I saw this on an infomercial late last night, and I just had to find a link online.
The infomercial was a delicate balance of soft-core porn and cheesy night-owl capitalism. It was not subtle in its sex/fitness propaganda. And, I think it's safe to say that the word "booty" has officially been co-opted by mainstream America. There were many times in the past when I thought the word was taken hostage, only to be returned to its rightful owners. But now, it is no longer a hip slang word. It took longer than "fa shizzle my nizzle" to get to this point, but if you ever happen to come across the TV ad late at night, try counting the number of times the product's name is mentioned... it'll make your head swim.
Fuck what the election results told you: even in the Red States, as we speak, there's some God-fearing, liberal-hating, gay-bashing hick sitting on a stump, abusing the word "booty" with impunity...
That's all for now...
