in a recent commercial for doritos collisions, Missy Elliot makes the following statement, which clearly mixes a plural article (it) with a singular verb (need)(twice): "I know what it need. It need some country." <--Are you telling me that she is getting paid millions of dollars to do a commercial when she can't even speak proper english when there are people out here who can't even get a job because no one wants to hire them, even despite speaking proper english and having gone to college?

'Tis pretty darned amazing.
Then again, that is the state of our culture and nation. Babbling Idiots make millions, yet the FCC forces television to bleep out "God-Damns" in classic movies, and others wish to make "Ebonics" a part of school course work.

Yeeep, pretty much.
How else do you explain songs like "The Way I Are"?
It bugs me too, but you can't do anything about it...
