Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:30 PM

Good morning Sally...
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:30 PM

Hello!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:30 PM

Okay, good afternoon...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:30 PM

So...I normally don't watch videos, but had a friend over last night who wanted to watch the VMA's.
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:31 PM

Lol. Yep yep. So do you think your ice bucket challenge video was objectifying yourself???
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:31 PM

The Video Music Awards, formerly called the MTV Awards...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:31 PM

LOL...
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:31 PM

Video music awards
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:32 PM

Anyway...I was blown away by the performances and behaviors of the women in today's pop culture.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:33 PM

I mean maybe I'm out of touch but I thought equal right movement was to eliminate the sexual objectification of women...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:33 PM

at least that...
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:33 PM

Yes it was, but these women know that people (men) give them stuff for looking/acting a certain way
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:34 PM

Believe it or not...Miley Cirus was one that didn't objectify herself sexually!
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:34 PM

Miley was still showing her mid drift even though she helped a homeless guy and he accepted her award...
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:34 PM

She's done it plenty before now though. Lol
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:34 PM

But she didn't twerk anybody or do a wrecking ball!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:35 PM

That's why it was amazing that she wasn't doing something to out do the others!!
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:35 PM

Good for her. Maybe she's growing up and realizing good deeds outweigh twerking and objectifying yourself at the VMAs
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:35 PM

Lourdes was the other that stood out from the slutty crowd
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:35 PM

Yep yep
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:35 PM

Amazing number of BUTT implants at the VMA show!!
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:36 PM

Haha. That's the new craze!
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:37 PM

And nicki manaj had a wardrobe malfunction... No nicki, you're not Janice Jackson!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:38 PM

Understand that I am not saying that many of these women can sing...damn can they sing...but comeon...really? Nicki Miniaj might need to do something funky but...
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:38 PM

The anaconda she was going to have in her show but a dancer back stage!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:39 PM

Beyonce was the queen of the sluts...I couldn't believe her performance!! One of all those songs was okay...the rest was stripper music
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:39 PM

During rehearsal
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:39 PM

the snake bit a dancer???
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:40 PM

Yes
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:41 PM

Days before in a rehearsal
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:41 PM

Everyone is giving taylor swift such hell for her new video. Shaking it or something
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:41 PM

Wow...scary...
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:42 PM

Its a wild animal.... Hello?!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:42 PM

There was very little impressive about the VMA's . In fact, nothing impressed me at all.
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:42 PM

It was very sweet to do a tribute to robin Williams
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:42 PM

But an anaconda bite...that's impressive!!
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:43 PM

Yeah I think Hollywood is in shock still about robin Williams. Celebrities are taking it much harder than other deaths I think
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:43 PM

Yes, short and sweet. I was glad it wasn't some kind of horribly long thing to make us all cry.
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:43 PM

Exactly
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:43 PM

He wore the jokers mask very well...had us all fooled.
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:44 PM

Iggy azalea also slipped off a stage days before the VMAs
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:44 PM

At a benefit concert
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:44 PM

And don't forget suge knight being shot!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:44 PM

It happens. Pink gets hurt all the time during rehearsals and shows
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:45 PM

No, tell me about that Suge Knight thing....
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:45 PM

Chris Brown was involved...????
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:45 PM

He's the guy who was driving when tupac was shot and killed. He's a thug. Drugs, prison, gangs, guns. The whole deal. He was shot in a packed nightclub where Chris brown was throwing a party for the VMAs
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:46 PM

He's going it make it. He's been shot before- pro!
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:46 PM

Some rumors say Chris brown was supposed to be the target...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:46 PM

Wow...not a surprise...chris Brown is a wanna be thug.
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:46 PM

Oh yeah and suge knight is a cold blooded thug. He beats his gf but beats the charges because "witnesses don't cooperate"
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:47 PM

And suge knight swears tupac is alive in an island somewhere... Silly morons
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:47 PM

Amazing...the VMA's make me glad that I don't have kids that I have to explain all of this crap to...
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:48 PM

Really. The world really is getting out of hand
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:48 PM

I would hate for little girls to think that the behavior of Beyonce or Nicki Manaj is how to make it in this world.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:48 PM

And to be beaten by your "bf" is okay because he's a pig.
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:49 PM

Yep. Its a shame. But look at Melissa McCarthy. Fat. And she has to result to vulgar cussing to make it
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:49 PM

Love her btw
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:49 PM

and I know it's performance but I'm an adult....little girl doesn't understand the difference.
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:50 PM

Right.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:50 PM

But you see Fat men on TV and in movies all the time...double standards. Rosanne had to be crude, Melissa McCarthy had to be shocking...
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:50 PM

Exactly. See!
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:51 PM

Thanks for joining me today
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:52 PM

The VMA's and the community we call pop culture are showing our children to be sluts and criminals...
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:52 PM

Yes it is. Damn celebrities!
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:52 PM

And media
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:53 PM

Particularly clearly in the VMA's and pop culture.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 4:53 PM

You see a completely different set of problems at the Emmy's ...on tonight by the way.
SJ

Sally Jesse · 4:53 PM

Oh yeah. First world problems. Lol
