The 32 Flavors of Love
Television shows are not a favorite topic of mine, yet the show soon to be mentioned has me excited. There is an underlying issue presented by the show that I think most people have yet to notice.
The Flavor of Love is a show airing on VH1 that features Flava Flav of Public Enemy fame and Surreal World disgrace. Like the show that featured the guy from the Brandy Bunch and a poster child for the ill effects of cocaine, it is a spin off that puts a celebrity in ridiculous situations. I am esepcially attracted to this show b/c my grandmother’s nickname is also Flava Flav.
Before you get any wild ideas let me tell you that is as far as the similarities go between those two.
Flava’s scenario of choice is to have the privilege of spending his days and nights with a bunch of women who are competing to split the salary he’s getting for being on the show. In other words, you get to watch a man at a brothel for a couple of weeks. These women parade themselves for him and do whatever he asks.
Flava had another show on VH1 before this one. I didn’t watch that one so I can’t compare it. After watching one episode of The Flavor of Love I am amazed at the stuff VH1 is allowed to put on the air. I’m not appalled nor offended. It is that I was under the assumption that television had gotten much stricter with its decency laws. In just one episode Flave did the following things (some were off camera where they cut away right before they need to start blur stuff out):
1. Tongue down a girl named New York
2. Fondle the breast of a girl named Smiley
3. Use his nose to become more acquainted with three women’s cleavage than Daniel Boone was with the cumberland gap.
4. Suck on the nipple of a girl named Pumpkin
5. Rub New York’s anus and vag through her panties
Unfortunately for all the contestants he chose only to have sex with Smiley that night.
For some reason he gave these girls nicknames. I guess he was using the Man’s Rule of Thumb #471- that you never need to learn a hoe’s name.
Somehow when no one was looking VH1 became the most vulgar channel on air. Perhaps the FCC is a fan of Flav and just let's this all slide.
To add a little context to that above list let me elaborate on what brought about all that fondling (except the first one). The competition of the moment was to see who could stimulate Flav’s senses the most. The girl’s let him smell them, taste them, touch them, listen to them, and watch them dance. The girls would compete using boner points. The impression I got was that the bigger the bulge the more points the contestants received.
Sure you don’t actually see him suck on a nipple, or see his hand on the breast. Instead you see the girl walk up to him and begin to take off her shirt and mount him during the tasting competition. For the tit touching the angle has the girl’s back facing the camera. Her shirt is also raised. It didn’t take a stretch of the imagination to understand what was going on.
The lesson to take away from this would be to never let anyone tell you that you can’t do that on television.
