Sex Tapes to Relevancy (I Blame Pop Culture)




I had to view the trailer to one of the reality shows that makes me flee from social media when it is on TV because y’all want to talk shower rods & this show. (Umm who is the “human rat” guy? And when did Li’l Boosie put on that kind of weight?) Then because of autoplay on Facebook, I saw the sex tape (and the shower rod) trailer talked about on the Love & Hip Hop Atlanta trailer. Ok, the lady knows how to pick out sturdy shower accessories. She gets a thumbs up from me on that. Now what she does with the shower rod *sigh* is going to be mimicked by the freaky and her infamy will rise.

The first one I remember was Tommy Lee & Pamela Anderson. This was pre-internet and the media & gossip was all a buzz about it. It also received a healthy dose of shame. Then was the R. Kelly one that everyone claims to watch, said it was him, but… Let me stop let’s just say I’ll be bringing this tape up again in a blog about Rape Culture. Then the person who has become one the most famous names out right now because of a sex tape, Ms. Kim Kardashian. Honestly, I have never watched whatever she did with Ray J. It’s been talked about enough, I feel I don’t need to.

It is sad to me sex tapes get your name out there in Pop Culture. There are many. Some are leaked. Some are put out on purpose. I just don’t want young people to think sex taping is the truest way to stardom. It’s like sex tapes are the newest way to “sleep your way to the top”. No one needs to know how your personal “Home Depot mixes the Paint in the Bucket”. People need to know of all the sex tapes out there how many people have made it to relevancy in Pop Culture. The number is very few. Tommy Lee & R. Kelly was already famous. R. Kelly almost went to prison *sigh* because of one. Kim K has a reality show but is constantly reminded by the Pop Culture media how she got her fame. And as for this Mimi person, it’s not looking good for her according to talk among my FBF that watches the show. Seems like she is a bit of a liar when it comes to talking about this tape.

I’m no hypocrite because I am a hypocrite. Without sex tapes, the world would have never met The Golden Sisters. That’s them above viewing Kim K & Ray J’s tape. Those ladies crack me up. Sex Tapes do not. Let’s show the real damage that these things truly cause and stop glorifying them like works of art.

As Always, Talking to You in Adult Terms
