Ja Rule does not want his MTV. Speaking out against congressional hearings on violent hip-hop music, the “musician” says the government needs to focus more on the music network’s gay agenda:
…We need to go step to MTV and Viacom, and lets talk about all these fucking shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can’t watch this shit.
Dating shows that’s showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon. Let’s talk about shit like that! If that’s not fucking up America, I don’t know what is.
Really? We do: the Iraq War, mortgage crisis, flawed education system, homelessness, AIDS, idiots like Ja Rule.

Seems to me typical religious values being expressed here. Violence ok to show by the bucket loads on tv but any loving sexual acts and all hell breaks loose.
Why oh why are religious moral values SO fucked up???
Woof

ja rule is an obnoxious moron.

I’d worry about this if he still had a career to speak of. Where was he quoted, one of those free Job Guides you pick up by the carts at the supermarket?

Wait, who exactly is Ja Rule, I’ve never heard of him? I’d search for it on Google, but I honestly couldn’t care less about the (false and untrue) opinion of a squinty-faced bastard.
Alexa
If he doesn’t like it he should do like Kanye and boycott MTV. But nobody would care.
Mr. B
What a tool. I wonder what kinds of crap his kids ARE allowed to watch–I’m sure there’s plenty worse than two guys or two girls pecking each other on NEXT.

What’s really scary is that this moron has kids. I bet he’s teaching them some lovely “family values”.

to be honest… MTV IS pretty gay… LOL.
so, let’s see if i get this right – supposing MTV woke up one day and magically started playing rap videos about having hoes all over the state, and picking up bitches in a Bentley while sipping on Cristal to go to a pool party where all the women bounce around like they got a vibrator on “high” stuck up their crotch… THEN THAT is suitable viewing for children in mid day?
his kids seeing crappy ass dating shows (gay or straight) that show crappy ass people make crappy ass fools of themselves is FAR FAR worse than his kids learning the objectifying of woman and a blatant display of materialism??
I’m just wanting to clarify because I think Ja Rule is doing a classic case of “deflection”.

They totally took Ja Rule’s word out of Context…. Here is the entire interview… Who ever posted that needs to stop….
Please read below ….
“They got my man Doug Morris under fire and @#!*, they got him going down to go speak to Congress about hip-hop lyrics, are you @#*$ing serious?” Ja said. “There’s a f–king black kid right now about to get 25 years for having a fight with some white kids over hanging the nooses over the white tree, let’s get to that. Let’s get into sh-t like that, because that’s what’s tearing up America, not me calling a woman a b–ch or a h-e on my rap songs.”
“And if it is, then we need to go step to Paramount, and f–king MGM, and all of these other motherf–kers that’s making all of these movies and we need to go step to MTV and Viacom, and lets talk about all these f–king shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can’t watch this sh-t,” he continued. “Dating shows that’s showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon. Let’s talk about s–t like that! If that’s not f–king up America, I don’t know what is.”
“There’s a lot of issues we can address besides hip-hop, but they want to put everything on us like we’re the problem,” Ja added. “This is going to be a shameless f–king plug, but I said, ‘when everyone wants to point the finger, and ask why there’s so much corruption, they only need to look in the mirror.’ It starts with themselves.”
Dawster
(I actually read the whole quote BEFORE i posted my comments.)
the only thing you showed Shannna1234 is that Ja Rule is a bigger asshole than what was presented, and he was deflecting towards multiple directions, not just homosexuality.
there are many things that are wrong with the world – yes. homosexuality on MTV IS NOT one of them. objectifying woman in his lyrics IS.
he needs to stop being such a fucking pussy, whining and complaining because he’s getting in trouble for slapping women around with his words.

Ja Rule is just saying what a lot of rubes are thinking: since being a homo is a choice, if the kids just see its existence, let alone be legitimized, first thing you know Little Betsy will drive a truck for the Teamsters and Little Bobby will take it up the ass while not arranging flowers. But out of sight, out of mind.
Decades ago, a self-described poet and intellectual had a government grant to travel with her readings as part of a show. She turned it down because she had a young son and didn’t want hime exposed to the homo male dancers. Her name? Maya Angelou.

Ja Rule is lame, he’s also wearing FUR, what a cunt.
Alexa
shannna1234, I’m not sure why that’s supposed to make it better. It doesn’t. If I had young kids I would much rather they were exposed to a gay dating show than to the crude lyrics and misogynist attitude in some of today’s rap. My straight friends, male and female, would say the same thing.

First of all, Gay is a choice? Please step out of the 1950’s. We’ve all accepted the truth by now.
I’ll ask the same old question: At what point did you decide to be straight?
Now that that piece of ridiculousness is settled.
Maya Angelou was poetic, that doesn’t mean she was never ignorant. Knowledge is a path, & I’m sure she’d represent a more enlightened choice today.
Dr. King Jr, Coretta Scott, & Yolanda ALL supported the principle that none are free in this country until we ALL share the same rights(As in marriage equality).
To link gays on television with vices like hoes & materialism, and driving DUI, and killin folks.
It really shows a level of stupidity that never ceases to amaze me.
Do you really think these destructive things are somehow more righteous because a majority of folks who support them are heterosexual?
Because WE ALL know when a majority, a couple of hundred years ago, supported some folks livin in chains, we know that majority wasn’t right. And it offers hope that a day will come that you will step out of the unintelligent darkness. A better day for us all.
I am continually amazed that anyone from a people who’s faced discrimination, would allow hypocracy in their heart, and discriminate against others.

ja rule es un k-po y dice toda la verdad sobre los gey no deverian existir aguante ja rule es el mejor rapero del mundo 50 cent y eminem son mierdas,gey.ja rule sos lo masssssssssssssss

Good for you Ja Rule. I don’t totally agree with him, but at least he has enough balls to say how he really feels instead of pretending that he is 100% okay with gays if he isn’t. Your still a terrible rapper though bro!
