All right. I wasn’t going to post this weekend, but I wanted to put this out there. Teflon over at Molten Thought is catching flak for his new Ten Commandments, written to parody what, he believes, is the dumbing down of the Word and the pandering to gender politics found in the newly released Today’s New International Version. Some commenters on his blog found his “commandments” racist.
Here they are:
1. I am the cool mack daddy of the dope hype flow. Give me props and mad respect.
2. Don’t be kneeling for some bling bling,
3. Don’t be throwing my name around, be it J. Hovah or Yah Diddy.
4. Yo, Sunday is “funday,” ya dig?
5. Respect your moms, your pops, or whoever it was raised you, unless they whack.
6. Thou shalt not bust a cap in someone’s ass.
7. Don’t be running around on people like they don’t know.
8. No five-finger discounts.
9. Don’t front.
10. If your neighbor’s got a fly crib or a pimped-out set of wheels, that’s they bidness, not yours.
Read the comment section over there, too. And, tell me, what do you think? Parody? Racism?
