Hip-Hop mogul calls for Pepsi boycott

Angered at Pepsi for placing foul-mouthed Ozzy Ozbourne in a Superbowl commercial only months after yanking rapper Ludacris for his vulgar language, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons said yesterday he plans a boycott against the soft drinks giant, accusing Pepsi of applying a double standard in a "wack" (hip-hop slang for displeasing) manner.

"The boycott is being called in response to Pepsi dropping Ludacris as spokesman and subsequently picking up the Osbournes, who are no less vulgar," a Simmons spokeman said.

A spokesman for PepsiCo Inc. said the Ludacris controversy was an unfortunate experience.

It should be noted that my laughter is only to prevent me from crying my proverbial eyes out. Is this what we have come to? I almost want to cut this article out and save it so future generations can see how ridiculous our speech has become, except that then I'd have to shamefacedly admit that I was actually a part of this generation. God, I'm ashamed enough to admit that I'm from the same species as someone who would try and start a boycott by using the word "wack" to describe the company.

Could you imagine if everyone spoke that way?

Annoying Reporter: "Ghandi--why are you on a hunger strike?"

Ghandi: "'Cuz da way dis world is be WACK, yo!"

I laughed like an ass on the T at this blurb. I'm not sure what I thought was funnier--the use of "wack" or the explanation of what it meant.

Amanda laughed like an ass (hip-hop slang for jerk who laughs openly at something no one else sees or knows is funny, thereby appearing crazy at the very least) on the T at this blurb.

Oh, and one more thing: for all that he's a so-called "hip-hop mogul"; I sure as hell don't know who this Russell Simmons guy is.
