What did we, the human race, do to deserve the excellence of Beyoncé

The Guardian ^ | 22 October 2016 | Bim Adewumni

[Cronos]

Sometimes you just can't say anything to make fun of an article like this. Just wow.....

[RightGeek]

Had to make sure it was not April 1

[Tax-chick]

Lots of people work extremely hard to make themselves extremely rich. Lots of them are scum. El Chapo worked hard, too.

[grania]

Where is the barf alert? How do Beyoncé’s lyrics and on stage gestures empower women to be anything but sluts?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

All tongue-in-cheek.
It drips sarcasm.

[IronJack]

Here’s an individual so insecure he/she has to find his purpose in the persona os some botox’d hood rat booty-shaker. This is the cult of celebrity in a microcosm, hero worship on the personal scale. Sad that so undeserving a creature should be the target of such adoration, but in a hollowed-out society devoid of any moral heroes, I guess you find them other places.

Bim Adewumni . 'Nough said.

[OpusatFR]

I’ve never heard her sing, watched her perform or bothered to read about her, albeit this once.

She’s as immaterial to my life as I am to hers.

In fact, just about all the celebrities and “culture” (in quotes and loosely considered) are about as meaningless to my life as I am to someone who resides in Phoenix or Kalamazoo.

EXCEPT

For this one citizen’s vote against the current machine on November 8.

If...my vote is counted, not changed mechanically, or thrown away.

~Which is in question.

Excuse me while I go and expel my breakfast!

“All tongue-in-cheek.
It drips sarcasm.”

I wouldn’t be so sure. There is no limit to sycophancy. How do explain the media and Hillary?

[lowtaxsmallgov]

Is this sarcasm?

My BS-o-meter is ooff the charts...

[Pietro]

Yeah, but here “music” sucks, so........

[T-Bone Texan]

"...I feel a number of things: a surge of self-love..."

Pathetic.

I do not consider anyone named "Bim" to be worthy of my time, or let alone air. People like her should fall into Harambe's enclosure.

[lonestar]

She is so disgusting!

[caver]

Is this author serious?

[Original Lurker]

A culture of liquid manure.

[NorthMountain]

This is why I absolutely detest the so-called “semi-news semi-satire” genre. It consists of falsehoods which mimic reality ... but in the end reality is far weirder than the falsehoods.

[PghBaldy]

She work hard for the monay!

[Maverick68]

She is the beneficiary of an extremely dumbed-down populace.
