Day Late, Dollar Short
I’m convinced that the internet [especially sites like Twitter, Ustream, and Justin.tv] have their servers reside in the 9th Circle of Hell. From Solange Piaget’s haircut causing an international stir on Twitter, to Lil’ Bow Wow being felt up by trannies in Chris Stokes’s bathroom, these networking sites have caused celebrities to expose themselves to the public, and, in return, has made people ask the question “How Far is Too Far?”
This leads to Mr. Stephon Marbury. A year ago, life was good. He was a well known basketball star and owned a shoe line that was sold at Steve and Barry’s. Cut to 2009, and he has become a free agent with no contract offer, and Steve and Barry’s went bankrupt during the recession, leaving him without a job, and no endorsement offer. We all know that idle hands are the devil workshop and Mr. Marbury is no exception.
Over the weekend, the newest internet sensation [move the fuck over Sissy Nobby] begun a 24 hour live stream [*]
and what started out as a friendly chat soon progressed into a downward spiral of madness. Him dancing to Sasha Fierce, random mumblings and finally, leading up to the main event: Him crying profusely during the playing of a Kirk Franklin song.
I’m all for expressing yourself freely, but doing it in front of thousands, and eventually millions through the re-broadcasting on Youtube and WorldStarHipHop, is not a good look. Didn’t he know that the same suckers that was watching him was going to throw his ass under the bus later in the comment boxes of the blogs? Not saying we all don’t have our down moments, but being vulnerable in front of random folks is not the way to deal with or solve our problems.
[*I don’t know about y’all, but without AT LEAST five hours of sleep, I’m crankier than Kanye showing up late at a Nordstrom Sale and finding out that the heels he spied on the internet is ALL-SOLD-OUT]
