BY KAT
I receive a lot of blog emails, and two stuck out at me this time that I thought would provide interesting reading (for those of you who may be bored or searching a method of procrastination)
This first blog is about how pop culture has been "sympathizing with pimps"--
When rappers Three 6 Mafia won an Oscar for their song "It's Hard Out There for a Pimp" in 2005, it further diluted the ugly reality of pimps, turning them into a pop-culture phenomenon, writes Human Trafficking guest blogger Michele Clark. It might seem funny, but glorifying pimps at parties and awards ceremonies endorses the modern slave trade, and we should be fighting rather than emulating pimp culture.
Is it still hard out there for a pimp?
This second one is concerning a weird environmental practice: killing mountain lions to allow more deers to thrive, so that hunters can kill more deers. Twisted logic? I think so.
WTF 101
I put the links because I think these people are much more educated in the subjects than I am, and have already made their blogs--so they're likely to be far better than any re-hashed version I could come up with.
