It seems to be, the Achilles heel of so many things we do in Jamaica, is the absolute lack of standards, no bare minimums. Scanning the Pages of the Gleaner dated Sept. 5th…I was glad to see Asafa Powell bounce back from Olympic disappointment and doing the things we know he is capable of…That glow and pride was totally demolished on the next couple of pages though on encountering the Pulse Model Search.

Young girls strutting there stuff in two piece bikinis for a chance at the big time…not a problem in and of itself, except that one of the girls happens to be 13 years old and the other 14…WTF!!!

Why is there no minimum age for whoring out little girls? This is absolutely ridiculous…what’s the next step…the pole? It is mind boggling at times the fuckery that takes place in this country of ours? and its even worst when its pass off as business as usual.

Look! we know that Jamaica is not the most up and up place on this big blue marble…but that doesn’t mean we can’t set some bare minimums…identify some lines we do not cross, some things we still hold and keep sacred, and some steps we refuse to take…the innocence of children should be foremost amongst these things.

13 and 14 year old girls in two piece bikinis is not something we need to do, not something we should condone. Even if there is no law against it…Pulse and its managers need to at least wait until the “little pickney“ dem “bust breast”, pseudo kiddie porn is just WRONG!!

That it is still punishable by law to “cuss badwords” onstage during an adult event is nothing short of “fuckery“. This “blood Claat” hypocrisy is allowed to go unchallenged by Jamaicans while we convince ourselves that we live in a democracy, and we have freedom of speech and other self expression.

The “system” justifies blatant censorship by arguing that it is to protect our children…who hear badwords at home, school, on the buses, on the road and every “blood claat” place imaginable.

The last time I checked the dancehall is no place for minors, hence the criminalisation of badwords at these events is quite asinine. In the same way I can pay money at a massage parlor and get my “hood sucked” or pay to watch skanky ass russian girls dance naked at platinum, I would also like to reserve the right to hear every word written in a song including the “bumbo claats“…thank you.

With ticket prices running into the thousands and the lack of talent among our current crop of DJs every, “raas“, “blood and bumbo claat“, becomes very important in ensuring value for money. That I am to be deprived by the “blood claat” hypocrites who are going to make noise over a few well placed badwords, while the children they claim to be protecting are being “fucked” and worst in places of “safety” is quite ironic.

This censorship is not about the effects of badwords on children. We see them all over the streets of Kingston neglected, abused and unwanted. If there well being was important, why then wasn’t ‘Elephant Man’ prosecuted for having children under 10 years of age as a part of his act? This is not about the society either, our murder rate is approximately 3-4 persons per day, yet murderers are not hunted down and prosecuted as ardently as foul mouthed DJs.

So what is this “fuckery” really about?

Two “fucking” syllables…control…con…”fucking“…trol! It is an action outside of what is deemed acceptable, it is a challenge to the status quo that dictates that they control our voices and our ideas. They need to maintain control over the masses for the current levels of corruption to go unchecked, for the plight of the young and elderly to remain unseen, and for the rape and abuse of children in government facilities to go unnoticed.

Control our voice…they control our expressions! Control our expressions…they control our minds! And to that I say…not a “BLOOD CLAAT“.
