You have really nice teeth!
I don't think that Beyonce should get a pass as a celebrity. People talk about other celebrity parents parental skills all the time. This wasn't a dig at Blue. It was a dig at Beyonce and Jay-Z. Was it a bit offensive -- yes, but a lot of jokes are. It's no different than if David Letterman did a top 10 of things Michael Jackson kids thought while on the trip to the zoo and said "I can't see anything because I have to wear these burqa's over my head." but the difference is that everyone would laugh and not think anything of it. I think people need to stop being so sensitive about Beyonce or celebrities in general. If we can pay them hundreds of millions of dollars, they can take a joke or two of public scrutiny.
I agree that Chris's girl handled the situation terribly. As you stated she could have grew a backbone and said I'm not saying this joke. However, she could have also grew a backbone and just apologized, if she felt the need to, without throwing her employer under the bus. By placing the blame on some unidentifiable BET producer/intern/worker, it basically throws a red flag up not only to that network but to other networks as well that as a personality when she comes under a little bit of fire, she won't be able to take it and will turn on them. Either route requires her to have a backbone, which she clearly doesn't have and which is why she will be relegated to being Chris' down bitch.
Finally, I think that 106 and Park is still a much needed vehicle on BET, much like I think new programming such as The Keke Palmer show is needed. I don't particularly think that 106 and Park was ever really about the videos like TRL was as much as it was a microcosm of a particular section of African American culture. Such a vehicle is needed particularly in light of issues in race so that they can be discussed in a format that is geared towards a younger audience. I know that as a student in boarding school I was religious about watching 106 and Park. I had an agreement with the white girls, I watched 106 & Park uninterrupted; they watched ANTM and The Notebook and Mean girls on endless loop uninterrupted.
