Media & Journalism - May 2007

It sounds a bit funny to me that the15 year old daughter of a well known preacher (who happens to claim not to like hip hop) was at an Akon concert that was exclusively for patrons 18 and up was tricked into a "simulated sexual act" on stage at a club in Trinidad. After the video was released on You Tube and Local Media the father of the girl demanded an investigation as to why his innocent daughter was sexually assaulted. As a result Akon was then banned from travelling to Trinidad and was dropped from his endorsement deal with Virizon Wireless. I'm not defending his actions but I would like to question the situaion itself. Do you feel that the consequences should have been harsh or do you think that everything is blown all out of proportion?

Would you be angry at the government for lying, or would you decide they had valid reasons for what they did? What do you think those reasons would be?

Does anyone else get sick of hearing this over dressed, over publicized whiney spoiled little brat complain about how she is mistreated?? Why is she special, she isn't!!!! She broke the law, bottom line! She is obnoxious and it is so sad I cannot even turn on my evening news without hearing her whine! She needs to figure out that she isn't special and the media needs to focus on more important things! Anyone with me?

I think he's pretty fair and he brings up things that ppl need to hear. But I have a hard time buying into what talk radio hosts of any kind say. They are there to get ratings.

This is going to be hilarious! 45 days in a tiny little cell. I think they should keep her there for a year.

I heard she was kept alive because she was the pretty one and they wanted to rape and sexually abuse her. Thats why the Iraquis told our troups where she was because they frlt it was wrong what the terrorists were doing.
