lack of taste instead.

Zealot : They should ban the concert. Imagine Beyonce exhibiting herself in that scandalous scrap of cloth.
Paul : Yeah I'm sure you're imagining that booty in your dirty lil wet dreams, repressed straight boy.
Zealot : And it goes against our eastern culture.
Paul : What eastern culture? Yours? Mine? Don't equate your culture with mine. And has there ever been a consensus on eastern culture?
Zealot : We must protect our young ones from such avid licentiousness!
Paul : You don't want to come to the concert because of its licentiousness? Stay home, lock your doors and knit crotchet with your naive babies, scared lil bitches! We like it. And you are not our daddies.

Even if the crazy zealots actually stay home with their banners and knitting needles, I doubt we'll see Beyonce shaking her bootylicious self in this.



You know her womanly curves in a black suit would only drive the repressed buggers insane with lust.

These people are just crazy and full of nonsense. You are entitled to your stupid religious and moral views, but it doesn't mean everyone in this country has to think or behave like you. If you don't wanna watch this concert, then lock yourself at home. Don't deprive other people chances of watching it.

Thanks Paul for this post, and I absolutely agree with you about the notion that if there's a concert which they didn't protest, that concert is definitely no good.

I think Beyonce does not mind covering up because a concert in Malaysia means $$$ for her : )

Huhu.... self-appointed moral guardians that demand us to surrender our independent reasoning to them. Tough luck!

Ah, the good ol debate on censorship. Like my daddy used to tell me- Who are they to tell me what I can or can't see? I'll be the judge of that myself! :)
