you don't like eminem
for some reason you think that gives you the right to condemn me for having a different opinion.
you apparently seem to feel that all public figures have a moral obligation to be about as controversial as UP WITH PEOPLE,
lest some fragile young child take on eminem as a role model.
I agree eminem is probably a cocky, arrogant prick, I have no desire to ever meet him b/c I'll probably be disappointed.
but I enjoy listening to his music, and I'll probably enjoy the movie.
I buy the albums b/c I like to listen to them, I'm not purposely "supporting homophobic agenda".
that's like saying buying CLERKS on dvd is "supporting the slacker/drug dealer agenda" - see how stupid that sounds?
eminem acts like himself when he's in public, if he comes off like an arrogant prick, he probably is an arrogant prick.
I'd rather see that than the big fake grins and manufactured opinions of the N'SYNC type groups.
