Boycotting Beyonce

Ok Beyonce, I can deal with seeing your face everywhere, I can deal with having to hear your songs even when I don't like them very much. You're a good singer and a decent actress. I get the whole thing with you and Jay-Z, and I respect it.  I do however, have serious doubts now about you as a mentally fit person, and am therefore considering your latest move, the last straw with my putting up with you. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm referring to your latest bullshit "alter-ego" named Sasha Fierce.  Do you know how stupid you sound?

I couldn't believe my ears upon hearing this and I therefore have a number of bones to pick with you about it.  First, GREAT career move, I'm happy about this and believe your album will deserve to fail miserably because you've titled it after the result of your psychological disorder, and have even given "her" a myspace page.  Second, remember Garth Brooks' alter-ego? Neither does anyone else. And I'm not even sure anyone even remembers Garth Brooks after he pulled similar shenanigans; his "alter-ego's" album flopped just like yours will - again, deservedly so. 

Just tell me one thing Beyonce since I refuse to call you Sasha: Are you fucking kidding me?  

You don't have enough money, power, and attention?  You can do whatever you want and this is what you choose to do. Ok great, but I think that when celebrities pull this kind of garbage on people it's for one of two reasons: either 1) They actually believe this crap themselves, making them unfit to be "role models" to the general public and therefore should be immediately yanked from the spotlight and forced into mandatory counseling; or 2) They are really smart (which is a GIANT stretch) and think that you are actually really very stupid and will buy into their crap. And for those of you who are that stupid and will buy into it, fuck you too.

So Beyonce, who's responsible for the album if it goes to shit as it probably will? Sasha and her husband, Jay-B? How does this work for tax purposes, did you have to file separately for your other personality - or what you call "alter-ego" - with the IRS? And have any medical teams been informed of your delusions so they can properly assess the situation? 

Even though I can't say I was ever a fan, I was never so completely opposed to you being a performer, until now. So, I've decided to boycott you, Beyonce. And your "alter-ego".  I will switch radio stations when I hear either of your songs on the radio. I will quickly turn the page when I see an advertisement with either of your faces bearing the makeup you're promoting. And I will never buy your perfume OR that of your other personality because as far as I'm concerned, it will smell just like the feces you are peddling.

Sasha Fierce is such a Drag Queen name! I don't know if you saw SNL this week or not, but it really gave me a good laugh and I was shocked she went along with it. I tried to link it to you but it's been removed. Shocker!!
