Chris Brown doing his best impression of Ike Turner?

[stevew]

I know most a FOFC aren't fans of the music but I'm surprised at the lack of a thread. Especially since he alledgedly beat the fuck outta Rhianna who is a star as well.

[Groundhog]

Can't say I'm surprised. He's beaten the fuck outta my ear drums for a while now.

[Groundhog]

dola

Though I should have probably created the thread myself, we've got some crazy-ass fires going on down here in .au, probably deserving of a thread too. ;)

[stevew]

And I will steal the obvious one liner and say she should have hid under her umbrella Ella.

Too soon?

[AZSpeechCoach]

I think he's got 99 Problems since Rihanna is a project of Jay-Z.

[Groundhog]

To be fair, that song even makes me want to beat her. Probably with an umbrella.

[Chief Rum]

It's disturbia to me how lightly you guys are taking this.

[stevew]

He probably thinks he can Dance around these allegations Forever

[BishopMVP]

To be fair, that song even makes me want to beat her. Probably with an umbrella.If you think that version was annoying, just remember that song was originally offered to Britney Spears.

The allegations are ridiculous. Bite marks? WTF man, have fun in jail. It's disturbia to me how lightly you guys are taking this.Even if he does manage to get off (celebrity in LA + high-priced lawyers) I guess he'll have to Say Goodbye to any career.

[Izulde]

And when they go to take him to the jail, the policeman will tell him "We Ride".

[DeToxRox]

I remember that Page 6 headline when Ike died ..

Ike beats Tina to death.

Classic.

[illinifan999]

I guess he'll have to Say Goodbye to any career.


I doubt it.

[Karlifornia]

I was impressed until the police found the plaster hand wraps.

[BishopMVP]

I doubt it.Would it be better if I said he Kiss Kissed it goodbye?

Seriously, beat up a random girl? Slight problem. Beat up Rihanna, who is adored by the exact demographics and fan base he supposedly targets? Dead in the water. This isn't Usher or Ne-Yo a.k.a. someone with actual talent. He's the solo urban version of Backstreet Boys or NKOTB.

[B & B]

Anyone else thought this was the former Colorado RB?

[RainMaker]

And when they go to take him to the jail, the policeman will tell him "We Ride".
It's LA and celebrities don't get in trouble there. He'll get a slap on the wrist along with a nice string of interviews to discuss his treatment for aggression and how it stems from a bad childhood. Next record will sell a ton.

[stevew]

At least she knew how to call out SOS.

[Klinglerware]

I doubt it.

I'll have to agree With You... With You, With You, With You, With You...

[Eaglesfan27]

Perhaps, she was Unfaithful.

[Honolulu_Blue]

I've never heard of Chris Brown. This isn't the Titans running back is it?

[Young Drachma]

He doesn't need to go to jail, I'd rather him stay in the biz and get frozen out. He'll be selling his crappy albums out the back of a truck when this over, because no one will want to do cameos with his sorry ass.

What a coward.

[dacman]

Everything was great when Chris and Rihanna left the pre-Grammy party. Rihanna reported told Chris "if it's lovin' that you want" with a nod towards the door to which Chris replied "we ride."

Somewhere along the way, an argument broke out about the music selection and after several minutes of no resolution, Chris turned the radio off to which Rihanna replied "please don't stop the music!" After another couple of minutes of screaming and shouting with mutual accusations that each was unfaithful, Rihanna gave up and told Chris to "shut up and drive."

At this point Chris, with his mind clearly in disturbia, stopped the car and proceeded with the beat down the whole time thinking I hate that I love you. After Chris was finished, Rihanna quickly called the police and then sent out an SOS to the Jay-Z/Timbaland crew who have taken Rihanna under their umbrella.

At this point Chris and Rihanna either need relationship rehab or need to break it off.

R Kelly. "Trapped in a Closet." Anybody who gets blacklisted just needs something of any noteworthiness and suddenly nearly all is forgiven.

[flere-imsaho]

I'd be somewhat afraid of pissing off someone with the resources of Jay-Z.

[JediKooter]

Anyone else thought this was the former Colorado RB?

No, but, I thought maybe it was the ghost of Chris Brown from the Giants...

[JonInMiddleGA]

What Jedi Kooter said. I even had a mistaken reference post ready to go until I realized that the baseball player was killed two years ago & I didn't feel like the joke would have been appropriate.

[Young Drachma]

Looks like you fit in all song references possible, you need to "Take a Bow"

[BYU 14]

He apparently was quoted as saying Chris Brown is a dead man walking, don't know how wise that was if it's true, nonetheless, don't put your hands on a woman and no worries.

[Eaglesfan27]

I know most a FOFC aren't fans of the music but I'm surprised at the lack of a thread. Especially since he alledgedly beat the fuck outta Rhianna who is a star as well.

I'd say from the references in this thread, a fair number of us are fans of her music. I know I am. Anyway, news today is that Chris Brown actually choked her until she passed out. I'm guessing he definitely needs to watch his back.

[Noop]

Well *if* the rumors are true then she got off lucky. Giving someone herpes demands that you get your ass kicked.

[Logan]

Always classy Noop.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Seriously, what law class was that taught in?

[Eaglesfan27]

Well *if* the rumors are true then she got off lucky. Giving someone herpes demands that you get your ass kicked.


Your position is that choking someone to unconsciousness is a justifiable action for possibly (who knows he didn't get it from a previous relationship, it can be silent until an outbreak occurs but is still communicable between outbreaks) spreading a disease that a large percentage of Americans have?

[Noop]

I said if the rumors were true. Which is she had herpes before her relationship with him but did not disclose that information to him. She lied and potentially put his life in danger especially if it was something like HIV instead. Again this is the rumors and to a certain extent I don't blame him for doing what he did if she lied to him about it.

[Noop]

Always classy Noop.

Okay thanks. :rolleyes:

Seriously, what law class was that taught in?

:banghead::deadhorse:

Sometimes Noop, you're just a fucking idiot.

Beating someone, choking them to unconsciousness unless they are trying to knife you is NEVER justified. Seriously dude, reach up that ass of yours and unplug your head.

[Eaglesfan27]

1) Herpes isn't fatal - not even close.

2) How can he possibly know that he didn't get it with one of the many women that he has likely slept with before?

3) Even if she "gave him" Herpes, I can't believe you think that is in any way justification for beating her and choking her. That is sad.

Yes, you think if the rumors are true she is lucky that she *only* got the shit beaten out of her. So in your mind then, he would have been justified to, what, kill her?

[Noop]

Sometimes Noop, you're just a fucking idiot.

Thanks okay, I will be sure to pull my head out of my ass and examine it then put it back in.

[Noop]

You all are some forgiving dudes, if someone gives you a life long STD you would just chalk it up as a lost?

[Eaglesfan27]

Here are some facts about Herpes from the CDC (this is just an excerpt from their website, I bolded a few things.) Noop, do millions of Americans who spread the disease and don't even know they have it deserve to be killed, beaten, choked? What about personal responsibility of people not to have unprotected sex? Shouldn't they take responsibility for diseases they exposed themselves to (and are likely to spread to other people)?


Results of a nationally representative study show that genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have had genital HSV infection. Over the past decade, the percent of Americans with genital herpes infection in the U.S. has decreased.

Genital HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximately one out of four women) than in men (almost one out of eight). This may be due to male-to-female transmission being more likely than female-to-male transmission.

http://www.cdc.gov/std/herpes/how_get.gif
HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be found in and released from the sores that the viruses cause, but they also are released between outbreaks from skin that does not appear to have a sore. Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is infected.

HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips, so-called “fever blisters.” HSV-1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or genital-genital contact with a person who has HSV-1 infection. Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks.

[Noop]

1) Herpes isn't fatal - not even close.

3) Even if she "gave him" Herpes, I can't believe you think that is in any way justification for beating her and choking her. That is sad.

1. I said potentially could have been something else, the shear fact she would/could withhold something like that means she does not have much regard for his life.

2. I was speculating on the rumors, which existed before I knew he was dating her.

3. I never said it was justification but if he wanted to beat her down I could see why he would want too.

- I am not in favor of domestic violence(man, woman, children)

[Logan]

You all are some forgiving dudes, if someone gives you a life long STD you would just chalk it up as a lost?

Nope, bring on the felony and the possible murder charge!

You really have some issues man. The sad part is I don't even think you're exaggerating when you say you think she deserved it, and now I understand why so many fucked up things happen in this world because there are definitely people who believe the same thing you do in this case. I truly hope you are a sincerely different person outside of this board than you are on.

[Logan]

3. I never said it was justification

False. You justified it in three separate posts in this thread.

[Eaglesfan27]

1. I said potentially could have been something else, the shear fact she would/could withhold something like that means she does not have much regard for his life.

2. I was speculating on the rumors, which existed before I knew he was dating her.

3. I never said it was justification but if he wanted to beat her down I could see why he would want too.

- I am not in favor of domestic violence(man, woman, children)

1) Again, perhaps she didn't know she was infected. How many people out there test themselves for every STD? How many guys fail to disclose diseases they have? Again, why should he be pissed at her when he chose to have unprotected sex and took the risk that he could contract diseases that she may not know she has? HIV tests have a window of 6 months that they test negative even after someone has contracted it.

2.) Does it really matter if he was dating or not. He assumes risk as soon as he chose to have unprotected sex with her.

3) Your post read to me (and apparently others) as implying that you saw it as justification for a beat down and she was "lucky" she didn't get worse. The way you stated it, made me think that you would go after a woman if she gave you a disease as did your later comment that we are all some forgiving guys. Yeah, I would be pissed if I get an STD from my wife, or from a previous GF, but I wouldn't ever think it was justification for beating her or physically harming her.

[Passacaglia]

You all are some forgiving dudes, if someone gives you a life long STD you would just chalk it up as a lost?

I think there's PLENTY of room for a middle ground somewhere between forgiveness and choking.

[Eaglesfan27]

Nope, bring on the felony and the possible murder charge!

You hit the nail on the head why this bothers me. Anthony says some fucked up things, so do a few other people on here, but I see it as all part of their internet persona. I think Noop sincerely lives the attitude that his posts display which is just sad because except for his misogynistic views, he seems like a bright guy.

[Noop]

Like I said you all are a very forgiving bunch.

[Noop]

Wait you think I run around punching women? Really are you serious? I am more fucked up then I realized. Help me Jesus.

[Passacaglia]

Like I said you all are a very forgiving bunch.

Seriously. "Not choking" is not the same as forgiving.

[Radii]

I think there's PLENTY of room for a middle ground somewhere between forgiveness and choking.

yeah, this. Seriously, "life in immediate and extreme danger" is the only possible justification for any of this. There's no line ANYWHERE that makes "well I can understand why he did it" anything but an absolutely appalling statement.

[Logan]

Wait you think I run around punching women? Really are you serious? I am more fucked up then I realized. Help me Jesus.

No, we don't. But you continually post that you don't see a problem with what he did, which is the scary part. And what's worse is that even after you go on your little defense of yourself, you STILL throw up a post like "Like I said you all are a very forgiving bunch."

I've been part of this community for about a decade (or however long the Sideline dated back), and honestly I've never judged how a person is in real life based on what they've posted on the board until now...and it worries me that someone with the knowledge and professional experience of EF agrees with me.

[Crim]

Umm, Noop really shit the bed in this thread.

[illinifan999]

Yesterday I turned on the radio and there was a Chris Brown song on followed by the DJ saying that his career is over. Today on my way to and from school, they played at least 5 different Chris Brown songs. They were playing his hits from awhile ago. Just thought it was funny that a radio station that was saying his career was over was playing old songs of his.

[Buccaneer]

If this apparent rumor turns out to be true - and I've been busy today so the sum total of what I know about that is contained in this thread - his career will be fine, at least insofar as the audience is concerned. No idea what role she or her people or whatever played in his career, I can't honestly say I'd ever heard the guy's name until the Grammys.

Probation and community service for him. Might as well have brought him some fresh baked cupcakes and hired a massage therapist for him during the court appearance.

Well those courts are a forgiving bunch.

Youch.I don't want to be a dick, but how the fuck do radio stations continue to promote and play chris brown songs?

[RainMaker]

Because our younger generations have been indoctrinated into celebrity culture and doesn't seem to have a grasp on this shit. My girlfriend's sister was out to dinner with us the other day (she is 20) and talking about how everyone should just leave Lindsey Lohan alone. I wanted to cry.

[Matthean]

<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9RUSRxTpI80" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" width="640"></iframe>

No other singles were out that week? Even as much as I can't stand mainstream pop radio, that comes across as a filler song versus a #1 hit.

[Ksyrup]

These days, the songs don't matter as much as who you are featuring, it appears. From my casual review of the top 10 every so often, it appears the way to have a hit single now is just team up with some other big name and do a couple of songs where each of you is the main artist releasing the song.

[RainMaker]

I agree. Lady Gaga could record herself taking a shit and it would be at the top of the charts.

[Klinglerware]

Rihanna set to go public about Chris Brown, Jay-Z gives him stern warning first - Springfield pop music | Examiner.com (http://www.examiner.com/article/rihanna-set-to-go-public-about-chris-brown-jay-z-gives-him-stern-warning-first)

Rihanna is busy finishing up work on her latest album “Unapologetic” right now, but as soon as she wraps that up and the album is released, she plans to go public with her reconciliation with Chris Brown.

Fell in love in a hopeless place(again?)

[Suicane75]

I love how the entire thread was people making light of the situation by shoehorning in every bad joke they could until Noops post. Then it gets real.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

I have never heard a song by either of them and may never have heard of them if not for this.

The Family Guy joke was great.
