    since this is in the public forum i will refrain from my initial thought...

    but umm..

    WTF???
    http://www.allpoetry.com/Grunts%20Girl

    We dallied under
    Vine maples and sapling alders
    Searched for lady slippers
    But instead
    Found blackberry riots and
    Desiccated branches

    An old skid road
    Brought ghost ferns and
    Hollows filled with
    Skunk cabbage
    While waves wrapped
    Intricate lacings of weeds
    'Round mule spinners

    His cyanotic eyes
    Were hard enough to make
    The sun turn tail and
    Tender enough to attract me
    To his world of illusion

    Makes you wonder what they really think of their target audience. I'd be insulted.

    It's kinda catchy. Guess BIG has a new song to bump from the G-ride, when he's cruising those mean streets.

    But seriously, it's a shame there are so many low life, trash, uneducated but dumbacated muthaphuckas, to make such a video even possible.

    By the way Term, read a book, read a book, read a muthaphuckin' book!!

    I am appalled and angry. That is so incredibly wrong on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin. However, once I find the words I'll be using them in a letter to BET.

    Considering the quality of programming on BET to begin with, is anyone suprised?

    Are they freaking kidding me??!! I hope that this was supposed to be satire and not a legit ad campaign. If they are serious, I guess that would explain a lot.
